On March 3, fans had an opportunity to butt heads with P.O.D.'s Sonny Sandoval and Wuv Bernardo in a session of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland as part of Xbox Live's "Game with Fame" program. Following signup, fans were entered into a drawing for a chance to play the musicians and chat with them, while friends of the band followed the action in person at Wuv's skateshop, The Orphanage in Chula Vista, Calif. Xbox Live gives subscribers the unique opportunity to meet, chat and play against some of today's hottest stars.

Former Creed frontman Scott Stapp told AP Radio that "someone" stole a videotape from him that depicted Stapp and fellow rocker Kid Rock having sex with four female fans in 1999. Rock, who is fighting the release of the tape in court, called Stapp an irresponsible "idiot" who should have guarded the tape more closely. Stapp said that whoever stole the tape "wants to hurt me and doesn't want me to be successful in my solo career." Stapp called the tape one of his "rock 'n' roll memories" that he should have "burned." "You don't want to say it's laughable, but it's just like, my God, there's so much stuff," he said. "Somebody does not like you and somebody wants you to fail."
