The teens had created the posters for a Chevy-sponsored contest in hopes of winning the top prize: meeting the trio in person. Chevy reps trolled the parking lot beforehand to view entries, but most were never judged because there were too many.http://www.newser.com/story/35879/jonas-brothers-fans-see-red-over-green-posters.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 27 Aug 2008 9:29:30 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35877/son-of-rap-pioneer-dr-dre-dead-at-20.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe son of rap icon Dr. Dre died this weekend in his home northwest of Los Angeles, the Times reports.

The baby of the clan may soon have a much larger and tapered widescreen, according to Apple-watcher Kevin Rose, who also says iTunes 8.0 is on the way, and that Apple's OSX will get Blu-ray support.http://www.newser.com/story/35760/makeover-rumored-for-nano.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 25 Aug 2008 13:45:48 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35733/la-cop-pulls-gun-on-diddy.html?refid=rss_all_defaultA Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy pulled a gun on Sean “Diddy” Combs during a routine traffic stop early yesterday, the New York Daily News reports. The officer “ pulled his firearm, fearing for his safety,” the department explained, when the rap mogul and six of his cohorts advanced toward him after an uncooperative member of Combs’ entourage was detained.http://www.newser.com/story/35733/la-cop-pulls-gun-on-diddy.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 25 Aug 2008 8:47:02 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35475/tokio-hotel-rocks-screaming-tweens.html?refid=rss_all_defaultHaving dominated Europe, German rockers Tokio Hotel are threatening to go mainstream in the US, if the reception their riff-heavy pop metal earned among screaming preteens in San Francisco this week is any indication. "The best way to describe the glam-metal-emo-pop-tween group," Aidin Vaziri writes in the Chronicle , "is like the Jonas Brothers for girls who prefer chipped black nail polish and fishnet stockings to unicorn puffy stickers and purity rings."http://www.newser.com/story/35475/tokio-hotel-rocks-screaming-tweens.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 22 Aug 2008 8:58:28 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35482/china-blocks-itunes-over-pro-tibet-album.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe Chinese government has blocked access to Apple’s iTunes music store for providing free downloads of a pro-Tibet compilation to Olympic athletes, the Telegraph reports. Users reported a blackout Monday, shortly after the Campaign for Tibet notes that 40 Olympians had downloaded the record. Only the Chinese iTunes store is blocked, however—people in China can access other countries' stores with foreign credit cards.http://www.newser.com/story/35482/china-blocks-itunes-over-pro-tibet-album.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 21 Aug 2008 15:41:00 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35441/timberlake-spears-plan-duet.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe long-awaited duet between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake may finally see the light of day. The New York Pos t reports that the former teeny-bopper couple will collaborate on a track for Spears’ next album, due out at the end of '08. It's the second go-round for the duo: Timberlake offered his Midas touch to a mid-breakdown Spears last year, but she never showed up at the studio to record the track.http://www.newser.com/story/35441/timberlake-spears-plan-duet.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 21 Aug 2008 8:00:54 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35309/ringback-tones-a-goldmine.html?refid=rss_all_defaultRingback tones—the music callers hear while waiting for the party they’re calling to answer the phone—are sounding less like Justin Timberlake and more like a cash register to wireless providers. Sales of ringback tones should triple to $4.7 billion by 2012, CNET reports. That’s almost what mobile games bring in, making ringback tones the second-most-lucrative premium service available.http://www.newser.com/story/35309/ringback-tones-a-goldmine.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 20 Aug 2008 11:27:16 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/35284/fest-cops-ban-dohertys-band.html?refid=rss_all_defaultPolice have banned Pete Doherty's band Babyshambles from headlining a UK music festival, citing the group's rowdy stage antics, NME reports. After "an analysis of what Pete Doherty and his band does," police determined they "speed up and then slow down the music" to incite violence. Moonfest organizers had their license revoked and canceled the Wiltshire festival as a result.http://www.newser.com/story/35284/fest-cops-ban-dohertys-band.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 20 Aug 2008 8:55:51 CDT
