Briefly: 3 Doors Down, Kanye West, Marilyn Manson, Pharrell Williams

Rockers 3 Doors Down , who hail from Mississippi's hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast, are scheduled to perform a Dec. 10 benefit show at Alabama's Mobile Convention Center.

The sold-out show will raise money for the band's charitable arm, The Better Life Foundation, which will donate all proceeds to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast.

The benefit was originally scheduled to take place at the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi, MS, but the casino was destroyed by the hurricane just days before its grand opening was scheduled to take place.
