Steven Tyler and Finding Mrs. Right! "The first time I saw her, she worked for Clear Channel, so she was paying the band," Tyler explained. "One night she had this hair band on around her head. She looked really old-fashioned. So I took her back in the room and she tied me up with it, and I thought, 'I'm marrying this girl.' Exactly that way." So here you have it an accountant like Brady who shows off her unsuspecting naughty side and Tyler gets a revelation that she’s the one for him! Steven has also been in rehab a hand full of times and really hopes that married life with Brady will help him stay on the right path and not sway off track. Being sober now for two years Tyler adds, "I don't want to go back to that place. That place lost me, my kids, a marriage, a band. A lot of things. And it's for real. That's how dangerous that is. So I take [my sobriety] seriously." TMZ recently reported that Tyler's family are not too fond of Brady. Turns out the family doesn't think she's a very nice person. - By Shannon Edwards |

Steven Tyler on New Album in the Making Tyler gave a little insight into his new album in the making at a news conference held by the Television Critics Association, “All of it’s been written, but I gotta lay lyrics on it and I haven’t had a lot of time,” he said. “But what I’ve listened to so far just knocked me out. I know a good song, I know what’s gonna get played on the radio, I’m not that pretentious to say I think we’ve got hits, but I think we’ve got something, and that’s all that matters.” The band is working with producer Jack Douglas (who was behind the controls for many of their earlier hits) and this will be Aerosmith’s first album of brand new stuff since 2001. –By Shannon Edwards |

Steven Tyler Gives Dr. Drew Pinsky Hell In his new book, "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? He wrote "They wanted him to act out his own messed-up state when he entered rehab. It was ghoulish and unreal. They gave him 30 grand for the episode, he snorted it all, crashed his car, and he ended up in jail detox.” "It didn't seem to me all that ethical using actual f---ed-up people like Steven Adler in a reality show, but who am I to say? Not to mention getting trashed celebrities to mime their own self-destructive nosedives which they then sensationalize on a melo-fing-dramatic reality show, which so traumatizes them they end up in worse shape than ever -- from the drugs they bought with the money from the show." It’s easy to assume that almost all reality TV has to bring up the drama in everything to make things juicy. Doing this with addicts seems incredibly irresponsible – if true. – by John Beaudin

Aerosmith Set to Play American Idol Finale Tyler also told Rolling Stones magazine about the new Aerosmith album, “Well, I sent Joe a bunch of songs and he sent me a bunch of licks. We've e-mailed back and forth with each other, All I need is a few good licks; that's the way "Walk This Way" was written, one of Joe Perry's licks, (sings) and I grabbed the ball and ran with it, and that's all it takes sometimes. We're getting together for my father's birthday -- he'll be 95 -- in May and I'm gonna have a band meeting at which time we're gonna settle a lot of the tumult that's been going on in the last year between lawyers and managers... As John Lennon said, time for a new broom to sweep things clean, dahling!” He continues about his relationship with the band, “Sometimes other people try to keep us apart, so it's a little difficult,” continues Tyler. “I'm with different management. They're with different management, they've got their lawyers. I've got my lawyers. When we get together in a room, magic happens. Things get settled. It's just hard right now, but who knows what this summer will bring. We're in the middle of an album cycle. We may go out and do some shows, and we're already booked for November-December, South America and Japan. So who knows, man.”
Steven Tyler Shows Aerosmith He’s the Boss Tyler also had thoughts on drugs and stardom, "If you could just sprinkle 10 years of smoking pot, getting f****d up, getting laid, getting f****d, and 10 years of just life... which one of those people wouldn’t be a star?” Fox exec Mike Darnell also said that Tyler had some completion from the Who’s Roger Daltrey as judge. "I actually saw Roger Daltrey,” says Darnell, “He came in and was the complete reverse of Steve, very formal, his hair was cut, he looked like a regular guy. He had lost that sort of rock & roll charm. But Steven was unbelievably charming." – by John Beaudin

Aerosmith Working on New Album Despite American Idol The guitarist claims that all members, it seems including Steven Tyler who is busy with American Idol, have some time right now to start working on their latest project. Here is what he told AeroForceOne "We find ourselves with ten days of time where we can go out and work on some new Aerosmith material, and that's what we will be doing, commencing immediately, and pushing along the cause for coming up with a new album at some point in the near future." – by John Beaudin
Despite Facelift American Idol Loses 13% of Its Viewers With all the hoopla surrounding new judges Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler it was a disappointing debut. Some critics slammed the new judges for being “too nice,” something Simon Cowell was not. In fact many agree that Cowell was the real star that emerged from the show. He left after last year to concentrate on his own show to be launched on Fox later this year. Will American Idol pick up steam? Don’t count on it, though not entirely like movies, TV shows do share that important big kick at the beginning as the most important factor. TV, however, can come from behind and let’s also remember that the show was overwhelmingly the number one show of the week. – by John Beaudin |

Is Joe Perry Pissed at Steven Tyler? This could be a “Chicken or Egg” story considering it seemed to originate with Perry being pissed with Tyler for joining American Idol and holding the band hostage for 7 months while the show ran it's course but now Tyler is pointing fingers at his lead guitarist. The singer says he wants to start work on their next album but Perry is no where to be found. He told Rolling Stone magazine, “As far as Joe goes, the guy’s got LSD – Lead Strummer Disorder. I think the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of unrecorded Joe Perry licks floating around in the ether.” Tyler adds, “We’ve been brothers for ever and he’s just going through his thing. I don’t know where he is. But Joe, just come down to LA at the end of January – I’ve have enough downtime.” Just one year ago Perry seemed to be inviting other singer into the fold after Tyler's American Idol deal became public. Spending your days with Jennifer Lopez will not ruin a musical career but it sure can make you smell pretty damn shitty. It got so bad that last year Perry was rumored to have asked Paul Rodger to sing lead vocals but then lawyers got involved and the Toxic Twins were a couple again. “We just have to get together and put the shit together, Says Tyler. “We’re all musicians – we’re like peripheral visionaries. We don’t don’t see what’s in front of us: we see off to the sides. We just need to get together for it to be a band. That’s all.” - by John Beaudin

Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler Has Never Seen American Idol
It’s a Good Thing He Fell on His Head! Aerosmith's Steven Tyler Falls Off Stage It all started when the sound system quit during “Love in an Elevator,” Tyler, always the class clown, decided to entertain the crowd with some wild dancing while everything got fixed up. After swaying and grinding on microphone stands a few too many times the poor guy fell off stage. Lance Yellow Robe was about 8 feet from the stage when Tyler fell off, he said, "You could kind of see it coming because he was dancing all over the stage.” According to many sources most fans were ok when guitarist Joe Perry told the crowd the concert would not go on. Yellow Robe said, "I could care less about the concert being cancelled. I hope he's OK.” Tyler was taken to Rapid City Regional Hospital and though he is not currently listed on patient list, it does not mean he is still not in doctor’s care. Celebrities never get checked in anywhere under their real or stage names. Most sources are saying the singer suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries but he is ok.
It’s also important to note that Tyler is 61 and according to all account has surpassed his nine lives with a vengeance. All members of Aerosmith have been in and out of rehab through the years and are still going strong. – by John Beaudin
