Steven Tyler of Aerosmith was feeling the hurt yesterday after taking a dive in his hotel.
He and the rest of the Beantown boys are in Paraguay and had to postpone their concert Tuesday night. Here’s what happened:
The 63 year old Tyler was in the shower when he fell, hit his face and broke two teeth.
A spokesman is calling the accident “minor” even though Tyler suffered cuts to his face and had to get two dental implants.
The concert is rescheduled for tonight (Wednesday) and organizers expected more than 50,000 people will attend.
OK…one question. Paraguay must have some master dentists to be able to implant teeth, that would allow Tyler to be able to perform and sing the night after losing two teeth.
For all the witty plays that Amy Winehouse had on rehab, the realities of alcohol and drug abuse and addiction are just sad.
On Saturday, Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment at the age of 27. Her struggles with addiction were well played out in the public’s eye, but in the end she was human after all. At this point there is no evidence that drugs were in her apartment, or even that they had anything to do with her death. It is clear that they took a toll on her.
Fellow Brit Adele, who Winehouse paved the way for, released a statement today saying Amy was ‘brilliant” and “fearlessly hilarious.”
M.I.A., known for her hard hitting track Paper Planes released the tribute track “27” on her Twitter feed. Have a listen:
Winehouse’s 2003 debut album, Frank, was critically successful in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album, Back to Black, led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made Winehouse the first British female to win five Grammys,[3][4] including three of the “Big Four“: Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. On 14 February 2007, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best British Album.
She won the Ivor Novello Award three times, one in 2004 for Best Contemporary Song (musically and lyrically) for “Stronger Than Me“, one in 2007 for Best Contemporary Song for “Rehab“, and one in 2008 for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for “Love Is a Losing Game“, among other distinctions. The album was the third biggest seller of the 2000s in the United Kingdom – Source: Wikipedia
When it comes to her hit song “Rehab, ” Winehouse was asked by The Daily Mail on August 3, 2007 how she writes songs. Said Winehouse: “With ‘Rehab’ I was walking down the street with Mark Ronson, who produced my last album. I just sang the hook out loud. It was quite silly really.” She was then asked, “Did you sing the ‘no no no’ bit as well?’” “Yeah, I sang the whole line exactly as it turned out on the record! Mark laughed and asked me who wrote it because he liked it. I told him that I’d just made it up but that it was true and he encouraged me to turn it into a song, which took me 5 minutes. It wasn’t hard. It was about what my old management company (run by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller) wanted me to do. – Source : Artistfacts
The “27 Club,” notorious for aritists who have died at the age of 27 now contains the names; Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and now Winehouse.
I’m just gonna go out on a limb and say that the world is not gonna end this weekend. The guy who predicted it also said end times were here in 1994. I don’t think that prediction went too well for him.
But just in case. We have found some evidence that it may be for real.
BTW…we are giving away a cool prize pack for a lucky listener just in case we make it…click here.
After watching American Idol last night (and thanks to everyone who participated in our Idol Chat,) I believe it’s now a freak show.
We may have witnessed a serious jumping of the shark last night as the show derailed into vaudevillian stage antics.
Casey Abrams VERY AWKWARDLY kisses Jennifer Lopez.
Ryan Seacrest shows up in a beard.
Steven Tyler, drops a series of F-Bombs and puts his tongue through a picture of Seacrest and flips it around.
Was that all very Rock & Roll? Sure
Was it a fit for what we know American Idol to be? No way.
At least on the surface, Idol has always had something of a bubble gum image, not really sexualized and mostly PG rated. It was expected that the show format would change with the introduction of Tyler, but last night’s show was more like cheesy comic antics mixed with what goes on in a rock star’s dressing room.
Was it bad? Not necessarily. It was just out of format and for a prime time show. I for sure can say it’s just another freakshow.
Just watched the new OWN (that’s Oprah Winfrey Network to you non-followers) show called The Judds. You should watch this show if:
1. You think you and your mom have issues. I’ve never seen a couple of ladies with more issues tied up that are also forced to make their livings by being together. Yikes. This makes Tatum and Ryan O’Neal’s issues look like a nice little walk in the park.
2. You want to learn how to speak like a therapist. “What I’m hearing you say mother is that…”, “That’s not working for me Wynonna…”. Not since Dr. Phil first stepped on to Oprah’s stage has there been enough shrink talk to make even Sigmund Freud roll his eyes.
3. You like Wisconsin. The second episode of the series features the Judds at their first concert together in 10 years, and it just happens to be in Green Bay, WI.
Set your DVRs people. This 6 part series is freaky and fabulous.

3. “There are parts of me that are Dennis Hopper.”
2. “I’m not fair game. I’m not a soft target. It’s over. There’s a new sheriff in town. And he has an army of assassins.”
1. “The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning.”

I’m not exactly sure how to process the latest madness to come from Charlie Sheen’s head.
