You would think that might be what were looking at here. Nope. This is the actual photo of Steven Tyler after slipping in the shower this week in Paraguay.

He tells The Today Show that he didn’t fall off the wagon, just slipped on the soap.

Ouch.  Did he have sandpaper on his shower wall?  Perhaps fighting Mike Tyson was a bad choice.

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.

Also…Steven. Maybe try a bath next time.

…or at least your bank account to your brother.

According to a newspaper interview in Michigan.  Madonna’s older brother, Anthony Ciccone, says he’s living under a bridge.

According to Ciccone: “My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time.” He attributes his circumstances to losing his job at his father’s winery over a year ago.

Man, if this can happen to the brother of a kazillionaire music talent in America, this can happen to anyone. I don’t know what the family situation is here, but you would think that a sibling wouldn’t let their own blood live on the streets.

Madonna: Express Yourself and Open Your Heart to help your own brother Keep It Together.  These are your words, not mine.

When you see a movie trailer…do you have the expectation that the movie will match it?

I take the approach that the trailer is just a pitch for you to buy a movie ticket. I don’t necessarily take them at face value, nor do I think they are the complete story. They’re just teasers. Just like my lead in sentence in the blog was a teaser to keep you reading.

A Michigan woman says yes, they should be truthful. She’s suing her local theater chain and the company that made the trailer to the recent Ryan Gosling movie “Drive.”   She says the trailer looked like a car chase movie, but says that wasn’t how the movie played out.  She wants her ticket price back and wants to make sure future trailers are more truthful.

I agree with her. That movie seemed a little devious, because the trailer showed a lot more car chasing that what was actually in the film.

I say more power to her, but I don’t think I support her plight.

By the way. Here’s my review plus the trailer.

Who woulda thought that this country kid with the weird stare from the last cycle of American Idol would pop?

Scotty McCreery’s album “Clear As Day” entered The Billboard 200 at #1 this week. You might expect a debut album by an American Idol winner to open in the top spot, but this is the first one to do so since 2003.

Kelly Clarkson, the Season 1 winner, bowed at #1 in April 2003 with “Thankful.” Ruben Studdard, the Season 2 champ, followed suit that December with “Soulful.”

Not much action since then though.

Sounds like a good subtitle for a Terminator movie, but unfortunately for us, this is reality.

According to a new survey, cell phones and other mobile devices now outnumber humans in the U.S.

There are 327 million active phones, tablets and laptops on cellular networks. That compares with 315 million women, men, girls, boys and infants populating the U.S.  It’s because some people are carrying a work and a personal cell.

Here’s the thing that freaks me out about this story.  This egghead Isaac Asimov is the one who came up with the laws of robotics.  Assuming these machines do become intelligent enough to rise up, are they gonna pay attention to his old laws?  This video is in black & white from the 1950s!

There’s still a weird old Wisconsin law that says makes it illegal to serve Apple Pie without a slice of cheese on it!

Nobody pays attention to that.  Who says robots are gonna pay attention to the “don’t destroy all humans” rule?

Is this a Halloween prank or something?

Beyoncé’s publicistis having to deny internet rumors that the singer is faking her pregnancy.

According to Rollingstone.com:

The rumors stem mainly from an appearance on the Australian talk show Sunday Night HD in which her stomach appeared to fold when she sat down, suggesting that she was wearing a prosthetic baby bump. This led to further speculation that the R&B star and her husband Jay-Z had hired a surrogate or were secretly planning to adopt.

Beyonce’s people say the prosthetic rumors are “stupid, ridiculous and false.”

You can judge for yourself.  Fwd to 1:01 for a questionable moment:

In this week’s most unusual convergence of food and music, Adam Horovitz, better known as Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys, popped up on Bravo’s cooking competition show Top Chef: Just Desserts.

The subject for the day was to be a special Beastie Boys-themed food contest. A huge cart was promptly wheeled out containing foods mentioned in the lyrics of Beastie Boys songs, including bacon, pork and beans, ravioli, popcorn and, of course, matzo balls.

Now that’s a sure shot of root down.

Here’s the thing.

I can separate annoying qualities from physical qualities in a person.  I don’t know.  It’s a gift I’ve always had.

That’s why I’m not annoyed that Kim Kardashian has been named the most annoying celebrity out there.

According to a new Parade Magazine poll:

The winner was newlywed Kim Kardashian, with 29 percent of the vote, just edging out Charlie Sheen, who earned 27 percent.  Rounding out the top five were “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki, Donald Trump and Brad “The Bachelor” Womack.

Is Kardashian annoying?  Sure she it.  Is she still good looking? Oh yeah.

Would I hate if we hung out?  Not at all, as long as I can keep my earbud headphones in at all times, listening to the radio.
