But more importantly, I’m feeling very defensive about Steven Tyler. Listen up people…..he is a rock and roll singer not one of The Four Tenors. He rasped and screamed his way through the national anthem just like he’s been singing Aerosmith song for DECADES. The only difference is he was backed by his band, which apparently makes a huge difference to the masses.

I suppose the face that he making a living judging other people singing on American Idol these days plays into this ruckus, but still and again….it’s STEVEN TYLER. Get off his cloud people.

Haters gotta hate.

Kid Rock told Entertainment Weekly: “I think it’s the stupidest thing he’s ever done in his life. He’s a sacred American institution of rock and roll, and he just threw it all out the window. Just stomped on it and set it on fire. I think whoever’s advising him… we should bring back the guillotine, or whatever they call that thing. And if it was himself, he needs some serious counselling. I love him to death, but I gotta speak the truth.”

Speak it brotha! Although I do seriously doubt taking this job is the stupidest thing Stevie has ever done.

The announcement that Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and Randy Jackson will be on the judging panel for season 10 of American Idol was made at a live event Wednesday.

This A list rocker has been trying for the past month to convince a girl he met in rehab to have an abortion. The reason? She is 17. So far she has refused.

Seriously, he’s 61 years old…and in rockstar years that is about 100. It also doesn’t help that he is still convalescing from his old man tumble off stage last week.

I know I shouldn’t mock one of the greats…but I’m just saying when you start falling off stage and breaking shit it might be time to hang it up. You don’t see Caleb Followill (Kings of Leon) tottering off the stage.

Tylers representative says that he has no knowledge of the situation. Get with the program dude.

“I have to watch what I eat because I have this ongoing nightmare that I’m going to put on weight and end up looking like some of the other rock stars of a certain age who bounce around the stage. You look at them and think, ‘Oh my God, what happened to you? How did you let yourself get like that?’ I always call Joe Perry, my bandmate, and say, ‘Do you still weigh 145 pounds?’ “For God’s sake I still want to be able to fit into those pants I wore on the last tour. I just live by the motto that nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. I don’t eat regularly during the day and in the evening I tend to stick to wild salmon and broccoli. Every night before I get into bed, I do 250 sit-ups religiously.”

Hmmm…eating disorder much Steven? This sheds some light on the Tyler family’s weight issues. It’s no secret that two of Steven daughters have battled their weight over the years as well. Liv Tyler has said that she has been told she would get better acting roles if she would lose weight and her sister Mia Tyler finally learned to accept her plus size body and is now a high fashion plus model.

It was a really crappy year for Steven, during this horrible treatment that would wake him up in the middle of the night with violent nosebleeds, his marriage to Teresa Barrick also fell apart. Just like Pamela Anderson, Steven is sort of becoming a celebrity spokesperson for the disease. He says, “Hepatitis C is the one that, of all the people in this room, at least three have it and don’t know it. It’s the silent killer. I may go on ‘Oprah’ and talk about this.” Oprah gets all the good celebrity disease stories.
