Crisis

Steven Tyler Quits Aerosmith

There have been multiple rumors recently suggesting that Aerosmith’s frontman Steven Tyler had left the band. And according to guitarist Joe Perry, he is saying something along the same lines, confirming that Tyler is unlikely to perform with the band again.

Per People:

“Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don’t know any more than you do about it,” Perry told the Las Vegas Sun, adding that the singer “has had no contact with me or the other band members”.

Perry’s comments follow those of bandmate Brad Whitford, who last week said that Aerosmith were going to hold ‘crisis talks’ about their future as a band after their relationship with Tyler became strained. Reports say that Tyler told “Classic Rock” magazine, that his next project was unclear, but it would definitely be something “working on the brand myself, Steven Tyler.” Not quite sure what thats supposed to mean, but if Tyler’s appearance in the movie “Be Cool” is anything to go by it will be the very worst thing ever created by a human being in all of mankinds history… Perry claims that Tyler has been cold towards him and he hasn’t heard from him in months, explaining that Tyler has been avoiding the bands phone calls, but they have “learned to live with it.”

“Obviously, he hasn’t been giving 100 percent for a long time,” Perry said. “Frankly, the last few months I’ve been wanting not to rock the boat. I don’t want him cancelling any more gigs. We really wanted to do these last four. We didn’t want to call him out or get him pissed off, for whatever reason. So we just let things lie. I still care for him as a person, or at least the person I used to know,” he said. “But things change. We’ll probably find somebody else, and then we’ll be able to move Aerosmith up a notch.”

But that won’t really be Aerosmith, will it? Sure, it might sound like Sweet Emotion when the new line-up plays it, but if it’s not being wailed out by an old man who looks like a Janice Dickinson mannequin that’s been stitched together out of rejected doll parts and dances like a monkey jacked up on crown and coke, then it’s not going to fool anyone.

Michael Lohan & NeNe Leakes War Of Words

Another war of words erupted on “The Insider” last night, this time between attention seeker Michael Lohan and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes.

Lohan has been speaking out to the media alot lately, saying that he wants to petition for his daughter’s Lindsay Lohans‘ conservatorship because he believes she is addicted to prescription drugs. Lohan appeared via satellite on the show, and Leakes barely let Lohan have a chance to defend himself for his public actions, though that still didn’t stop him from lashing back at her. She accused him of being a sell-out parent who is trying to make money on his daughter, calling him things like a “toxic parrot” and “manipulator,” but he denied the claims.

Per NY Daily News:

“I believe you’re just trying to make money off of Lindsay,” Leakes said. “You’re always in the press.”

Lohan responded, saying he hasn’t made any money off of his daughter and that he’s the only one trying to help her.

“I’m not going see my daughter die!” he said. “You have Michael Jackson, you had Heath Ledger, Adam Goldstein. You can go back to John Belushi, Anna Nicole Smith, and even Elvis Presley. It was prescription drugs that killed these people. I’m not going watch my daughter die.”

Undeterred, Leakes continued, threatening him physically. “Do not make me come after you,” she warned. “I will eat you alive.”

“Do something worthwhile and promote Nutri-System,” says Lohan. “Give your chair a break and move your fat a** outta there!”

Guess we know now where Lindsay gets her “Oh, well she’s fat” comebacks from. Leakes then takes it another step farther, telling Lohan to ‘go hang out with Jon Gosselin.’ Bah-Zing! Their war of the words ended with Lohan taking off his mic and leaving his chair, abruptly ending the interview. Come on now… we’re all adults here, aren’t we?

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Daddy Lohan, who is reportedly about to get served with a restraining order by Lindsay. This comes after he made it public knowledge that he hoped stage an intervention for her whose alarming appearance and erratic behavior has left him sure she’s been popping pills and drinking in excess. Lindsay didn’t appreciate her father’s heart-to-heart with the tabloids and obviously Leakes didn’t either! But in the end, its Papa Lohan who looks like the bigger man, as he’s issued an apology to Ms. Leakes.

Per The Insider:

“I apologize to the producers of ["The Insider"], the viewers and even Miss Leakes for coming back at her, for her attack on me, in the inappropriate manner I did. I do however wish I had known she was on the panel because then I would have known what I was in for and I would have handled things differently. To begin with, she may have children, but none in a crisis situation. Second, for her to call me a broke a** when I am not, but she had a house in foreclosure and 2 cars repoed [sic], I would have addressed that as well. This show was about helping my daughter and owning up to my part of her life and why I have taken these measures. Not a personal attack on Lindsay or me. I am sorry for my conduct and I hope Ms. Leakes is for hers.”

Take this with a grain of salt – Knowing him, its just another way to keep his name floating about. Pick up on the cheap shots in his so-called apology? Check out the video above for your LOL’s of the day!
