Contrary to reports, Steven Tyler has not quit the band Aerosmith.
The rocker, who was widely reported to have quit his 40-year partnership with the band’s lead guitarist Joe Perry after a bitter rift, now says he does not intend to leave.
Trade daily The Hollywood Reporter cited unnamed sources that said Tyler is expected to make an announcement soon saying he didn’t quit the band and doesn’t plan to.
Joe Perry said he and the band were “positively looking for a new singer to work with”. Perry’s announcement came on his Twitter page after several weeks of hints from both Tyler and Perry. Tyler’s bouts of illness had caused the American rockers to shelve the rest of a North American tour. Perry and Tyler had been feuding after being songwriting partners for 40 years.
The Hollywood Reporter, meanwhile, said the band’s affairs were complicated lately by the fact of separate management and legal teams kept by Perry and Tyler.
If you are part of the Twitter world, I’m sure you would have noticed something a little off with Britney Spears’ page. Obviously, someone was able to hack into the pop star’s page. I have to give some props to whoever did it because it is pretty funny, albeit sick too. The hacker not only has the singer offer herself up to Satan but also has her warn us of the new world order. I wonder how Britney reacted when she saw her page when she woke up. I’m pretty sure she would have worn a face that I would have paid to see.
The entire industry has rallied around Taylor Swift after the whole incident at Sunday night’s MTV VMAs as celebrities have taken to their respective Twitter accounts to show their outrage at Kanye West. Pink said “Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me.” Adam Lambert said “Kanye needs to chill. He freaks out every year. It ain’t that deep man.” Joel Madden said “WOW Taylor Swift’s first VMA and she didn’t even get to ENJOY it. Kanye You were just a bully on that one man.” Kellie Pickler said “Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls bitch! don’t mess w/my lil sis!!” Mind you, those are some of the nicer ones.
Blink 182 has cancelled a couple more shows with their touring partners Weezer and Taking Back Sunday as the band continues to mourn the loss of their friend, DJ AM. A representative for Weezer revealed that the concert in Cleveland last week was cancelled while, for Thursday’s St. Louis show, Taking Back Sunday guitarist Eddie Reyes went on Twitter to say that he was in his home state and that he wouldn’t be getting back to the tour until the weekend. I know how important it is to have a time to grieve but Blink 182 also needs to take care of their fans. I hope they already have plans for a refund or to reschedule the shows.

A lot of American Idol fans are feeling the sting of the news that Paula Abdul will no longer be part of the show. Ryan Seacrest recently went on his Twitter to tell us how he felt when he found out. The host said “Idol and the cast have grown with each other over the last 8 seasons..I can’t imagine the panel without puala. She’s a star @ a great friend.” Funny how he can’t even spell her name right. I wonder how Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson feel about their fellow judge leaving. I think anyone could care less about Kara DioGuardi’s thoughts on the matter.
In order to address break up rumors, the Pussycat Dolls founder, Robin Antin, took to her Twitter to set the record straight. She said “The Pussycat Dolls r NOT breaking up…. & IF they ever were, u would hear it from ME 1st, NOT GOSSIP…Album #3 on the way!” How can it be gossip when a member of the group, Ashley Roberts, herself said that the band was splitting up? I don’t have any complaints though. But if they all want to put a stop to the rumors, maybe they could try having the other girls sing instead of just giving everything to Nicole Scherzinger.
Courtney Love recently went on her Twitter to make some catty comments about The Veronicas and Taylor Momsen. According to Kurt Cobain’s widow, they may not able to rock but I think they have more class. In response to Courtney’s comments, both Jessica and Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas kept it polite with just a hint of sass as they took to their own Twitter pages. Jessica said that she didn’t dislike Courtney but that she was surprised by the comment made about their look. Lisa, on the other hand, wanted to know why Courtney thought her opinions even matter. Burn.
Kevin Jonas better make sure that his fiancé is happy because his two younger brothers may both be nursing some broken hearts. As far as I know, Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus are still a couple. However, if you follow the Hannah Montana star’s Twitter, there might be a reconciliation between her and ex-boyfriend Justin Gaston. Miley recently tweeted about listening to a John Mayer song saying “Listening to ‘Comfortable’ and thinking of you. I miss your voice.” Some time after that, Justin tweeted “Car ride with @benmschofield and @sierrajacobson9 listening to “I loved you, grey sweatpants, no makeup, so perfect” and you know it’s true.”
Pink was forced to cancel her Monday night show in Brisbane, Australia as she was suffering from laryngitis. The show has since been rescheduled for July 27th and the original date’s tickets will be honored at the concert without a need to exchange them. The pop rock singer took to her Twitter account to talk a little about it saying “Had to cancel my first show in 2 years. No one feels worse than I do. Very sorry.” That’s quite ok dear. Every music fan should know how a tour schedule can take its toll on someone’s body. I just hope she gets better soon.
