Steven Tyler To Quit Aerosmith?

Emma Renda — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:20:07 +0000

For the loud-mouthed nature of Aerosmith’s frontman Steven Tyler, the news that he has quit the band is being kept pretty quiet. So quiet even Joe Perry, his bandmate of 40 years, hardly knows what’s going on, according to the Guardian UK.

Perry told the Las Vegas Sun, “Steven quit as far as I can tell.”

The speculation follows a statement from Tyler to Classic Rock Magazine that he is embarking on a new project, that is working on “Brand Tyler.”

There is no news on the band’s website, but Perry took to Twitter to lament the loss of his frontman.

“Hasn’t called me in months. A bit cold. What about fans? The people that also love him and put him where he is. After 40 years? …Last time I phoned him he hung up on me,” Perry wrote.

Despite the fact that Tyler’s pitch yowl is the glue of the 70s rock band, Perry says Aerosmith will live on, going so far as to say they will replace the frontman.

“We’ll probably find somebody else, and then we’ll be able to move Aerosmith up a notch,” Perry told the Las Vegas Sun.

Band relations have been strained for months now, after Tyler broke his shoulder falling off the stage at a show in Abu Dhabi in August. Perry complained Tyler hasn’t been giving 100 per cent for a long time.

“Frankly, the last few months I’ve been wanting not to rock the boat,” Perry told the Sun. ”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.”

Tyler has neither confirmed nor denied the rumours.

Jon Gosselin Calls it Quits with Girlfriend Hailey Glassman

Jon Gosselin, 32, and girlfriend Hailey Glassman, 22, are taking a break according to E! News.

A source called Glassman, the daughter of the plastic surgeon who did a tummy tuck for Gosselin’s ex-wife, Kate, ”very indifferent and noncommittal. And this isn’t the first time she said she can’t take it anymore.”

Glassman said she put up with a lot of emotional abuse from the Jon and Kate Plus Eight star. “Sometimes he has trouble with the truth, and he will dance and dance around his lies. He’s like Jekyll and Hyde. But I still love him.”

Glassman spent the weekend in Los Angeles for an on-camera interview with The Insider, while Gosselin went back to Pennsylvania to be with his family.

“I have always endeavoured to be a loving father and a devoted parent who serves as a moral exemplar to his eight children,” he said. “My father was my inspiration and moral compass. I intend to serve the same role for my own children by taking responsibility for my errors and making right any pain I have caused to those I love.”

We Saw Avril Lavigne’s and Deryck Whibley’s Break Up Coming

Robert Ostfield — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:09:59 +0000

We are not saying that we are mind readers or we can see into the future, however we are not surprised by Avril Lavigne’s break up from her rocker husband Deryck Whibley. As Jordan explained in our XM radio show last week, we had an opportunity to interview Avril a few weeks ago when she was promoting the launch of her new clothing line, Abbey Dawn. We also saw Deryck there and had a quick interview with him. Although Deryck tried to be as courteous as possible, it was more than clear that he had no interest in being there, and there was something else happening behind the scenes. He just stood in the corner with a pissed off look. You can check out the interview below. Nevertheless we wish both Avril and Deryck the best of luck.

Vanessa Baker — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:50:06 +0000

Amy Winehouse’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, claims the singer called him and begged he take her back, reports Perez Hilton.

“We’ve been talking for the first time in months,” said Fielder-Civil. “I love her as much as ever. I know she still loves me, even though we’re getting divorced. Maybe this time we can do everything property and not mess it up.”

Fielder-Civil claims he and his estranged wife are both “adults… and clean now,” although he is currently still in rehab.

Friends of the couple say they believe there is a chance they could work out their differences and re-marry.

“Come home to me. Be with me,” Winehouse reportedly told her husband. “Do you love me?”

“I love you. You know I do,” was his alleged response.

The couple’s divorce is set to be final August 28. Fileder-Civil filed to end the union earlier this year citing infidelity.

Splitsville for Reggie and Kim

Vanessa Baker — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:54:15 +0000

After several years together, NFL running back Reggie Bush and reality star Kim Kardashian have decided to go their separate ways, reports Perez Hilton. Bush, 34, and Kardashian, 28, were reportedly at a juncture in their relationship and not spending enough time together.

“Reggie is not big into the Hollywood scene,” said a source. “He starts training camp this week and he asked Kim to move out to New Orleans and be with him. Unfortunately, she is set to begin filming the next season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and couldn’t make that commitment. They are both very sad about the split and are not ruling out a reconciliation but this is what’s best for them both right now.”

Joelle’s Top Five: Break Up Songs

Joelle Tomlinson — Fri, 22 May 2009 23:16:19 +0000

If record-store people were smart, they would file breakup music in a separate section. Because even though breakup songs cross almost every genre, it’s a very distinct kind of music. We’ve chosen five Breakup Music Hall of Fame first-ballot inductees to accompany this article, and none of them is simply a love song. They’re all about getting dumped and getting even. In the best breakup music, the song is actually an instrument of vengeance.

5. ¨Cry Me A River¨ – Justin Timberlake (2002)

Classic breakup line: “Girl I refuse, you must have me confused/ with some other guy/ Your bridges were burned, and now it’s your turn to cry.”

The fact that Justin Timberlake wrote this for Britney Spears makes it legendary in its own right. This bittersweet song captured the heart of thousands of fans, and was a staple item in the beginning of Timberlake´s career. Bet he´s glad everything worked out the way it did.

4. ¨Piece Of My Heart¨ – Erma Franklin (1967)

Classic breakup line: “You’re out on the streets looking good/ And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain’t right/ Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night/ Babe, I cry all the time!”

This is an iconic breakup song. All breakup music must be judged by it (and most likely pale in comparison). The intensity of Franklin´s voice is intimidating, and time has not worn down this classic story of angst.

3. ¨Gives You Hell¨¨- All American Rejects (2008)

Classic breakup line: ¨If you find a man that’s worth the damn and treats you well/ Then he’s a fool/You’re just as well/ Hope it gives you hell.¨

Not only is it catchy, it gets the message across rather clearly. This song captures a token transistion after the breakup where you smugly prove that you are better off without your ex. Though a tad overplayed on the radio, bitter single citizens can appreciate what the Rejects are promoting.

2. ¨You Oughta Know¨ – Alanis Morissette (1995)

Classic breakup line: “Every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back/ I hope you feel it/ Can you feel it?”

This is the most anger-packed breakup song ever. Even Amy Winehouse wouldn’t think to write a song this crazy. Let´s hope that the government put Morissette´s ex-flames into witness protection after this release.

1. ¨I Will Survive¨ – Gloria Gaynor (1978)

Classic breakup line: “I should have changed my stupid lock/ I should have made you leave your key/ If I had known for just one second/ You’d be back to bother me.”

It starts off with one of the best openings in songwriting history (”First I was afraid, I was petrified”) and rapidly accelerates from there. What’s especially great about the song is the way the narrator grows from a timid wallflower to a self-assured take-no-prisoners love Terminator. Modern medicine will never come up with a better breakup cure than “I Will Survive.”

Kate Moss Dumped For Partying Too Much

andPOP Staff — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 03:42:52 +0000

Kate Moss has reportedly been dumped for her refusal to change her hard partying ways.

After a turbulent relationship with Jamie Hince, the guitaris for The Kills, the pair have called it quits for good.

“Jamie told her he was fed up with her reluctance to stop partying and focus on normality,” a source told the UK Daily Mail. “We have heard it all before but this time friends felt her attitude was very different. They just don’t see eye-to-eye. When their relationship is good it’s amazing but when it’s bad it’s a tragedy.”

Ryan Too Jealous Over Scarlett’s Leading Men?

andPOP Staff — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:18:40 +0000

The National Enquirer reports that Ryan Reynold’s jealous streak may be a threat to his engagement to Scarlett Johansson.

Reynolds is said to be insecure about the good-looking men Johansson works with. “He almost drove Scarlett away,” a source told The Enquirer. “Now that she is marrying him, she told him in no uncertain terms to quit being jealous – after all, he’s the one who is shattering many men’s dreams of getting sexy Scarlett down the aisle. But it drives him crazy when other guys flirt with her.”

Johansson just filmed a movie with Orlando Bloom and Ethan Hawke.
