"Unfortunately, we have to cancel our upcoming show in Jakarta. We want to apologize to all our fans who were expecting to see us and hope that one day we can make it up to them,...

March 12th, 2013 4:38pm EDT
Steven Tyler
Steven Tyler has spoken out about new laws he introduced in his adopted Hawaii that prevent paparazzi from targeting celebrities.

Senate members voted in favor of the rocker's bill to protect the privacy of vacationing stars in the state last week and now the so-called Steven Tyler Act will go to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Tyler was so determined to get the new legislation, which will make it easier for holidaying celebrities to sue snappers who try to photograph them, passed in the state he testified in a Hawaii court last month.

And he's still celebrating the vi...

The so-called Steven Tyler Act will now go to the House of Representatives for consideration after state Senate officials announced the passing of the bill on Tuesday.

According to Yahoo! News, 23 of the 25 state Senate members voted in favor of the legislation, which will make it easier for stars to sue snappers who try to photograph them while in the islands.

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is single again after reportedly breaking off his engagement to Erin Brady.

The rocker proposed to Brady on Christmas Day in 2011 but their relationship was rumored to be on the rocks late last year.

A spokesman for the star dismissed split rumors in October, putting the couple's problems down to the usual "trials and tribulations in a relationship", but New York Post gossip column Page Six now reports they have separated.

A source tells the publication, "It's over for good this time... They're still friendly but they're going their own ways. The engagemen...

Steven Tyler Apologizes To Nicki Minaj, Says He's Not A Racist

November 29th, 2012 8:57am EST
Steven Tyler
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, who stepped down as a judge on "American Idol" earlier this year, started a Twitter feud with Nicki Minaj earlier this week when he suggested she would not be able to spot the next great artist if he showed up on stage in front of her.

He tweeted, "If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield. Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out."

Tyler has since issued a public apology and insists his comments have been misconstrued because he never intended to insult Minaj.

Minaj promptly fired bac...

Nicki Minaj
The new season of "American Idol" hasn't even aired yet, but Nicki Minaj is making a lot of people angry, including former judge Steven Tyler.

The Aerosmith singer commented on the animosity between Minaj and Mariah Carey, saying they should get along for the benefit of the contestants.

He tweeted, "I know that they've got something going on on the judges' panel; it shouldn't be that, it should be the opposite. They should have something going on, which is called 'camaraderie'.

"These kids, they just got out of a car from the Midwest somewhere and they're in New York City, they're scared...

11 Stars Who Will Never Be People's 'Sexiest Man Alive'

November 15th, 2012 2:04pm EST
Channing Tatum
Channing Tatum was named this year's Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, the 24th guy to earn the superficial title.

Tatum joins the likes of George Clooney, Hugh Jackman, Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington and Brad Pitt on the list; which has been around for 27 years now; and we thought we'd have a little fun with it and come up with a list of the top 10 guys we think (and are pretty sure) will never be named "Sexiest Man Alive" by People -- or any other publication, for that matter.

It may seem a little mean, but it's all in the name of good humor; and if anybody can take it, it's these...

Steven Tyler Lets The F-Bomb Slip On 'Today'

November 2nd, 2012 12:27pm EDT
Steven Tyler had a rocking Friday morning, managing to drop the F-bomb on live television as well as forget the show he was performing on.

The Aerosmith frontman performed on NBC’s Today, but was heard saying, “Good morning, America,” during an introduction.

Maybe Tyler was really just wishing Americans a good morning, or maybe he thought he was on ABC. Regardless, it was funny to watch.

Later in the show, while Al Roker was doing the weather, you could hear Tyler screaming in the background, ”Thanks for coming out, you crazy f**ks!”

Who will join Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson on the "American Idol" judging panel? Not country star Toby Keith. Keith's publicist has confirmed reports he was asked to work on the new season of the singing competition but didn't accept.

Keith was offered to fill the slot recently vacated by Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, but he turned producers down. The country's star rep told CountryWeekly.com that Keith was "flattered" by the invitation but didn't feel it was the right fit.

But "Idol" execs have been considering other big names in the music business, including country star Brad Paisley...

Steven Tyler Says He Only Did 'American Idol' For The Money

Steven Tyler
Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler has parted ways with the American Idol producers by revealing the TV talent show wasn't all fun.

The "Love in an Elevator" singer quit the show after two seasons earlier this month - a day before fellow judge Jennifer Lopez followed him out the door - and he is now admitting he only agreed to sit alongside J.Lo and Randy Jackson for the cash, and to give his bandmates the chance to calm down after he announced plans for a hiatus.

He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "It was something to do while the storm blew by, to be honest... not my cup of tea.

Mariah Carey
It's official - Mariah Carey has signed on as an American Idol judge.

TMZ.com reports that the singer's deal is for $12 million - close to what Jennifer Lopez made on her first season of the show.

Fox boss Kevin Reilly made the announcement during the TV Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills on Monday.

"I am so excited to be on Idol," she tells USA Today. "I can't wait to get started in a couple of months."

Justin Bieber Sued: Is a woman actually blaming Bieber for her hearing loss, claiming the pop star urged fans to scream at high levels?

Verdict: True. Yup, an Oregon woman is seeking over $9 million from Bieber, claiming he hung from a gondola and waved his hands to urge the crowd to shriek louder and louder, ultimately damaging her ears. It's not the first odd lawsuit we've heard of.

American Idol could be headed for a big shake-up if (and when) Jennifer Lopez decides not to return for a third season of the show - fans could be seeing three new faces on the judging panel.

First off, season eight runner-up Adam Lambert is currently in talks to join the show - but producers may not be stopping there. E! Online reports that Lambert may actually be replacing the show's lone remaining judge since its inception - Randy Jackson - not J. Lo.

That job, according to PerezHilton.com could go to someone else.

Steven Tyler -- Jennifer Lopez 'Doesn't Know' If She's Coming Back

Jennifer Lopez isn't just saying publicly she isn't sure if she wants to return to "American Idol," she's saying it privately too ... because Steven Tyler asked her the same question and got the same answer.

We bumped into Tyler yesterday in Malibu, and in between posing for pics with a fan, he told our photog he got a big "I don't know" when he asked JLo about her plans for next season.

And if JLo should go, Tyler didn't offer up any specific suggestions for who should take her spot ... but he did have one general qualification he feels anyone who sits in the judge's chair should meet.

But no bother! We’ll press on. And here’s a prediction before the show even starts: The contestants will start singing a song and mid-way through they’ll introduce the original artist to join them onstage. Sorry if I just ruined the show for you.

'American Idol' Recap: It's Phillip In A Landslide On Final Performance Night

May 23rd, 2012 7:07am EDT
Phillip Phillips performs on AMERICAN IDOL
The joke ever since Simon left is, “What do the judges even do anymore?” Well, tonight that concern was apt. Very apt. Because the judges never spoke. They didn’t break down individual performances. Instead, they simply offered a few half-finished thoughts at the end of the first two performances before finally swooping in at the end.

I’m not sure why we even needed them until the last minute. They should have been trotted out like wrestlers interrupting a match. That’s how useless they were for the first 45 minutes. It’s like they weren’t there.

So without them, it looks like it’s up to ...

'American Idol' Recap: Joshua Ledet Is Out As The Best Contestant Loses Again

May 18th, 2012 9:12am EDT
Joshua Ledet is eliminated on AMERICAN IDOL
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about ‘Idol’ it’s that the best doesn’t usually win. Last night, the clear standout of this year’s season, Joshua Ledet, was unceremoniously shown the door while waiting on the doorstep of the finale. This after delivering a stellar rendition of ‘No More Drama’ and winning the night last night by leaps and bounds.

Blame going first. Blame the voters’ apparent detest for soul music. Blame Joshua’s being too old school for the show’s demographic. Whatever the reason, Joshua won’t compete in the finale and join the long line of ‘Idol’ losers who were actuall...

'American Idol': Phillip And Joshua Are The Standouts Of The Final Three

The Final 3: L-R: Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Josh Led
Finally, the producers find a way to fill time that’s actually worth mentioning. Traditionally, we’ve saved the big homecoming clip packages for the final three results show, but with two hours to fill (instead of the typical 90 minutes) the producers shrewdly moved those fun packages to the performance show.

I think this worked a lot better because there’s always some sadness, some trepidation, some fear on the results show since somebody is about to get voted off. It’s hard to get in the full celebratory mode of these packages. They just work better on the fun performance show where ever...

'American Idol' Recap: Hollie Cavanagh Goes Home + Final Three Power Rankings

Hollie Cavanagh is eliminated on AMERICAN IDOL
Every year there’s a lurker. That one contestant that you think is going home each week but somehow, improbably, outlasts several other potential favorites and ends up around way longer than you ever expected.

This year, it was that little singling pixie, Hollie. Week-after-week she was in the bottom three. We heard her called stiff, wooden, emotionless and overly technical. All cold qualities that usually do a singer in with a voting public. They want somebody they can love through their performances, and Hollie didn’t really put off that vibe.

Still, despite that, she hung around. And s...

'American Idol' Down To Three After Hollie Cavanagh's Dismal Bonnie Raitt Cover Does Her In

May 11th, 2012 12:33am EDT
Holly Cavanagh
Hollie Cavanagh couldn't make America love her.

The 18-year-old McKinney, Texas, native received the fewest number of votes on this week's American Idol and was sent home Thursday night.

Hollie's lacking performance of Bonnie Raitt's breakup ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me", which judge Randy Jackson called "the wrong choice at the wrong time", proved to be the budding singer's downfall.

Mentor Jimmy Iovine said Holly "crashed and burned and lost out to those other three singers," chalking up her woes to her lack of having "the personal experience or the professional experience" to take...

Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Steven Tyler & More Celebs Attend 'Dark Shadows' Premiere

Johnny Depp
Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows" hits theaters on Friday, and several celebrities attended the red carpet premiere in Los Angeles on Monday.

The film centers on an imprisoned vampire, Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp), who is set free and returns to his ancestral home in the 1970s.

Depp wore a brown suit that matched his hair, and he accesorized with several necklaces (we can't expect him ever to go the traditional route with a tie.)

Aerosmith rocker and "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler also wore several chains around his neck. But all eyes were drawn to his funky bellbottom pants.
