Realizing people weren’t buying his ‘my feet really hurt’ story, Steven Tyler has chosen to give honesty a try.
Back in May, the Aerosmith singer tried convincing the media that he was away seeking recuperation, not rehabilitation. Tyler said he was simply wanted time alone to recover from some surgeries. “I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet.”
Now the musician - who has battled addiction before - admits he was receiving help for much more. Steven told the Associated Press that his treatment was for the what came after his procedures. “To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics. You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don’t know about Joe [Perry, an Aerosmith bandmate], but I was off and running and I didn’t like the me that was me.”
See, Steven? Now was that so hard?

Madonna’s Marriage Nearing the End
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Rumors,
After nearly 8 years of marriage, it’s really starting to look like things are over between Madonna and Guy Ritchie.
Sources say the two have simply fallen out of love and have been living separate lives for some time now. According to one report, Guy has even distanced himself from kabbalah, the set of teachings the singer has been closely associated with.
Although the couple have been dogged by rumors for years, Ritchie’s absence from his wife’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in March helped fuel speculation. Now there’s word that Madonna, 49, has hired the same lawyer who helped guide Paul McCartney through his high-profile divorce proceedings.
While Guy, 39, could be entitled to nearly 1/2 of the singer’s estimated $600 million fortune, friends of the director claim its unlikely we’ll be seeing the two in court. According to one source, it’s “not his style to start profiteering from such sorry circumstances.”
As one would expect, the British journalists have latched onto this story and are continuously churning out new tidbits. Stay tuned for the developments.

Winehouse Still Smoking Despite Hospitalization
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Drugs,
Although Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, mistakenly claimed his daughter had emphysema, the singer is not exactly out of the woods.
In an attempt to clear up the erroneous report, reps clarified the 24-year-old’s health status. While Amy hasn’t yet been diagnosed with the irreversible lung disease, she does have “scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema.” According to spin doctor Chris Goodman, “If she keeps doing the wrong things, then it could lead to it. If she does the right things, it won’t.”
Unfortunately, no amount of scarring could overcome Amy’s strong penchant for inhaling. During a brief release from the hospital yesterday (she’s been there since fainting last Monday), Winehouse was snapped by the paparazzi…with a cigarette in her mouth. Maybe she was just saying one last goodbye to the cigs? Maybe?

UPDATE: Despite what Amy’s father told the media, the singer’s rep denies Winehouse has emphysema. She supposedly has a “scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema.”
After years of unhealthy living, it’s been determined that singer Amy Winehouse has the early stages of emphysema. This diagnosis was made after the 24-year-old collapsed at her home last Monday. A week of tests had ruled out other possibilities - such as tuberculosis - for her chest problems.
According to the Mayo Clinic, emphysema is “is a progressive lung disease that results in shortness of breath and reduces your capacity for physical activity.” Unfortunately, Winehouse could have been suffering for some time and didn’t experience any symptoms “until irreversible damage” had already occurred.

Tila Tequila Credits Herself For Legalization of Gay Marriage
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Style, Kind Acts, Legal Issues, Editorials,
According to loathsome MTV star/personality Tila Tequila, the people of California have her to thank for lifting the ban on gay marriage in the Golden State.
“It is because of me — I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement,” she claimed in an interview.
Yes, because the politicians, lobbyists, and judges involved in lifting the ban are prone to watching a reality show that is so contemptible that contestants are forced to eat pig vaginas to prove their love to a female who blatantly exploits her “bisexuality.”
“Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships]. Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.’ The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal,” she later elaborated.
Really, Tila? Really? I thought I heard plenty of asinine remarks from Jessica Alba and Katherine Heigl, but this? I’m not sure whether to laugh or feel very sorry for her.

Jessica Simpson’s Fashion Dis
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Hook-ups, Clothing, Rivalries, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors,
Singer/actress Jessica Simpson was recently caught out and about by the paparazzi wearing a controversial T-shirt. By using the message on her shirt, is Simpson sending a message of her own?
The T boldly proclaims “Real Girls Eat Meat,” a little non-vegetarian humor to combat the popularity of Ts with messages like “Meat is Murder,” no doubt. But perhaps this bit of humor goes much deeper than an affection for char-broiled burgers.
Simpson just so happens to be currently dating Tony Romo, who is the ex-boyfriend of famous vegetarian Carrie Underwood. The American Idol winner has been very vocal about her nutritional leanings, named “sexiest vegetarian” by PETA twice. When viewed from the perspective of relationship history, Simpson’s shirt suddenly takes on a whole new connotation…doesn’t it?
The press seems to think so. Today, Jessica’s shirt is appearing on entertainment sites all across the Internet. One unnamed source is reported as saying “Jess is sick of hearing about how Tony still has feelings for Carrie. She’s obviously trying to poke fun at her rival and let her know who really has Tony’s heart.”

Victoria Beckham Dated Corey Haim?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Break-ups, Hook-ups, Rumors,
The details of this story so ridiculous, they’re almost too pathetic not to be true.
Not only has Lost Boys’ star Corey Haim claimed to be an ex of Victoria Beckham, he admits their relationship suffered from bad kissing and a poor choice of boy bands.
The 36-year-old says he met a then Posh Spice when she and her fellow group members were recording in a London studio back in 1995. (What he was doing there is unclear.) After he seeing the five ladies enter, Haim apparently felt it was his duty to make the moves on the sour-faced gal. “These five punk rock chicks walked in and there was Vic - boom. So I had to hang out with her, it was my job as a man.” (I believe it is also your job as a man to get a job.)
