If you’re listening to his bandmates in Aerosmith, then one could safely assume that Steven Tyler has some problems with drugs.

Drummer Joey Kramer said, “I think that he needs help and that attention needs to be put to his health.”

He said that he’s not referring to Tyler’s fall when he tumbled off of the stage in Sturgis. When he was asked whether he thinks something else is going on with the legendary singer, he said, “I do.”

Rumors are suggesting that Tyler may be back to his old partying ways. Kramer said that he’s worried because Tyler has basically isolated himself from the other guys in the band. He said, “He’s got some bad influences in his life right now and he’s making poor choices. His behavior is spinning out of control.”

I hope that they’re all wrong about him. That band is nothing without him and they should know that. Even though he wants to go on a two year hiatus, they should stick behind him and support him, no matter what. Stop bashing him in the press already!

Apparently that is the case! When it came to one young fan, who waited an entire eleven hours to see Taylor Swift and get her autograph, she completely dissed her.

One fan had waited along the sidelines for eleven hours for an autograph from the star, but was left disappointed when Taylor made her way into her hotel, without even stopping. Her assistant told the waiting fans that Taylor had no plans to sign anything that day, and left them sad over the incident.

The fan was upset and crying, yelling that she would sell her concert ticket on eBay to anyone who would listen.

I would say that Taylor has been a great role model for young girls, so they shouldn’t write her off because she was probably tired from a performance or appearance. What do you think?

It hasn’t been too long since Avril Lavigne filed for divorce, and she’s already been linked to three different men. One was Justin Murdock, heir to the Dole fortune, the other was ex-boyfriend (gross) Brandon Davis, and now she’s rumored to be hooking up with Wilmer “Fez” Valderrama.

She was reportedly spotted out with Wilmer on Saturday night and was seen getting close at Wonderland in L.A.

An eyewitness said, “Avril had her hand on his knee at one point. They looked super cozy together.” They were said to have stayed until a bit after 2 a.m.

The spy added, “There were others at the table but you could tell they only had eyes for each other. They were whispering close the entire night, laughing and having a lot of fun.”

Are you surprised? I bet Deryck Whibley is. It’s only been a month since she filed for divorce.

Robert DeNiro apparently wants to become a rap star! This is the funniest tidbit ever, so I had to share it with you.

While working with 50 Cent on their movie “Righteous Kill” last year, the duo became good friends. Now, Bob wants to take a page out of Fiddy’s book and rap.

He said, “We had some good conversations. As for any future collaborations or rapping, you never know.”

Now I would pay to hear Robert DeNiro rapping about anything. That would be hilarious. I can just hear him now, “I got my eye on you, Focker”…but what rhymes with that?

Reportedly, Rihanna wanted to make a heavy metal album with 80’s rock outfit Extreme. Remember them? They were responsible for the hit song “More Than Words”.

She talked to Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, but she went down a different path. In a recent interview, Nuno said, “I’ve been asked to play with pop artists in the past but turned them down because they didn’t really get the vibe. But when I spoke to Rihanna she was totally into transforming herself into a heavy rock chick. She was listening to Led Zeppelin and new acts like Paramore and said that was the direction she wanted to go, so I said yes. I think the label had a seizure, so they went down another route.”

I would love to see Nuno make a comeback of any sort, he has a lot of talent that’s just waiting to be tapped.

I think he should work with Lady Gaga, now that would be interesting. Maybe Rihanna’s label will come around next time and allow her to have much more of a say when it comes to the musical path she wishes to take.

Jay-Z has canceled the remaining tour dates for his tour in support of “Blueprint 3″. The rapper is citing scheduling conflicts as the reason for the scrapped gigs.

He was set to perform in Lubbock, Texas, later today, as well as two other shows in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and El Paso, Texas.

Billy Joel has pulled out of his concert with Elton John, citing mysterious medical reasons as his reason for backing out.

Elton had previously suffered from the flu and was set to return to the stage, but ended up scrapping his U.K. tour and a gig in Ireland, after suffering with the nasty symptoms.

Elton was due to return to the stage in San Jose later on today, but Billy has pulled out of the concert. Elton’s website says, “Live Nation and Another Planet Entertainment, as well as HP Pavilion at San Jose, were informed today that Billy Joel is unable to tour due to medical reasons. Organizers of the concert are working to establish a new concert date. Both Billy Joel and Elton are disappointed to be postponing the November 17 concert, and are looking forward to announcing a new concert date, once the availabilities have been worked out by all parties.”

Get well soon, Billy! He’s probably suffering from the flu, it’s definitely making the rounds.

Over the summer, Adam Lambert came out as gay on the cover of “Rolling Stone” magazine. When Gene Simmons saw that, he fired off some crazy commentary at the singer, claiming that it would hurt his career, instead of helping it.

Now Adam is lashing back, saying that Gene is “obnoxious” and “a d*ck.”

Gene said that Adam should’ve kept that information to himself, instead of coming out, because his being gay would overshadow his career as a singer.

In a new interview, Adam said, “He’s obnoxious, and what a hypocrite — all he talks about is his sex life. He was being a d*ck — and he’s not the greatest singer.”

Snap! The ball’s in your court, Gene!

Despite taking over the charts with her hit album, “The Fame” (and soon to be “The Fame Monster”), Lady Gaga actually has a dream of acting.

She is making her acting debut in an episode of “Gossip Girl”, and is determined to pursue other acting ambitions in a movie based on music.

A source said, “She sees acting as a natural progression in her career. One idea she has is for a rock opera which would be a huge, big budget move made to her own very unique ideas. But she is also keen on straight dramatic roles. She has the drive and confidence to make it big as an actress. It’s just a matter of finding time when she is not committed to her first love, music.”

That would be interesting enough to watch. I haven’t seen her “Gossip Girl” stint yet, but I’ve seen promos of her appearance, and it doesn’t look like she’s acting too much. Needless to say, it should be an interesting thing to see her in a movie based on her quirky ideas. I’d watch it.

Would you?

On the heels of the split rumors between the guys in Aerosmith, I guess there were some misguided rumors floating around that Joe Perry was canceling some tour dates for his new band, The Joe Perry Project.

Via his Twitter account, Joe dispensed with the cancellation rumors. He said:

Just got a call from Aaron saying bad rumors going around I am canceling the JPP tour totally NOT TRUE. This is a vicious rumor.

And there you have it. We still aren’t sure of the fate of Aerosmith, but Joe’s project is still on. Are you relieved?
