Steven Tyler has checked into a rehab facility to treat an addiction to painkillers stemming from over 10 years of performance injuries. It seemed as if it was only a matter of time before this news came to light. The Aerosmith frontman fell off the stage during a performance this summer bringing the band’s  tour to a halt and sparking major drama. Tyler distanced himself from his bandmates... 

Alicia Keys teamed up with Stephen Colbert last night when she appeared on “The Colbert Report” to promote her new album, The Element of Freedom. Keys performed ”Empire State of Mind” while Colbert laid it down, begging the question, Jay-Z who? Check it out! Alicia Keys teamed up with Stephen Colbert last night when she appeared on “The Colbert Report”... 

As a follow up to my Lil Wayne post yesterday, Christmas came early for about 500 Amazon customers who received the rapper’s six-time delayed album Rebirth by accident this week. Amazon.com shipped out hundreds of copies to fans who preordered the album. Wayne’s album was recently pushed back from a Dec. 21 release date to Feb. 1, one week before he receives sentencing for gun charges.... 

  Lil Wayne has been experiencing a literal rebirth as his album of the same name once again gets delayed. Tracks have been continuously leaking and Weezy has got us all guessing which ones will make it on the highly-anticipated album and which ones will be dropped. Fingers crossed that  he doesn’t axe “Drop the World,” featuring Eminem. The song is pure intensity with... 

  If you’re Lady Gaga, you  wear a Victorian/leather-inspired creation. At least she covered up and isn’t wearing a unitard, bubbles or Kermit the Frog smock. Same can’t be said for Miley Cyrus, who’s just being Miley in this dress:  It’s not the worst thing she’s ever worn, but she is a 17-year-old meeting the Queen. Maybe Miley wanted her to catch a glimpse... 

  One-hit wonders–the most dreaded title musicians aim to avoid. Unfortunately, it’s inevitable that a number of over-played songs on the radio today, will be condemned to that damning category. As we close out on the first decade of the new millennium, Billboardhas compiled a list of the top one-hit wonders from the last 10 years. The rankings are based on how high their first hit... 

  Alexa Ray Joel, the 23-year-old daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley, was hospitalized Saturday afternoon after swallowing eight herbal medicine pills.

Her doctors are assessing her needs and that’s all we can say at this moment,” said a rep... 

The stage has been set for music’s biggest night and the competition is stiff. Unfortunately, we had to sit through a schizophrenic telecast  of  obscure performances (Nick Jonas and the Administration? Really?) and technical gaffs to receive the nominations. Beyonce leads the pack with 10 nominations while Taylor Swift trails her with 8. The Black Eyed Peas and Kanye West receive 6 nods each,... 

  If you sat through the three hour-long telecast of the American Music Awards last night just to see Adam Lambert’s bondage performance, it might have left you scared and scarred or both. Lambert’s performance wasn’t the only one that gave us something to talk about--Lady Gaga was another, but we’ll get to her in a minute. Non-performance moments also got us talking. Taylor... 

A tour bus hired for Miley Cyrus overturned today in Virginia, killing the driver. William G. Douglas, 53, died at the scene after the bus ran off the road and turned on its side. Cyrus, who is currently touring, was not on board. The nine other members climbed out through the windshield and were unharmed. The Cyrus family released a statement on Miley’s official Web site. “We are deeply...
