Bandmates Believe Steven Tyler Has Relapsed; Is Abusing Drugs Again

At the same time that Steven Tyler has decided to take a break from the band Aerosmith, his bandmates are expressing concerns over the aging rocker's well-being. Specifically, they believe that he may again be abusing illegal drugs.

Drummer Joey Kramer said:

"I think that he needs help and that attention needs to be put to his health."

And by that Kramer isn't referring to the broken shoulder that Tyler suffered in August when he fell off a stage during a concert.

Tyler has battled an addiction to drugs in the past. Just last year in May 2008, Tyler checked himself into rehab. At the time, his turbulent relationship with his girlfriend was said to be part of the reason. She was quite the party girl and their relationship was on-again-off-again for more than two years. Others, however, suggested at the time that his relapse might also be connected to Tyler's various health issues in recent years, leading to a dependence on pain killers.

Back in May 2008, one of his friends commented:

Miley Cyrus Tour Bus Overturns, Kills One

A tour bus carrying the lighting crew for Miley Cyrus flipped over early Friday morning on a rain-slicked Virginia highway. One person was killed in the tragic accident.

Cyrus was not aboard the bus when it overturned at 8:15am on Interstate 85. The lone fatality was the bus driver, and one of the nine people on the bus also suffered minor injuries.

The bus ended up lying on its side on a grassy slope just off the highway. The bus was a part of a four vehicle caravan associated with Miley's on-going tour.

Miley is due to next perform on Sunday in Greensboro, NC.

La Toya: Michael Jackson's Son Inherited His Skin Disorder

While the paternity of Michael Jackson's children will probably always be questioned until DNA testing proves definitively that the king of pop is indeed their biological father, Michael's sister says he is the father, and that his son has even inherited his rare skin condition. La Toya Jackson says that his eldest son, Prince Michael, 12, has his father's skin condition.

Jackson was said to have suffered from vitiligo, a condition that causes depigmentation in patches of skin. This was the explanation given for his drastic change in skin tone over the years - from brown to pale white.

La Toya says:

"Vitiligo is on my father's side and Prince has it, too - on his arms and chest."

Clint Eastwood Named a Man of the Year by GQ

Named one of GQ's men of the year, Clint Eastwood joins Barack Obama, Tom Brady, Chris Pine, and three stars of "The Hangover" on five special covers for the December issue, which hits newsstands today. In an interview with the magazine, Eastwood talks politics, love religion, diet and women.

Eastwood's new movie, "Invictus", is the true story of Nelson Mandela and the mostly white South African rugby team that helped bring the country out of apartheid. Speaking of his latest film, Eastwood said:

"The world needs this kind of story nowadays. It's just...everybody's so screwed up. It seems like our country's in a kind of morbid mood, because of the recession or whatever. We're becoming juvenile as a nation. The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.

At 79-years-old, Eastwood says he meditates twice a day, avoids saturated fats and does 30 minutes on the ellipitcal machine each morning. He also notes that he used to "find meaning" in chasing girls, but says he is now happily monogamous:

"I never thought I'd get there, but I did. It feels good."

Money Talks: Johnny Depp Agrees to Fourth "Pirates" Movie for $35 Million

Johnny Depp has now officially risen to the rank of Hollywood's highest paid actor, having finalized an agreement to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow for a guaranteed minimum of $35 million. If the fourth installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series - "On Stranger Tides" proves to be a box office hit, his earnings will be even more. The deal places Depp above other high-earning actors such as Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson, who all command high salaries, but less than Depp's $35 million.

Disney has agreed to the record pay out because other high-profile actors from the franchise including Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom have decided not to return for the next film. Geoffrey Rush will also be returning as Captain Barbossa, and Penelope Cruz is rumored to be lined up for the female lead, although this has not yet been confirmed.

A source also reveals that, "This movie will feature flashbacks to Jack's early life."

Leaked "Sex and the City 2" Script Reveals Financial Ruin for Carrie Bradshaw

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth claims to have gotten ahold of a leaked script for "Sexy and the City 2". From the sounds of it, SATC 2 will not be a fanciful escape from the stresses of modern living and the economic melt down. Instead - according to the paper - these things will play out on the big screen and touch the lives of our beloved SATC characters.

Here is an overview of what the paper claims will happen (spoiler alert):

  • The situation looks bleak for Bradshaw, whose marriage with Mr. Big unravels after they lose everything in a financial scam.
  • Seeking work, Mr. Big ends up in London, where he’s living in a rundown apartment, but cheats on Carrie — who dumps him before finding out she’s pregnant.
  • At least she has a wedding to look forward to: Stanford Blatch, her gay best friend, will marry Anthony Marantino, one of Stanford’s former enemies. Performing at the reception is Liza Minnelli, who sings a cover of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies.”
  • Samantha, also hit hard by the financial scam, has to downgrade her glam lifestyle but can at least take comfort in the arms of Smith Jerrod, the ex she broke up with at the end of the previous movie.
