Music News Review: Audition for Aerosmith, Boycott Slash | Music Vixen BlogTyler Rejoins Aerosmith, For Now. Who Should Replace Him?
Published November 11th, 2009 by Karen
Although guitarist Joe Perry recently told the world that singer Steven Tyler had quit Aerosmith after 40 years, Tyler seems to disagree.
We’re not sure whether to be happy the band didn’t split up, or sad because they probably should’ve retired sooner.
Regardless of the group’s current state, it’s obvious that relations are strained within the band; Perry claims he and Tyler haven’t written a song together in a decade because Tyler prefers to hire hacks to write cheesy American Idol-worthy hits and power ballads.
So, maybe the band should have some new singers on tap replace Tyler if he eventually quits or falls off of another stage or something.
To be honest, we’re almost bummed that Tyler is sticking around, because we were really, really hoping his departure would inspire CBS to roll out Rock Star: Aerosmith as a follow-up to Rock Star: INXS and Rock Star: Supernova. We’re sure host Dave Navarro (Jane’s Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers) is ready to go!
However, just in case there’s no Rock Star: Aerosmith in the works, we’ve put together some suggestions for singers who could replace Steven (and videos of several of them actually performing with Aerosmith!).
Take a look, then feel free to add more suggestions to our list! Continue reading »

Interview: Rihanna Reveals Details of Assault
Published November 3rd, 2009 by Karen
In the months since his attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna in February, Chris Brown has made numerous appearances attempting to vaguely apologize, elicit sympathy and make money.
(Read: Chris Brown Returns to Stage After Attack)
However, the person the world is most curious to hear from in this case, Rihanna, has remained silent on the matter—until now.
ABC is set to air an interview with the 21-year-old singer wherein she will speak about Brown’s violent attack on her for the first time.
We have to say, in the preview video clip provided by ABC, the news anchors promoting the interview seem ghoulishly interested in the details of the beating. The bloodthirsty pair repeatedly emphasizes that Rihanna is supposed to Continue reading »
