Breaking News: Steven Tyler falls off stage

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was taken to the hospital early this morning after falling from the stage during a concert in South Dakota.

Tyler fell while entertaing the crowd by dancing around after the sound system failed during the song "Love In an Elevator." He was on the stage's catwalk, tottered backward and fell,. Security rushed to help him and the crowd cheered when Tyler got back up. Later, Tyler was taken backstage and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry came out to tell the audience that he was being taken to the hospital and that the show would not go on. We're looking for video of the incident and will keep you posted during the show this morning.

It's not too soon to start planning for the WRRV Boo Ball

The big "couple costume" this year is most likely to be Jon and Kate. Costume shops are already stocking up on the Kate wig... discretely called the "Eight Is Too Much". Now all you need is some spaced out looking guy to yell at all night and 8 dolls to drag around as props.

Paula Abdul "quits" American Idol

Paula Abdul announced yesterday (via Twitter) that she will be leaving American Idol. According to Fox, this was Abdul's decision... yeah right. Word is that Fox has been trying to get Paula off the show for the last two seasons. They realized that the novelty has worn off. Watching Paula high on pain pills trying to piece words together to praise every singer no matter how much they suck has become tiring. I'm speculating that they offered her a contract that was so terrible that she had to turn it down and then Fox never counter-offered and just said that Paula refused to sign for the next season.

Congratulations, Kara DioGuardi, on being the new Paula. Better practice your slurring now.
