Some Entertainment News:

There’s an update on Steven Tyler‘s health. The Boston Globe is reporting he had a seizure backstage after a show in Brazil. They don’t know what caused it. Aerosmith has put their tour on hold so Tyler can get the treatment he needs.

Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson are having a rough time dealing with a confrontation between Ann’s husband and Nancy’s boys. Last year Ann’s husband was arrested for assaulting Nancy’s teenage sons. Nancy waxed poetic (Nice eh) about the situation when she said “The molecules of Heart may never amass once again, but it remains to be seen.” Wouldn’t it be funny if Ann used that as a lyric in an upcoming song. Anyway, Nancy is exploring music without Ann. She’s working with former New Power Generation singer Liv Warfield on something called Roadcase Royale. They already have an album out called “First Things First.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has revealed she has breast cancer. She’s currently starring in the series “Veep.’ ‘ she broke the news on social media yesterday saying. “The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring family and friends, and fantastic insurance through my union. The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so let’s fight all cancers and make universal health care a reality.”
