I mentioned on Tuesday that Steven Tyler had confirmed last Saturday that he was going to be a judge on American Idol; yesterday, Joe Perry told the Boston Herald that it’s all “news” to him.
“I found out on the Internet like the rest of the world,” Perry said from the band’s tour stop in Dallas on Tuesday. “There was an Aerosmith afterparty at Studio 54 after the Vegas show - which none of us in the band knew anything about - and he said some stuff there. I mean, this is no small thing.”
Perry reportedly confronted Tyler about the Idol rumors in the dressing room Saturday night at the MGM Grand; Steven said he was advised not to discuss it.
“I mean, after working with me for 40 years, he couldn’t tell me about this,” said Joe. “Why so secretive? We’re told it’s a done deal. If Steven is committed to a TV show, that kind of affects the rest of us. We’d like to plan our lives, ya know?”
So, as the communication ‘cold war’ between Tyler and Perry continues, there’s been no confirmation of anything from the Idol folks; interesting that Tyler said "I'm doing it" and to hear Perry say “we’re told it’s a done deal,” though….
Stay tuned….
