Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler made a surprise appearance on American Idol Thursday.
The rocker was a judge on the series for the past two seasons, after which he returned to the band full time last summer.
This time out, Steven was auditioning as a singer for the show…in drag.
He introduced himself/herself as Pepper LaBeija, after the famous drag queen featured in the 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning.
Tyler was decked out in a blonde wig, snakeskin miniskirt and fake breasts that honked when squeezed.
