Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, 60, has checked himself into Las Encinas Hospital drug rehabilitation clinic -- the place Dr. Drew practices -- in Pasadena, Calif.
It's the same facility where the reality show "Celebrity Rehab" was filmed. Tyler is getting treatment for substance abuse.
Tyler's reps had no comment.

211. Hmmmm....some people here do seem to know what they're talking about. Erin Brady did have plastic surgery, new boobs and new nose, but hey, not that there's anything wrong with it. Didn't make her any prettier, though. Not sure she's good for him. OK, pretty sure she's not.
Steven has issues, he is who he is, and everything he has done and accomplished is because of that. He has for the past couple of years seemed sad and tired. I hope he finds his mojo again somehow. But you have to face your issues because they go with you everywhere you go, no matter how far or how fast.

212. I'm an avid Aerosmith fan and according to Aeroforceone, Aerosmith's official site:
"STEVEN TYLER checked himself into a rehab facility earlier this month after a series of surgeries and post-operative physical therapy (to correct long-time foot injuries resulting from his trademark athletic performance onstage).
“The doctors told me the pain in my feet could be corrected but it would require a few surgeries over time,” Tyler says. “The ‘foot repair’ pain was intense, greater than I'd anticipated. The months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy were traumatic. I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet. Make no mistake, AEROSMITH has no plans to stop rocking. There’s a new album to record, then another tour.”"
And NO he did NOT leave Aerosmith.
