Aerosmith's 60-year-old lead singer Steven Tyler not only knows what the Internet is, but he's also suing a group of unknowns for impersonating him and his girlfriend on two separate blogs.
In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. Superior Court, Steven claims some cyber-wannabes have been using his identity, as well as his girlfriend's, since 2007. In the suit, Tyler claims the impersonators have posted "pictures ... intimate details about [his] private life, including [Tyler's] relationship with his girlfriend, his children and his mother." Tyler says the stuff the bloggers wrote about his mom especially pisses him off because she recently passed away.
Google removed the sites in December of 2007 after Steven raised hell -- but shockingly, they reappeared on the web anyway.

www is the new frontier...anyone...anywhere...anytime...sounds like a inside job...good luck with your lawsuit !!!
This isn't like a livejournal/Must Be Pop kind of blog is it? Because that's just role play and that would suck to be sued over.
WHO CARES! So here's a better question: should Obama show up to the debate alone if McCain doesn't go? Sort of an empty chair debate? I say YES!
Kick some cyber ass Mr. Tyler.....Can't wait for the new cd in the spring and tour!!!!
good for him...would anybody else want someone impersonating him/her on the net???
"Talarico", Really....... not much of a Rock Star name. He still kicks ass!!!!
Just saying........................
To all the people who just can't help but interject politics into every thread, i am sure there are many political blogs you can go to. Please leave this sight to the people who are looking for some entertainment. This is a great blog to escape the daily grind, please try to control yourself with the Obama/McCain comments.
You mean to tell me his real name is'nt Steven Tyler? What the hell, What about Liv? Is she a Tyler?. You know its not nice to mess with our senior citizens. Steve what ever your name is..... you go old dude!
um...Google does not have the authority to take a site off of the web. they can make sure you won't find it using the Google search engine. but contrary to apparent popular belief, there are other search engines out there. and if you already know the address to the site in question, you can still get there by typing it into your browser. i don't think the site "reappeared" so much as it was never taken down in the first place. i would think that people who run a news WEBSITE would know something like that.
Google is not the God of the Internet.
His girlfriend?? Isn't he a little old for that sort of thing??
