Steven Tyler In Rehab After Foot Surgery

Steven Tyler, who reportedly entered rehab earlier this month, said a series of surgeries and post-operative physical therapy to correct foot injuries were the reasons he checked himself into a California facility, according to a statement issued yesterday (5/29). Tyler said the pain from the surgeries was greater than he had anticipated. "The months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy were traumatic," he said. "I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet."The statement made no reference to Tyler's history of alcohol and drug abuse, which he apparently has had under control for decades. However, it is common for sober addicts to relapse when medical conditions warrant repetitive use of pain medications. This may not be the case with Tyler, though the rehab facility in which he is seeking treatment is known for treating alcohol and drug abuse.Tyler, who said his foot injuries resulted from his trademark athletic performance on stage, expects a full recovery. "Make no mistake," he said in the statement, "Aerosmith [ tickets ] has no plans to stop rocking. There's a new album to record, then another tour."

Hugh Grant - Grant Hurley Win Cash Payout Over Holiday Snaps

Actor HUGH GRANT and his ex-girlfriend ELIZABETH HURLEY have won $116,000 (GBP58,000) in damages for invasion of privacy, after they were photographed on holiday in a private resort in the Maldives.

Grant, model Hurley and her businessman husband Arun Nayar filed suit against photo agencies Big Pictures (U.K.) Limited and Eliot Press SARL last year (07), when snaps of the trio on holiday were published in a number of British newspapers.

Laura Tyler, the lawyer representing Grant, Hurley and Nayar, appeared at London's High Court on Thursday morning (15May08), when she told Mr Justice Eady that the pictures had been taken covertly and without her clients' knowledge. She also argued that the claimants had chosen the resort because it offered them complete privacy and seclusion.

She told the court: "It has been most upsetting for the claimants to have their privacy invaded by these defendants."

The photos were later printed in the News of the World and The Mail on Sunday newspapers, as well as a number of celebrity magazines.

In addition to the cash for damages, the claimants will receive some money towards their legal costs from the two photo agencies, and agency bosses apologised for any distress their actions may have caused.

Further contributions will also be made by the News of the World's publisher News Group Newspapers, and Associated Newspapers, which prints The Mail on Sunday.
