The Inside Scoop on Justin Timberlake, Aerosmith and More

How dope was the World Cup? The Smoking Section caught the finals at a pro-Italy underground coffee shop in Amsterdam. It was fun. We were in Europe because Justin Timberlake is back...
The next day we jetted up to heaven (Amsterdam), where the S.S. strolled into the Tweede Kamer...
Upon our return, the Smoking Section was stoked to get a call from Steven Tyler, now in the clear after undergoing treatment to cauterize a broken blood vessel in his throat. "At least I got the insurance money," he says. During his doctor-imposed bout of silence, Tyler plotted the future of Aerosmith, which he revealed only to the S.S. First, the band's been writing a new album, and then there's the Route of All Evil Tour, kicking off in September with Mötley Crüe. (Years ago, certain Aero and Crüe members met in rehab clinics.) But this is what's really making Tyler lick his lips: Inspired by a July 4th performance backed by the Boston Pops, he says, "My goal is to take songs like 'Home Tonight,' 'Dream On' and a shitload of the good ones and go out with a fifty-piece orchestra." Also, "I want to do a string of shows at Madison Square Garden where the first night we do Toys in the Attic and Rocks, in order, the second night Pump and Aerosmith, etc." And look out for Tyler on TV's Two and a Half Men, where he'll play an annoying neighbor who rocks out all night and all day...
