When Should Stars Stop Partying?

Steven Tyler's Aerosmith bandmates are worried about the frontman's erratic behavior.

"He's got some bad influences in his life right now and he's making poor choices," drummer Joey Kramer told People. Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford added, "His behavior is spinning out of control."

How do you tell a 61-year-old man to grow up? Tyler's condition isn't really anything new. The music world and Hollywood are full of aging lads who don't know when to take off the party pants. PopEater takes a look at a generation of celebs who should let the party bus leave the station without them.

David Hasselhoff

The Hoff, 57, loves his liquor. His daughter caught him shirtless, chowing down on a hamburger and drunk as a skunk in 2007. It would have been just another night for the Hasselhoffs except that the tape made its way to the Internet. David Hasselhoff admitted a relapse and said he was working on his recovery but Hoff was reportedly tipsy again at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Berlin earlier this month, grabbing onto a wall for support and slurring his words onstage as he presented the Best Rock Award to Green Day.

Keith Richards

Rolling Stone Keith Richards, 65, reportedly got so drunk on the set of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in 2006 that the director had to prop him up. "If you wanted straight, then you got the wrong man," Richards said. Earlier that year Richards experienced a concussion after falling from a palm tree in Fiji.

Mel Gibson

Since Mel Gibson, 53, went on his drunken anti-Semitic tirade when he was pulled over for driving while intoxicated in 2006, he has managed to keep his party in his pants. But every once in awhile Mel hits the gossip pages for having one too many at Nobu in Malibu. Thankfully he has stayed away from the wheel.

Kiefer Sutherland

Jack Bauer allegedly racked up a $700 bar tab with the "24" crew in San Pedro, CA earlier this month, before 1pm! But that's nothing compared to whenKiefer Sutherland, 42, ties one on with his band, in sessions that have included break-dancing and head-butting and one instance of one-on-one combat with a Christmas tree.

Nick Nolte

Nick Nolte, 68, has one of the most famous celebrity drunk driving mug shots of all time, probably because he looks like a cross between a hobo and the Big Kahuna. Nolte may not party more than the rest of us but unfortunately has always seems to get stuck talking to reporter-folk after he's had a few too many beverages.

John Mayer- 'I'm Not Exactly Bob Dylan'

John Mayer opens up to Details about his music and why people hate him.

The singer-songwriter and guitarist -- who has famously dated many of Hollywood's most beautiful women including Jennifer Aniston, Heidi Klum, Minka Kelly and more -- defends making pop music.

"I don't know if you know, but I'm not exactlyBob Dylan -- I'm already a pop musician...I want to reach as many people as possible...I don't mind compromising," he says.

He doesn't worry about the haters: "What if I had a booth on the street and I said, 'Attention everybody who hates me: If you have a problem with me, I'm ready to hear your gripes! I will be outside the Barneys store on 60th Street from two to four this afternoon...I will only be speaking to people who do not like me. Come out and let me have it.' How many people do you think would be standing there?...Ze-ro."

Liam Gallagher vs oasis

Liam Gallagher says his songs with his new band are better than Oasis.

The 37-year-old singer has been working with every member of Oasis, except brother Noel who quit the group in August, on fresh material and plans to have an album out by July.

He told MTV Italy: "We've been demoing some songs that we've had about, that we've had for a while. Just doing that, on the quiet, not making a big fuss about it.

"After Christmas we might go in the studio and record them and hopefully have an album out in July.

"We'll do it in a different kind of way now. I'll try and reconnect with a new band, new songs, and I'm feeling confident about the songs.

"I'm feeling a million per cent confident that they could be better than Oasis."

The band broke-up last summer after Liam's older brother Noel quit following a backstage fight before a concert in Paris, France, which saw them smash up each other's guitars.

However, Liam believes his guitarist sibling used the fight as an excuse to leave so he could work on his own solo project.

He explained in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Deejay: "To be quite honest, I think Noel wanted out.

"We had an argument - but we've had bigger ones, about more important people. Basically, I think he wanted out, wanted something different, but he hadn't got the b******s to tell the band or the fans."

Voila! The eponymous debut album from Glasgow’s finest hillbilly rockers Cuddly Shark. Recorded by Scott Maple (Le Reno Amps) and Ross McGowan (Dananananaykroyd, We Are the Physics), Cuddly Shark encapsulates the band’s purist plug in and play ethos with a touch of ice cold rock’n’roll. Idiosyncratic lyricism and odd anti-melodies combined with foot down pedal-to-the-metal performances prove deadly in this trios hands.

Cuddly Shark were born and bred in the bonnie highlands of Scotland. Two thirds masculine and one third feminine, the band consists of Colin Reid on guitar and vocals, Ruth Forsyth on bass guitar and vocals, and Jason Sinclair on drums and vocals. Magnetically drawn to the rain-soaked musical hotspot that is Glasgow things have been going swimmingly for the sharp-toothed threesome.

Rock solid with the minimum of fuss, Cuddly Shark songs are anarchic and free spirited. From the opening thrash of 'Bowl of Cherries’, by all accounts a sonic fit of standing on your toes and singing right in your face, to the Pixies like donkey kick of 'Woody Woodpecker’, an ode to all those people that peck at your head until you can’t take it anymore. Proving they have more hooks than a tackle box the furious delivery and pace of 'The Punisher of IV30’, referring to the Elgin post-code where the band members grew up, befits the contradictory nature of the band name as this lot can bark like a nutcase at a bus stop. Listen on and it’s clear linear songwriting isn’t on the menu with the dog-on-the-prowl nuttiness of 'Mannybix’, and the epic 52 second ode to self-indulgence, 'Jamie Foxx on Later With Jools Holland’.

Flexing their musical pecks the album centres around the downbeat travelling tune 'Whiteoaks’, and the hillbilly punk of 70’s country standard 'Boney Fingers’. Jason from the band enthuses, 'How could we not cover this song when we found out it was by a guy called Hoyt Axeton, what kind of a name is Hoyt!?! Then to find out he was the dad in Gremlins I mean how cool can you get, the tunes nae bad either!'

Elsewhere the record boasts fat slabs of post punk grit with feverish rockers, 'What Goes Around’, the Zeppelin baiting latest single, 'The Sheriff of Aspen Bay’, and the crunching riffage of '12 Months’, where a year spent involuntary abstaining from sexual relations has never sounded so brutally demonic! The album draws to a close with the glorious 'Instru-Mentalist’ and the Caledonian stomp of 'Shakey Baby’ which wages war on political correctness with the shameless sing-along jaunt, 'see the lady with the baby, grab the baby, hold the baby, shake the baby, jelly baby, got me a syndrome!'.

Brimming with punk attitude and spilling over with melodic brilliance Cuddly Shark will never have an ounce of pretentious hip fat on them. Their live shows have seen comparisons made to Husker Du, Minor Threat, Ween, Fugazi and Weezer. Yet Cuddly Shark are unmistakably their own entity, a blistering romp of rock’n’roll carnage firing as loud as they can from a post-rock cannon.
