Steven Tyler Makes First Ever Visit to the Playboy Mansion
Aerosmith frontman praises Hugh Hefner, talks new album

Steven Tyler walked up the driveway to the entrance of the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles like it was a second home. Surrounded by a large entourage as he was led to the red carpet, Tyler stopped to bare a Cheshire Cat's grin as he looked at the four lovely Playboy Bunnies waiting to pose for pictures with him. The rock star and the equally iconic home that has hosted thousands of parties seemed made for each other, but this was Tyler's first visit ever to the Holmby Hills grounds.

How was that possible that in all the years of Aerosmith's success, the frontman had never been to one of the famous Halloween parties or a Midsummer Night's Dream? "I was too busy in someone’s bathroom getting high," Tyler told Rolling Stone. "I was too busy on tour, I was too busy writing songs. We were just busy."

While he had never been to the house that Hef built, Tyler has crossed paths with the famed Lothario, Hugh Hefner. And Tyler is a big fan. "I love people that are committed to their crimes of passion and he is the gentleman of all time," Tyler told us. "He’s been on every man’s mind around the world at least a hundred times in their lifetime for what he did. So he signifies the joys of womanhood and not the degradation . . . and even women love Playboy."

What finally brought Tyler to the mansion after more than 40 years in the spotlight was Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, a program that allows people to live out their rock & roll dreams and spend four intense days training with counselors to play with Tyler or other superstars, such as Kiss' Gene Simmons, who will be the headliner at an upcoming event in Las Vegas from October 10th through 14th.

1. Well, certainly the joys of USING women.

Whether or not the women got anything out of it was largely irrelevant.

[eridani]

2. The joys of womanhood?

Does that mean that the women in the photo are qualified to discourse on how it feels to be kicked in the balls by a horse? How about this? Men lay off of explaining womenhood to women, and women should then refrain from explaining mahnood to men.

[-..__...]

3. Anyone who belives any young (or old), male aspiring to be a rock star...

was never about the female fans and benefits... is either deluded or a prog rock fan.

[sweetloukillbot]

4. The prog rock fans are deluded as well...

I've seen the middle-age women throwing themselves at Jon Anderson at a Yes show. And Chris Squire and Rick Wakeman certainly lived the rock and roll lifestyle.

[-..__...]

7. Yes (no pun intended),...

but they were more than likely seeking an autograph or photo-op.

Backstage blow-jobs and "pulling a train" is where the real pay-off is.

Jon Anderson, Chris Squire and Rick Wakeman?

Rank amateurs.

Try Nikki Six, Robert Plant, Axel Rose or Bon Scott for legendary.

5. The joys of womanhood - while at The Playboy Mansion. Classy.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Jesus, what a ghastly looking human being.

A that's not said because he's surrounded by four tomatos.

[Curmudgeoness]

8. OK, Stevie, tell the women who will never see the inside of

the Playboy mansion all about the "joys of womanhood". We are not all beautiful with great bodies who can make lots of money romping around.....so tell the rest of us about those joys. We are waiting with bated breath for your words on this.

9. This 28 y/o asshole sat and used cocaine at his 17 y/o 'ward's hospital bedside waiting for

her to abort the fetus she'd wanted to keep. Shortly after, he kindly returned her to her parents. WTF would he know of the joys of womanhood?

[Kath1]

10. Absolutely right!

At age 53, I remember some great times of partying and listening to Aerosmith but that was then and this is now. If what you say is true, and I don't doubt it at all, he is one miserable excuse for a human being. Nugent is another one I have grown to absolutely detest. It almost sickens me that I helped make these jerks rich.

[polly7]

11. I know, and it makes me angry too because I really loved my Aerosmith music.

Nugent, I've never been able to listen to. I know people make terrible mistakes every day, but for Tyler to speak up on the joys of womanhood when he's still leering at 14 y/o's on American Idol ... he's just sick.

[HiPointDem]

12. ain't it the truth. "sickens me that I helped make these jerks rich."
