Tyler Disses Kid Rock Over "Idol" Slam
At Sunday night's Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C., it was apparent that the feud between Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and Kid Rock over Tyler's "American Idol" judging gig shows no signs of letting up: Tyler ignored Kid Rock the entire evening, TooFab has learned.
A war of the words erupted in October, when Kid Rock told "Entertainment
Weekly" that Tyler's decision to join "Idol" as a judge is "the
stupidest thing he's ever done in his life." Tyler later told reporters
that Kid Rock was "jealous."
A source tells TooFab that Sunday's soiree "was the first time they had
seen each other since Kid Rock had dissed Steven for going on "American
Idol." But Steven didn't make his way across the room when he saw Kid
Rock."
Instead, says the source, "Steven hung out backstage with Paul McCartney, Alec Baldwin, Sheryl Crow and Dave Grohl, who were congratulating him on his tribute to [honoree] Paul McCartney."
As TooFab exclusively reported today, "American Idol" kicked off "Hollywood Week" Monday.

Steve Tyler is just jealous cause Kid Rock doesn't have to do a show like Idol cause he's still recording good music and selling albums, what has Steve Tyler produced lately and when was the last time he was a music chart seller? Tyler is a sell out from rock music.......

Both great talents and Tyler behaved like an adult of which I commend him for. Is it against the law to give your opinion? Maybe...when you're a rock star. It's not about who sold more records...it's about open your mouth and the tabloids jump in! So who cares!

The day Tyler is jealous of Kid Rock will NEVER come! The man has done literally everything that the rock n roll world has to offer. If he chooses to judge upcoming wannabe stars, he will. Ever think that maybe, just maybe after, oh I don't know, 40 years in Aerosmith, that he may want a break? Anyone that slams any of the elite rockers, being a new rocker that has only been around for a decade or so, just screwed their career, as far as I'm concerned.

hahahaha Some of you peeps are idiots. Kid Rock makes 12 mil in his spare time. If you read what Rock said You would see that he believes Steven is a Legend. He admires Tyler and thinks American Idol diminishes his rock status.
Kid Rock will most definitely make the RRHOF. And his Album s continue to be Billboard # 1. He is the Rockstar of this generation.
