DALLAS COWBOYS TRAINING CAMP
This week, I spent several days at the Dallas Cowboys Training Camp in Oxnard, CA. I have and will continue to report news from my time there and you can find those articles, videos and posts by clicking here.

However, I am a fan first, a reporter, a far second.

So, here is my experience at Camp as a fan, best told through pictures. All photos copyrighted by CelebMagnet

Steven Tyler Falls Off Of Stage Again–This Time, Toronto [Video]

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

  Why does this keep happening? Why does Steven Tyler keep falling off of the stage while performing?

I almost died laughing seeing Tyler getting hip-butted by Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, and landing head-first into the crowd. It’s only funny to me because Tyler was OK, got right back on stage, yelled, “It ain’t gonna happen again, baby,” and kept rocking the crowd in Toronto.

But, Tyler can’t keep avoiding death this way. I hope American Idol hires him soon. THAT WAY, Tyler can still enjoy his time on stage, but instead of risking his life, he will just sit and avoid any more accidents or injuries.

See the video below for the latest fall.

Here is Tyler falling off of the stage last August in Sturgis, South Dakota, ironically during the same song (Love in an Elevator):

Madonna Sued For Deceptive Use Of “Material Girl” Trademark

Remember when I reported in June that Madonna and her daughter Lourdes had created a new fashion line together for Macy’s called Material Girl? Didn’t that sound like the cutest thing ever?

Well, it’s not so cute anymore. Not since L.A. Triumph, Inc. filed suit against Madonna claiming Madonna’s “Material Girl” line infringes on L.A. Triumph’s “Material Girl” clothing line which was established in 1997.

According to TMZ, L.A. Triumph wants a declaration from a federal judge that Madonna’s use of “Material Girl” creates “deception” in the marketplace and wants the judge to order Madonna and her company to turn over all of the profits they’ve made from their clothing line.

This just sounds crazy to me. I have never heard of LA Triumph or the clothing line Material Girl associated with anyone other than Madonna. Madonna is the “Material Girl.” But if this is true, was Madonna’s lawyer asleep at the wheel? How hard was it to do a trademark search before launching Madonna’s clothing line? This sounds fishy to me. I can’t wait to see how this one unfolds.
