Steelers Running Back Loses Endorsement Over Tweets About Twin Towers, bin Laden's Death




Rashard Mendenhall, a running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, must be regretting the tweets he made in the wake of Osama bin Laden's death, which have cost him a lush endorsement deal with Champion, reports SportsNewser.com.Mendenhall's tweets criticized the public for celebrating Bin Laden's death and questioned whether planes could bring down the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, a reference to the 9/11 attacks.In a statement from Matt Hall, a spokesman for Champion athletic brand, published by USA Today, the company's stance was simply that Mendenhall "expressed personal comments and opinions regarding Osama bin Laden and the September 11 terrorist attacks that were inconsistent with the values of the Champion brand and with which we strongly disagreed."

Steven Tyler & Joe Perry Reconcile To Bring Aerosmith Back Together

Steven Tyler & Joe Perry Reconcile To Bring Aerosmith Back Together


American Idol judge Steven Tyler has made up with his Aerosmith bandmate Joe Perry so they can perform together for the final of ‘American Idol.’ The 63-year-old rock star – who sits on the judging panel of the talent show – got into strife with Joe in 2009 because he wanted to take a break and was told a new frontman might be found to take his place.


Now the pair have made amends so they can return to the spotlight and are exchanging emails containing ideas for new songs.


The ‘Walk This Way’ singer told Billboard magazine: “Well, I sent Joe a bunch of songs and he sent me a bunch of licks.”


“We’re getting together for my father’s birthday – he’ll be 95 – in May and I’m gonna have a band meeting at which time we’re gonna settle a lot of the tumult that’s been going on in the last year between lawyers and managers…  .  As John Lennon said, time for a new broom to sweep things clean, dahling!”
