My Strange Addiction... MMMMM... Couch....


This is not an all-revealing admission column by JJ (relax mom) .... If you haven't seen TLC's new show My Strange Addiction, you're missing out on one of the most bizarre things on television. On the last episode, we met a woman who enjoys eating couch cushions. Hey, who doesn't, right? She started munching on furniture when she was 10 and has consumed seven couches and two chairs.


Just Push Record


At least three members of Aerosmith -- Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer -- were scheduled to be in Los Angeles on Saturday to start working with singer Steven Tyler on the band's next album. It is not known if guitarist Joe Perry participated. Before flying to L.A. from his home in the Boston suburbs, Tom Hamilton posted a video on AeroForceOne.com saying that they had a 10-day window to work on the new material. And last night, Joey Kramer wrote, "We're back," on Twitter. If successful, it will be Aerosmith's first album of original material since 2001's Just Push Play.
