From reportedly demanding naked women backstage in the ’80s, to insisting on no pressed meat on his tour rider, Steven Tyler knows a thing or two about being a rock star on and off-stage.
He’s letting the good times roll at American Idol, where he’s decorated his backstage digs – which he calls the Love Shack – in bright pink and silver.
Located on the CBS lot, near the Idol stage, Tyler’s seven-room bungalow houses a dressing room, hair and make-up room, an office, an extra office for his fiancée, Erin Brady, bedroom, kitchen, dining area and family room.
Though the Love Shack looks unassuming from the outside, inside are a crystal chandelier, a half-naked mannequin in a top hat next to a silver skull in the family room, and faux fur throw rugs on the floor.
Designed by Brady, the bungalow – down to the silver baroque loveseat and plush black tufted crocodile sleigh bed – is highlighted by custom furniture from Diva Rock Glam.
Tuned into the new season of American Idol? Neither are we! It seems, though, we’ve been missing out on some very LOL-worthy moments, courtesy of new judge Steven Tyler. At the start of last night’s show, producers of the talent series ran an apology for Tyler’s “outrageous behavior” on a previous broadcast.

The Aerosmith rocker danced himself into Hot Water with Idol bosses last week after he jokingly pointed out the similarities between the F-word and a contestant with the last name “Muck.”
“You know what Muck rhymes with, don’t you?” Tyler, 62, asked.
“Duck?” the crooner replied.
“Read my lips,” Steve countered, mouthing the Grand Puba of the seven words you’re not allowed to say on television.
“American Idol would like to apologize for last week’s outrageous behavior by Steven Tyler,” read the so-called “Black Apology,” which creeped across the screen just before the opening sequence. “Mr. Tyler has been warned and assures us it will never happen again.”
