IF TWEETED SNARLS from Aerosmith's Joe Perry prove to be true, it sounds like singer Steven Tyler has fallen off the stage again — this time in a more figurative sense.

Says Perry:

Aerosmith is definetly NOT breaking up. One of the members is doing his own thing and said so in the press. That's all I know. ... Inthe meantime aerosmith is positivly looking for a new singer to work with. You just can't take 40 years of expiriance and throwitinthebin!

So who should that singer be? Here are a few quickie auditions, courtesy of YouTube:

SHAKIRA
Pluses: Established act; powerful voice; considerably hotter than Steven Tyler
Minuses: Considerably hotter an act than Aerosmith

KELLY SWEET
Pluses: Precise pipes; again with the attractiveness
Minuses: Aerosmith fans aren't really the contemplative-walk-on-the-beach types

DANNY GOKEY of "American Idol" fame (accompanied above by Keyboard Cat)
Pluses: He has nice glasses
Minuses: The singing. Or whatever you call that guttural noise he's making.

THIS GUY
Pluses: Cost savings on wardrobe -- he'll bring his own!
Minuses: Whatever science created him might be dangerous
