Guns N’ Roses ex drummer, Steven Adler, who played for the band in the late 80’s, contributing to their ladder to fame, and later being fired for drug addiction, revealed why he did heroin in the first place.

“Who the hell do you think I was doing them with? When I started doing heroin, I wanted to be a part of what [G N’ R lead guitarist] Slash and [rhythm guitarist] Izzy [Stradlin] were doing,” he revealed in the third episode of Paramount+‘s new three-part docuseries Nöthin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of ’80s Hair Metal.

“I took two hits, I was never so sick in my whole life,” he said.

“And wouldn’t you know what an a—— I am, I had to try it one more time,” Adler continued. “And the third time was the charm. I fell in love with it.”

However, Adler’s addiction got him fired from the band, but this didn’t change anything for the musician.

“I’ve always loved the whole team thing,” he said. “That’s why putting a band together was so important to me, where we work together and create something.”

“And then when my team threw me out, I didn’t know what to do. I know I could either have gotten better, or continued doing what I was doing. I continued doing what I was doing. I was that hurt.”

Queen Latifah has recently teamed up with Will Smith to produce a biopic over her life and career.

“There’s no better story to start with than the one of Queen Latifah, an undisputed legend who has both entertained and inspired us for so many years,” added Smith.

Jesse Collins, Entertainment CEO, added, “Queen Latifah’s story is one of triumph that needs to be shared with the world. Joining forces with such amazing people to educate and inspire through storytelling is just the beginning of the impact this partnership will have.”

Blake Shelton has recently gushed over Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce’s relationship.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Pat McAfee Show on September 19, Blake responded to a question about believing in Taylor and Travis while picking up for ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday, September 21.

“I do, man,” confessed the country musician.

Blake “appreciates the fact that they’re both putting it out there in everybody’s face” and “not sneaking around or trying to hide their romance by keeping it on the down low”.

“I think when you’re willing to just come out and [say] that you’re together and you’re owning [the relationship, it shows their love is real],” said the singer.

Blake mentioned he and Gwen also did the same thing during the early days of his and wife’s relationship.

“Look I’m dating Gwen Stefani and I want the world to know that, you know what I mean,” explained the singer,

Blake noted, “The fact that they’re [doing that] shows they’re probably super into each other and proud of each other and their accomplishments.”

The God’s Country crooner believed that Travis is a “perfect match” for Taylor.

“I’ve been around Travis just once or twice and I don’t think he really has it in him to just … he’s a standout no matter where he is or what he’s doing,” declared the singer.

Blake remarked, “Travis has just got this big personality, he’s a funny guy, he walks into the room and he has a presence there.”

“So, there’s never going to be a moment when he’s in the shadows anyway just because of his charisma and his personality. He owns the moment, whatever that is. I love his personality,” added the musician.
