Tallerico v. Doe, No. BC398715 (Cal. Super., Los Angeles County filed Sept. 24, 2008).

Status: Pending.

The lead singer of the rock group Aerosmith, Steven Tyler – whose real name is Steven Tallarico – sued the anonymous authors of two fake blogs, that were removed from the blogspot.com website at Tyler’s request. One of the blogs, tylers849021.blogspot.com, purported to be written by Tyler himself, while the other, shelikespurple.blogspot.com, purported to be written by his girlfriend. In January 2009, the clerk filed papers that the plaintiff had failed to file proof of service of the suit.
