Deanna traces Steven’s life from the cradle to his ultimate rocker destiny. She relives her son’s life in the world of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. The name of the book will be Sweet Child Of Mine. HarperCollins is tentatively scheduled to release Sweet Child Of Mine in May/June 2011. (Ultimate Guitar).

Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose has been accused of treating a 2006 Bentley Flying Spur like one of his hotel rooms. In a lawsuit filed by Bentley Financial Services, the company claims Rose returned a leased vehicle after skirting payments, blowing past the mileage limits and seriously damaging the $192,000 vehicle. The suit, filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, says Rose leased the car in 2005, then failed to make $73,976.42 in payments. When he finally returned the car several months past the lease's expiration, it had: a cracked windshield, two damaged tires, broken glass on the rear tail light, two dented doors and a gouged bumper. To top it off, he was 42,397 miles over the lease's mileage limit and turned the vehicle in with a mismatched spare key and a broken remote key, valued at $91, which is chump change compared to the rest of what he owes (Body Shop Business).
