Aerosmith's Steven Tyler to testify on Hawaii celebrity privacy

HONOLULU (AP) - Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler plans to attend a legislative hearing in Hawaii on a bill named for him that would limit unwanted celebrity photos and video.

A publicist for the former American Idol judge told The Associated Press on Thursday that Tyler has submitted written testimony supporting a plan that would give celebrities power to sue people who photograph them in an offensive way during their private lives.

Hawaii's Senate judiciary committee plans to consider the so-called Steven Tyler Act on Friday morning.

Senator Kalani English from Maui says he introduced the bill at Tyler's request. Tyler owns a multimillion-dollar home in Maui.
