Aerosmith's Steven Tyler suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries in a tumble from the stage at a South Dakota show, a concert spokesman said yesterday, and the audience thought it was part of his hip-shaking act until he didn't get up.

Tyler, 61, fell while entertaining the crowd by dancing around as the sound crew replaced a fuse that blew during the song "Love in an Elevator," said a spokesman for the Buffalo Chip Campground, which hosted Wednesday's concert. He said the frontman was airlifted to a hospital.

The band has postponed a concert set for today in Winnipeg. The band had to postpone seven July shows after Tyler hurt his leg at a concert in Uncasville, Conn.

PAULA ABDUL SAYS OFFERS POURING IN

Paula Abdul says she needs to take a deep breath before moving on to a new job.

Abdul, leaving "American Idol" after eight seasons, says that "many wonderful things" are being offered to her.

Abdul called The Associated Press last night while at a taping of her guest spot on Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva."

Nigel Lythgoe, an executive producer and judge on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," has expressed interest in an Abdul cameo there. Abdul doesn't rule that out.

DOUGLAS' SON CHARGED WITH DEALING METH

Michael Douglas' son traveled coast to coast dealing methamphetamine before his arrest last month at a trendy Manhattan hotel, according to a federal complaint made public yesterday.

The filing in a New York court alleges that Cameron Douglas, the 30-year-old son of the Oscar winner, got tens of thousands of dollars from trafficking the drug — using the code words "pastry" or "bath salts" — since 2006. Cash and drugs were routinely exchanged through shippers like FedEx, the court was told.

ACTION-MOVIE DIRECTOR RUSHES TO RESCUE

When the director of "The Bourne Identity" saw a cargo ship slam into a speedboat on the Hudson River, he jumped into action.

Hollywood director Doug Liman and producer Avram Ludwig were on their sailboat on the New York river around 1 a.m. Wednesday when they saw a black cargo ship and a speedboat on a collision course. The ship crashed into the smaller boat and kept going. Liman and Ludwig said they found four people screaming for help, and that it was a "miracle" anyone survived. They rescued three; the Coast Guard pulled out the other.
