PLAYBOY star mother is set to shock the rock world to its core with the release of her autobiography. BEBE BUELL's REBEL HEART: AN AMERICAN ROCK AND ROLL JOURNEY will detail the stunning ex-model's journeys in the heart of rock'n'roll, as well as her relationship with Liv's AEROSMITH rocker dad STEVE TYLER.

Bebe Buell, Mother of Liv, was educated in traditional parochial schools. But her real love was music, and especially Rock 'n' Roll. She was fan of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones ... and Steven Tyler.

Liv Tyler seemed destined to be a star. As the love child of Steven Tyler (the lead singer of Aerosmith) and former top model Bebe Buell, Liv had the pedigree to be in the spotlight. What she would do it with it was up to her, but a wise decision in 1994 to appear in Aerosmith's video for "Crazy", alongside Alicia Silverstone set the wheels of fame in motion.

What followed was a series of forgettable movies (i.e. Empire Records with Renee Zellweger, some great movies (Stealing Beauty), and some make-me-famous movies (i.e. Armageddon with Bruce Willis)With the help of her incredible looks, her celeb parents, and her famous boyfriends (her longest ex squeeze was Joaquin Phoenix), Liv guaranteed herself a place in the minds of gossip hungry THE readers.

Finally in 1996, Liv landed the lead role of Lucy in Bernardo Bertolucci's exquisite film about a teen in search of finding her father and losing her virginity, Stealing Beauty.

Although the film was not a moneymaker, it did raise eyebrows in film circles, especially the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.

Her future plans include appearing in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the comedy One Night at McCool's with Michael Douglas.But family friend Paulina Porizkova saw the beauty in Liv (as does everyone today), and encouraged her to start modeling. Indeed Liv did, and soon appeared in magazines such as Seventeen, YM and Mirabella.

Liv will be keeping rock 'n' roll in the family and will now be a rocker wife, after her Valentine's Day 2001 engagement to Royston Langdon, Spacehog's lead singer and bass player, and her steady of 3 years.

THE Catalyst tried out the Lavender Leather Wrist Cuffs as we fancied experimenting with some light bondage for a bit of fun! We used them with the interchangeable ankle cuffs. They're made of very soft and supple leather which was comfortable to wear, and once you've worked out how to link the cuffs together with the straps and buckles, they were easily adjustable. My partner had great fun creating his little fantasies whilst smothering me with lubricant and massaging various sensitive parts of me with a vibrator!
