Simon Covel
Paula Abdul
Steven Tyler
J LOSteven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are in the house! The pop diva and rocker officially join Randy Jackson at the American Idol judges' table for season 10 of Fox's hit reality series. Their hires, rumored for weeks, were announced today at the Forum in Inglewood.
So what does this mean for the new season of Idol?
Steven Tyler is the lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith, but he maybe better known to the younger folk as father to Liv Tyler, aka cute elf Arwen from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Jennifer Lopez, aka Jenny from the Block, aka J.Lo, is the consummate multihyphenate of our time. She sings, she acts, she dances, she does reality TV! Now married to Marc Anthony and the mom of twins, her own musical career has been slowing down of late (she recently parted ways with record company Sony Music Group).
Original judge Randy Jackson, who was best known as a bassist and A&R man before joining the ratings-ruling reality series, is returning for his 10th season with the show.
Two seats were open at the judges table this year. Original judges Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell left after seasons eight and nine, new judge Kara DioGuardi was released from service earlier this month after appearing in seasons eight and nine, and new judge Ellen DeGeneresresigned after just one season.
Do you approve of these new hires? Do you think they'll bring new life to American Idol or are they harbingers of shark-jumping?
