Aerosmith's Steven Tyler To Join American Idol?

We're heard some interesting names tossed about as replacement judges on American Idol but a new name is in the mix today: Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler. Bryan Wawzenek at Gibson.com has the story:

Now that Ellen DeGeneres has officially bowed out of her judging duties on American Idol, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are rumored to join the show, according to RollingStone.com. The two music stars would be the fill-ins for DeGeneres and Simon Cowell, who helped make the show a success, but left Idol after its most recent season.

There is no official word from the Idol camp about the switch in lineups, although J.Lo seems to be a surer bet than the Aerosmith frontman. It is also being rumored that Kara DioGuardi is being forced off of the show to return the series to its original, three-judge format. All reports indicate that Randy Jackson is staying put.

Up to this point, many music and entertainment stars have been rumored as being new judges on the series. Chris Isaak, Bret Michaels, Justin Timberlake, Elton John and Jessica Simpson have been among the rumored contenders. It is expected that there will be some announcement from Fox regarding the new cast on Monday, August 2.
