Tags: american idol, fox, j-lo, jennifer lopez, randy jackson, ryan seacrest, simon cowell, steven tylerToday On Air with Kenny Jones – we spoke about the “official” new judges on American Idol. Wait for it…Wait for it…
Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler will join Randy Jackson as “American Idol” judges next season, after months of turnover and speculation about the future of TV’s top-rated show.
With pomp rivaling that of a U.S. Supreme Court appointment, Fox finally assembled the new pieces of the “Idol” panel that will be returned to its original three-member format for season 10.
Actress-singer-dancer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Tyler will have the job of trying to match the 
offbeat chemistry of former judges Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul.
“This is ‘American Idol’!” host Ryan Seacrest said after the new judges joined him on stage at the Forum arena, where the final national audition for next season’s singing contest was held Wednesday.
Is it just me or do those guys look REALLY REALLY awkward together? like the cast of a horrible sitcom.
Anyway, the announcement was made before a crowd of several thousand who had gathered to try out, some cheering loudly for the cameras and all hoping to make it to the next round, when they’ll be judged by the revamped panel. The mini-show was streamed live online by Fox.
Tyler said he wanted to join the show because “it’s being a part of something much bigger than yourself. … I want to bring some rock to this rollercoaster and show if you’ve got the heart, the talent, the feeling to do this you could be the next American Idol.”
“I’m so excited,” said Lopez, who scored a reported $12 million to join the show. “I’m looking for the next Michael Jackson.”
Here’s the new promo for the show. Not sure if it really makes you wanna go out and watch this season of AI…

See what I mean?
Just for old time sake – remember these guys???
You can’t see it…but a single tear just rolled down my cheek. I miss the old crew. Ah – those were the days.

Steven Tyler Falls off stage…AGAIN!
Tags: aerosmith, steven tyler, steven tyler falls off stage, torontoOn Air with Kenny Jones – we learned of another instance where the 60 year old frontman for Aerosmith, Steven Tyler, took another tumble off a stage. This time it was in front of thousands of screaming fans in Toronto. In case you live under a rock and have no clue what we’re talking about – perhaps you should see for yourself…
this was at an event in South Dakota last year. The spill ended up in a broken collar bone for Steven and forced the band to cancel the majority of their tour dates.
Now that you’ve seen the first round – take a look at Steven’s head into the crowd during a concert in Toronto…
(the spill takes place at approximately 9:40 on the video – we suggest letting it load and skipping forward as the rest of the footage is a bit dodge)
Is this cat clumsy or was it foul play???
Apparently Lead Guitarist, Joe Perry has release a statement claiming he didn’t push Steven off the stage. I know, I know, you’re probably thinking the same thing I am…WHAT? The band may be in a little turmoil as of late – canceled concert dates, broken bones, tweeting you’re quitting, pursuing a gig as ajudge on american idol…and all of it surrounding Steven Tyler.
Perhaps Joe did help his band mate off stage? Maybe it was a harmless accident? Or is this just a strategic publicity stunt by some crafty pr people? What do you think? Please post.
