What Steven Tyler loved (and hated) about 'Idol'Now that he’s no longer judging “American Idol,” Steven Tyler is free to speak his mind about the gig. "I loved it and hated it," Tyler told Rolling Stone. "It was a great job, I sat next to J. Lo and I made a ton of money. It was a moment in life and it became larger than life." Brad Paisley being eyed for 'Idol' gig?There's still one more seat open at "American Idol's" judges' table, and Deadline reports that Fox is seriously considering adding country star Brad Paisley to the mix. Considering that some of "Idol’s" most successful acts - including Carrie Underwood, Scotty McCreery and Kellie Pickler - are country stars, Deadline speculates that Paisley could be a good move, as the genre clearly has appeal with "Idol's" audience. Say hello to your new 'Idol' judge ...Mariah Carey is just full of announcements lately. The 43-year-old singer and mom of twins recently revealed on Twitter that she has a new song, called "Triumphant," set to arrive in early August, and she's also confirmed that she'll be a new judge on "American Idol." Steven Tyler leaving 'American Idol'Steven Tyler has announced he’s leaving “American Idol.” Tyler, who joined the show in its 10th season, sat at the judges table alongside Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez for two seasons. (And rumors are swirling that Jackson and Lopez may be looking to leave “Idol,” as well.) Mary J. Blige, rock goddess?"Queen of hip-hop soul" Mary J. Blige belts out some rock classics in her new movie musical, "Rock of Ages," and it may have inspired her to do the same in real life. Jennifer Lopez doesn't know if she'll marry againIt's been rumored that Jennifer Lopez has been getting cozy with 20-something dancer Casper Smart, but the "Idol" judge told Matt Lauer on "Today" that she's still recovering from her recent split. Lopez, who separated from husband Marc Anthony last July, told Lauer that the change in her personal life is "still fresh," adding that she doesn't know if she'll ever marry again. "It's not the time to think about [marriage] yet." What is on her mind is her new show with her estranged spouse, "Q'Viva! The Chosen," which she continued to work on with Anthony following their separation. |
