The announcement came via Idol host Ryan Seacrest, who revealed that the hit show’s latest shake-up will see Lopez, and Aerosmith front-man Steve Tyler join sole original judge Randy Jackson on the panel.

Needless to say, this is the career resuscitation the mother of two could have only dreamed of just months ago.  With a new label to boot (Def Jam), and now Idol, Ms. Lopez may be set to stage a major comeback. Watch this space…

    Yeah, J.Lo. has so much on her plate — like making crappy movies no one goes to see or making CDs no one wants to buy! What a train-wreck American Idol has become. They should have quit while they were ahead. With the back-to-back bailing of Simon and Ellen, isn’t it time to just pack it in? why not Janet, Mariah or even Toni Braxton….. but yet Jenny from the block Even BEYONCE has OUT DONE HER

  2. the f***!? September 22, 2010

    well at least she got some type of income coming through. Good for her.

  3. ronny September 22, 2010

    it seems lyk just yeserday j lo was da ish
    how did she become soo unpopular
    can someone tell me

  4. pliss September 22, 2010

    She’s under rated so much as an actress, and i love her.
    SO HAPPY FOR HER.

    Areis,

    Mariah, Janet and Toni wouldn’t be judge on AI. That corny show is beneath them.

    On to the article. J.Low is washed up and the general public aren’t interested in her wack music nor her movies.

    I don’t understand why LA Reid signed her, he must be getting desperate. It looks like he doesn’t care much for real talent anymore.

    I wonder when Sam will do a post on Kelly Rowland firing her new manager?

    Or how bout how Sylvia Rhone (and others) will lose her job if Kelly doesnt sell?

    Im waitng Sam, kelly is your girl after all 🙂

    YAAAAAAN!!!!! Wake me before she go-go… cant wait when overpriced contracts finishes or gets cut.

  13. Trent the R***** September 22, 2010

    J Ho b**** has never won a grammy!!!! Take that Paula!

  14. kim September 22, 2010

    lmfao its funny how American idol picks female judges who cant hold a f****** tune, Paula) or who cant sing nor knows how to sing (Ellen) ( j lo ) to critique others on how to sing lol I’m so done with this show they should just make this the last season maybe they think j lo is gonna saed the show

  15. Wire September 22, 2010

    The Icon Jennifer Lopez aka God discovered Beyonce, Michael Jackson, and Madonna.

    She knows what talent is so she’s perfect for the show. American Idol is now our church.

    It’s your new bible. You will watch every time it’s on or else. I’m so excited for the Icon. OMG!

  16. kim September 22, 2010

    oops sorry (save) the show)

  17. HUSHBITCH September 22, 2010

    J-LO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> toni braxton.

    get it right.

  18. sokmidyk September 22, 2010

    JLo is a modern Paula there singing is similar guess its fine the show its self has been done for a while

  19. FUTURESTARdelux September 22, 2010

    MEH AMERICAN IDOL IS GONNA FLOP, IT HAS ONE MORE SERIES AFTER THIS NEW ONE MAX. AT LEAST JLO IS TAKIN THE $$$$ LOL
    AT THIS POINT IN TIME SHE’S LIKE DIDDY MORE KNOWN FORE BEING RICH THAN MAKING MUSIC, AT LEAST SHE’S STILL RAKING IN THE $$$$ FROM HER PERFUMES.

  20. Nadirah September 22, 2010

    She’an got sh-t else better to do then tell other people that they cannot sing.

    Pot calling kettle black.

  21. royalkev September 22, 2010

    @ Hush b**** , I like Jlo but she’ll never be better than Toni Braxton! I do think she’ll be a great addition to the show. I may just tune in every now and then to see her action, but I won’t follow the show this season unless there’s some real talent.

  22. RATED X September 22, 2010

    I’m sorry, I’m still laughing my a** off JLO being a judge at a SINGING COMPETITION..
    hell half of these broads that gets vote off can sing a million times better than her..

    jlo, stick to making b rated movies, i like u gurl…

    BUT HELL NAWL

  23. madison September 22, 2010

    jlo is bout to be back ya’ll….haters stay mad

  24. LadyPegLeg September 22, 2010

    Sorry JLO stans. Your girl can’t sing or act. She is a great dancer so SYTYCD would have been a better fit for her. All of her hits were mainly with JaRule or written by Diddy who made her a household name. People might tune in at first to see what it will be like but it will fall off after that.

  25. Ch.. September 22, 2010

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    She can’t even sing!!

  26. PRINCEi.vMONSTA September 22, 2010

  28. shut up already! September 22, 2010

    I dnt know y jlo is being scrutinized for being the new judge. Simon can’t even sing yet he judged singers and even made them cry and he is already being missed. Cut her some slack

  29. JLO September 22, 2010

    JLO = OH NO!

    Steven “rehab” Tyler is more interesting news then this chick. Yet another famous yodeller afoot! How can margianl talent judge true talent anyway?

  30. True Blue September 23, 2010

    @ Rated X:

    Keep in mind that Simon, Paula, Randy and Ellen can’t sing, either.

  31. JAYLA September 23, 2010

    I DIDNT KNOW THE JUDGES ON AMERICAN IDOL HAD TO BE THE BEST SINGERS…? WOW YOU IGNORANT NO LIFE BLOG B****** ARE DUMB AS HELL, BECAUSE PAULA AND SIMON HAVE GRAMMYS AND ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING VOICES (SARCASM), LMAO GET A LIFE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS LADY GETS PAID MORE THAN EVERYONE ON THIS BLOG PUT TOGETHER, I HIGHLY DOUBT J.LO GIVES A LOVELY F*** IF YALL THINK SHE CAN SING LOL, IF HER NEXT ALBUM FLOP IT WILL STILL MAKE MORE MONEY THAN MOST OF YOU PPL WILL SEE IN YOUR LIFE, SO INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TEAR DOWN HER SINGING ABILITY HOW BOUT YALL TRY GO GETTING A LIFE…. 🙂

  32. SHUT UP ALREADY! September 23, 2010

    @TRUE BLUE AND @JAYLA,. NICELY SAID I DONT KNOW Y THEY KEEP SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT HER INSTEAD OF CONGRATULATING HER. ANYWAY NO ONE TAKES THIS SITE SERIOUSLY.

  33. kim September 23, 2010

    laugh my f****** ass all the way off @ jlos 1 fan that keeps changing there screen name an commenting go kill yourself real slow with a dirty razor b****!! i could give a f*** about how much money this b**** is makeing it still doesn’t justify the fact that the b**** sucks BALLS and she cant sing a f****** lick!! truth hurts i know 🙂

  34. RATED X September 23, 2010

    I’m sorry when did STATING your own opinion in a comment section becomes HATING?

    yes Ellen, Simon, Randy are not singers.. key words NOT SINGERS

    but I find it quite ironic Jlo being a judge in a singing competition, when shes not known for her singing abilities..
    like I said half these broads who gets send home, can sing better..

    if stating my opinion makes me a hater, than i guess ill be a hater(rolling eyes)

  35. KD September 23, 2010

    Am I the only one LOL @ the above pic. It looks like Mrs. Anthony is taking a dump in the bush. Some1 needs to be fired for such a travesty.

  36. marie September 24, 2010

  39. WTH September 25, 2010

    WTH — she can’t sing, she has very little personality to speak of, and her opinion, who gives a ….. AI needed real talent to judge real talent not this lame excuse for it
