Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a friend of Steven Tyler told the Associated Press that the Aerosmith frontman is confirmed as a judge on the upcoming season of 'American Idol.'
"While an official announcement about Tyler has yet to come from FOX and the producers of the top-rated show, the source told The Associated Press on Wednesday, 'there is no reason to refute' Tyler's account," the AP writes.
FOX did not comment on the report. Stay tuned to PopEater for developments!

Ellen DeGeneres left 'Idol' after just one season, announcing her departure weeks ago.

Is Tyler gay? Without his fame and money he'd be hard pressed to get a gay lover, too uggo.

As they say in Ireland Tyler "has a face that would drive rats from a barn." Thumbs down for Tyler, two thumbs way up for Bret Michaels.

Excellent choice adding Steve to the judge panel.

Well I would like to see Bret Michaels as a Judge for American Idol..

I think that AI should try to steal Sharon Osborne from America's Got Talent. She would make a great Idol Judge. She does a great job on that show.
