J.Lo Is Furious That 'Idol' Is All About Steven Tyler

Who predicted 'American Idol' would be in deep trouble without Simon Cowell at the helm? Me, you, everybody, that is until Steven Tyler stepped up to breathe new life into the decade-old series, thrilling just about everyone -- save for Miss
Jennifer Lopez.
"This was meant to be Jennifer's big comeback," an insider complains to me. "The entire re-branding of the show was built around her, but now it's all about Steven 24/7."
While Jennifer's the one normally lavished with attention, I'm hearing she's getting annoyed with all the people asking her about the Aerosmith legend.
Snarked my source: "She's mystified at how this happened and has made it very clear to the producers that the cameras need to spend a little more time adoring Jennifer's favorite idol -- herself!"
And although it may be a little too soon for 'Idol' to be congratulating themselves on another season well done, the doom and gloom theories that this would be the show's last year on the air are all but silenced.
"The show has experienced year-to-year declines of about 10 percent for the last several seasons now, so everyone expected ratings to drop," a TV insider tells me. "The only question was how much they drop. And although the show did drop, it still produced huge numbers easily beating all its competition. Last week's episode was actually up from last Thursday's episode by nearly 18 percent, and was down only 9 percent from the equivalent episode last year."
At the end of the day, it's shaping up that Steven has saved this show. Word of mouth about him and the quality of singers is getting stronger and stronger ever week, and so far he's even managed to get us to forget the departure of Simon Cowell. Sorry, Jennifer, we still miss Paula.

I agree. Tyler is also a little more emotional and outgoing but he's earned the right to do a little hotdogging. She is awesome and I liked a couple of her movies.
this show sucks,tyler can't sing,he just screams,old pervert.
j-lo is an idiot,she needs to be home with the kids. hope this is the last season or put charlie sheen as a judge.

Yes, it creeps me out how he says some of the young girls are "delicious." Yuck!
Steve is great, but I have to go with Jlo. The 3 of them together is where its at.
dave have you ever heard Aerosmith....that ain't screaming man. I wished I half the control over my pipes
He may scream but besides being a rock legend the guy is a musical genius. As for the young girls, what guy doesn't look and go "WOW" and think back why girls didn't look like that when I was that young. Its not being perverted, its just appreciating real beauty and enjoying what you see.
J-LO Who?

Shame, shame Rob Shuter. Just because you're more attracted to Stephen than Jennifer does not mean you should spread meanie rumors about Jennifer. Grow up.

I agree, i think both of them are doing Great!! and refreshing the show, even Randy finds a real role this year in the panel judges. I really don't miss at all Simon and sweet Paula.
Be thou not a skank.

I thought this show was supposed to be about the singers, not the judges. J-Lo might do well to remember that.

Steven Tyler is seasoned musician with great talent who happens to know how to sing.
J-LO do you really think you're good enough to judge other people even to think you're better than Steven Tyler?
Get real.

There have been rumors for years that she's incredibly difficult to work with, so I tend to believe it. And for the above posters, I don't think Rob is a BSer - J.Lo is her own worst enemy. ;)
