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 do not watch American Idol. Never have. Steven Tyler Has been around a lot longer than Lopez. Lopez has always been about herself. Except for having a few hits in the late 90's and early 2000's, has she really done anything?

I know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy who said....... Please do us all a favor and don't write anything else unless you get it from the source.

I like Aerosmith and Steven Tyler. But, for the haters to dislike J-Lo to the point of saying she can't sing and has no talent? I don't like her ego. But, the woman most certainly can sing, and dance. And, she isn't that bad as an actress. It is the movies she's been in. Steven Tyler is an icon. He can't truly sing. His longevity deserves respect. But, this guy was self-destructing just a month ago. Don't hate on J-Lo because she doesn't have a flat butt. The jealousy shows when you do that. You don't have to like her. But, anyone who knows she's had some hit songs and is a dancer as well.

can't really sing? By what, pop diva standards. I suppose paul an john couldn't sing either. What are you an idiot? Don't answer, i already know
JLO has to be a participant, not just sit there like a log and vote yes or no. She never voices an opinion. No wonder she's so over-shadowed.

This season is actually fun to watch. Steven and Jennifer have added so much to the show. If Rob's article is true, Jen needs to realize she's a "star"... Steven is an "icon".

I love watching Steven. He is BETTER than Simon!!!!!

Glad I decided not to watch this season....sounds like a disaster

It's not a disaster. It's very entertaining. Better than it's been in years. Mostly it's just Jeniffer Lopez haters talking--Rob included. Jealousy is such a terrible thing. hahahaha
What a load of rubbish.
She has been praising Steven and bigging him up on all the radio shows she was on today.
The people i feel sorry for are the people that believe your nonsense sources. How bloody naive are they ? lol

She may have been ditzy at times, but I miss Paula too.

HANG IN THERE J-LO.IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE STEVEN GOES OFF ON ANOTHER CRACK INDUCED STUPOR MUCH LIKE HE DID WHEN HE WAS WITH AEROSMITH CAUING THE THE BAND TO BREAK UP TWICE.

Oh shut up Steven Tyler is an Icon Jlo is a wannabe that will never be. this is a kin to her being in a movie with Vanessa Redgrave and expecting to get top billing that will never Happen. Redgrave is part of a dynasty and has been in american film 50 years or more and nominated for or won countless awards. that's like letting Jlo off for wearing fur and or designing clothes with it is stupid but letting Redgrave off for wearing it is totally acceptable because she's from an era where there wasn't synthetic replacements you either wore fur or you didn't and it was a status symbol for celebrities to be covered in fur and dripping in diamonds and gems. for example I remember Redgrave always having an emerald garnet and sapphire mothers ring because those were/are her childrens birthstones which also had pave diamonds set in it as Jennifer probably does an Amathyst one because that's max and emme's birthstone or Mariah Carey will probably have a diamond and either aquamarine or emerald one for her twins when their born later this year

Yeah Steven, I have never really watched Idol,now i'm enjoying it.Tyler is a nice guy,he has a history and he has backed off on the young girls,He
listens and gives people a chance.J-lo is cute, but it is Steven.....

This story is b.s. . J-Lo needs to stop primping and preening on a constant basis , though. Steven has some awesome music , but he really needs to stop ogling teen girls like he's starving and they're hamburgers. It's sick.
Randy finally seems to have a backbone. Seems to be taking up where Simon left off and telling the people who 'think' they can sing just what needs to be said. That they STINK at singing.
Lastly , there seems to be a broader array of good singers this year. Should be interesting.
