So, today was supposed to be the day.
Except it wasn’t.
Still no official word on who’s in and who’s out on the American Idol judging panel, despite the fact that Monday was the day FOX representatives presented their 2010-11 shows to the Television Critics Association.
Among the latest rumors …
* Kara DioGuardi has been fired. Oh, please, let it be true. And how did I miss the fact that she’d posed nude (tastefully) for Allure magazine back in April? Sort of makes those stripper pole comments Kara made to Bikini Girl ring a little hollow, huh?
* Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fame will be joining the judges table. Wow, I didn’t realize this guy is now 62 years old. Apparently, he has not heard the Danny Gokey shriek at the end of “Dream On” back in season eight. Otherwise, he’d be dashing for retirement, not a spot at the Idol judging table.
* Jennifer Lopez, 41, will replace someone (maybe Ellen, maybe Kara) at the judges’ table. She would bring Idol creds, having coached the season six contestants on Latin music week; she performed “Que Hicista” on that week’s results show. But that might mark the only time a Jennifer Lopez song was performed on the show.
Oh, and if you’re looking for Simon Cowell snarky, look elsewhere. After her season six performance, under questioning from Ryan Seacrest, J. Lo said she comes from the Paula school of judging. “I really do believe accentuating the positive and concentrating on the rightness brings more rightness … Not that we don’t need our Simon.”
Yeah, and Idol needs someone in that role.
* Nigel Lythgoe might be the guy who needs someone in that role. Rumors are that the “So You Think You Can Dance” judge/co-creator/executive producer will return to Idol as executive producer. It’s a role he held up until season seven. Which, coincidentally, was the show’s last really memorable season.
What did FOX network chief Peter Rice have to say about all the rumors swirling around the show on Monday.
According to The Associated Press, he said some of the media speculation about the future of “American Idol” is accurate and some is “wildly inaccurate.”
So let the rumors continue.
Meanwhile, you can enjoy Jennifer Lopez’s season six performance on the show below.
