Report: Steven Tyler inks deal to be ‘Idol’ judge
The Hollywood Reporter, well, reports that sources claim Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler has signed a deal to appear as a judge on Season 10 of Fox’s “American Idol.”
Replacement “Idol” judges have been the subject of speculation since popular arbiter Simon Cowell announced that Season 9 would be his last. In July, “Idol’s” newest judge Ellen DeGeneres announced that she would also be leaving the show.
The network, of course, remains lock-lipped, but we can expect the speculation to heat up since Fox seems to enjoy the publicity and the new “Idol” judging panel has to hit the road in September for advanced audition rounds.
Stay tuned.

Will he need a walker to get up on stage?

I am wondering if Paula Abdul's phone has rang lately. This would be a perfect time to bring her back, restoring 2/3 of the original panel plus a draw like S. Tyler might be a good idea. On the other hand, Paula is a bit high-maintenance.
