Back in the saddle again

They’re baaaaack!
Well, two out of three ain’t bad, for starters.
Fox has confirmed that Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson are set to return to the judges’ table for season 11 of the popular Fox reality series American Idol, according to Entertainment Weekly.
During an appearance on Lopez Tonight last month, Jackson felt pretty confident things would fall into place.
“We’ll all be back next year. I believe we’ll all be back,” Randy told George Lopez on his show, the day after the Idol finale.
“It was a hot season,” Jackson added. “We started something that was, like, y’know…our 10th year anniversary…so, going into season 11 we got a lot to prove and show again.”
No word on the status of Jennifer Lopez for Season 11, as she is working on developing her own music reality series.
Long before Idol returns, Tyler will be joining Aerosmith in the studio to work on their first album of new material since 2001′s “Just Push Play.”
“Whole band has plans to go into the studio with Jack Douglas second week of July to work on new Aero CD,” tweeted guitarist Joe Perry recently, adding, “Laying down some new tracks this week. Been listening to fans comments over last couple of yrs putting that in creative blender.”
