Last night Steven Tyler announced that he will be a judge on the next season of American Idol, joining Jennifer Lopez and for the time being Randy Jackson.

 The announcement came at an after party at Studio 54, Tyler said his future plans include recording “a new album and [I'm] probably going to be a judge on ‘American Idol’. I’m doing it! What do you think?”

This is obviously a stupid idea Fox. Tyler is washed up an hasn’t had an original idea in years. I can’t see anyone taking his advise seriously. I think Tyler is doing this to make himself a star, but it will more than likely back fire in his face. He has been wanting to record a solo album for sometime, but there has been little interest in it, even from Aerosmith fans. This may also end up as the final nail in the coffin of Aerosmith.

Joe Perry is as much a media whore as Tyler so he’ll take advantage of the new exposure for the band  The two have had a rocky relationship for years and Tyler is proving to be more and more bat shit crazy as he gets older.

I am curious to see how Fox will handle the camera angles on Tyler.  He looks like a creepy old lady and seeing his face close up in crystal clear high definition will not be easy for most people to handle.

American Idol is in desperation mode. Last season sucked. The contestants were the worst batch the show has ever produced (which is evident in the poor ticket sales for the top ten tour), the rating fell every week and Simon left.

So now they are desperate to save a sinking ship. Fox’s first big move was to bring a former producer of the show, Nigel Lythgoe. Lythgoe’s top priority is to find a replacement for Simon and save the show. Lythgoe however, has decided to completely try to revamp the show. He started by getting rid of Ellen and is rumored to be firing Kara DioGuardi. There is also a possibility of them getting rid of Randy Jackson.

So who will the new judges be? Well according to rumors Jennifer Lopez is close to agreeing on a deal that would put her at the judges table. The other possible choices are Sean “P Diddy,Puff Daddy, Diddy Diddy Do” Combs,  Elton John, Paula Abdul, Courtney Love, Bret Micheals, Jessica Simpson, David Hasselhoff, the volleyball from Cast Away, Beavis and Butthead, and Blanket Jackson.  At this point you could anyone as judge and it won’t mater, the show has reached it’s end.

The real question is why is there no mention of firing Ryan Seacrest?

Andrew Koenig, better know to the world as Boner has been found dead in a densely wood area. He was found by family and friends who initiated their own private search. Boner had been battling depression according to his father, Star Trek actor Walter Koenig. The 41 year old actor had been missing for over a week.

It’s very sad that at 41 years old he felt that his life was lost and that the only answer was suicide.

This past Sunday, at WWE’s Elimination Chamber Pay Per View WWE World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker almost saw his demise. This night he had more to worry about than the five men he would be locked in a cage with.

John McCain, a mere thirty seconds before the polls open, finally decided to remove the giant stick out of his ass and lighten up. His appearance on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE last night was probably the closest he has come to approximating a human being since his campaign began. He was funny, self-deprecating, and strangely engaging.

Since one of the hot button issues of the campaign has been “experience” and “leadership”, the big question is this: Could this appearance be considered Presidential? Is it dignified? I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the voters think on Tuesday…
