LONDON - Its official! Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Stephen Tyler will be judging the upcoming 10th series of ‘American Idol’.

At a press conference in Los Angeles, presenter of the show, Ryan Seacrest, announced the new line-up, which also includes record producer Randy Jackson.

Simon Cowell quit the programme in May to concentrate on a US version of his show ‘The X Factor’, while comedienne Ellen DeGeneres left in July followed by songwriter Kara DioGuardi who quit earlier this month.
