Aerosmith Bassist Tom Hamilton Confirms Steven Tyler's Judging American Idol

There's been a lot of gossip hoopla over the last few weeks over who's going to sit at the judging table on American Idol this season.  Although Fox hasn't confirmed or denied if Steven Tyler will be a judge, Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton tells the Star Ledger that the 'ink is dry on that'.

"Steven is doing `American Idol.' The ink is dry on that. So, we'll have to work around his schedule for a new record ... Steven is someone who absolutely lives to be in front of an audience, and the people closest to him know how witty and entertaining he can be. I don't know if `American Idol' will be rock 'n' roll enough for him, but it is an opportunity for millions of people to see another side of Steven Tyler."

If nobody else is going to confirm it, Tom Hamilton will! There's still no word on Jennifer Lopez being a judge but her chances are slim considering she's asking for $20 million and her own beauty team. How about finding a judge who is more interested in finding great singing talent rather than a good makeup artist?
