The rumors have been out there for a couple of weeks about who will be on the next judging panel for American Idol, this morning Fox confirms those rumors by announcing the new judging panel for season 13 of the singing competition reality show.

Unless you went to Dallas last week to see the premiere episode of season 12 of American Idol, you'll get to see the new panel of judges as they make their debut on the new season tonight on Fox.

American Idol is giving you the chance to see the premiere episode of Season 12 a week before its TV release date of Wednesday, January 16 by screening the first episode of the new season in select theaters nationwide.

American Idol will be all-new,it seems, this year. Well, new in that the judges will all be new. According to TMZ, Randy Jackson has become the latest judge to leave the "American Idol" lineup. The singer/record producer was the last remaining member of the show's original panel of judges after launching the first season with Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul in 2002.

The big question: Is this the last of "American Idol?" Now that both Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez have confirmed they will not return for next season, some think so.

‘American Idol‘ contestant Jennifer Diley described herself as “all-American” and perfect. Unfortunately, her pitch wasn’t, so she didn’t make it to Hollywood. Now, the curvy brunette is complaining that judge Steven Tyler promised she’d go on to the Hollywood rounds and insinuates that the producers set her up for failure. Right.

Carrie Underwood, Scotty McCreery, Kelly Clarkson -- all names previously unheard until they stood before the judges on American Idol. The list can go on, but after the first day of American Idol Season 11 auditions on FOX, you can add a new name to that list...

Randy Jackson is still in it to win it: EW.com has confirmed that the original ‘American Idol’ judge will return for an 11th season on Fox’s top-rated series. Also returning for season 11 is Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler — not exactly the most surprising revelation, considering he initially signed on for more than one season, according to EW.com.

Scott MeCreery was once again declared safe on American Idol last night. Scott has never been in the bottom three, and it seems America loves him. Scott and teen contestant, Lauren Alaina, kicked off the show last night with a duet, Lady Antebellum's 'American Honey.' Who got eliminated? Find out after the jump.

American Idol was all about Motown last night! When I heard them announce the theme for the show, I thought, just like most of the country fans rooting for Scott McCreery, that this could be a tough one for our favorite country contestant! tough! Get more scoop at Taste Of Country.
