It's official: Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson will all return for season 11 of American Idol.

Said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment at Fox, in a statement today:

“From the very first day of auditions, we knew we had something special in our new judges panel, and we’re so happy that America felt that way too. Together with Ryan – who is fantastic day in and day out – they built an incredible connection with both the contestants and our viewers, and I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome them all back to Idol for another season.”
