At the 79th Annual Academy Awards last night, Jennifer Lopez could not contain her excitement. No, neither she or husband Marc Anthony were up for any Oscars.But Jenny from the Block will be appearing on American Idol in April.

"I’m very excited about it," Lopez told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet. "[American Idol] is one of our favorite shows. We TiVo it and are watching the early auditions."

The singer was mum on specific details about her Idol itinerary, but did reveal that she will perform.

Lopez's American Idol stint comes on the heels of a promotional tour for her first ever Spanish language album, "Como Ama Una Mujer" ("How a Woman Loves"), which hits stores April 3.
