It looks like Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi are out and Jennifer Lopez is in as the new judge for the tenth season of "American Idol," reports Entertainment Weekly.

La Lopez officially signed on after DeGeneres confirmed her exit after a one year stint, and DioGuardi was fired from the popular Fox series.

According to TMZ, "AI" is returning to a three-judge format and once all deals are finalized, the judge's panel will consist of Randy Jackson, Lopez, and Steven Tyler.

The last time JLo appeared on "AI"" was during the show's sixth season as an Idol mentor on Latin night. Lopez received generally positive reviews on her warmth and ability to extract a not entirely terrible performance of “Bésame Mucho” from contestant Sanjaya Malakar.

Fox and Lopez's reps declined to comment on the reported deal, but all signs confirm Jenny's inked the TV deal of the year.
