“After some long…hard…thoughts…I’ve decided it’s time for me to let go of my mistress ‘American Idol’ before she boils my rabbit. I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I’m back — but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I’ve got two fists in the air and I’m kicking the door open with my band.”

— Steven Tyler, in a statement from Fox, annoucing his departure as a judge on “American Idol.” This comes on the heels of rumors that Jennifer Lopez might be leaving as well. So who could be a replacement? Sources are saying it could be Idol runner-up Adam Lambert.
