Steven Tyler is but one of many names being considered to fill the "American Idol" judges panel vacancy — although talks with Jennifer Lopez have gone on "for months," TheWrap has learned.
As far as Tyler knows, his name is in the mix, but other options are being considered by "Idol" brass, a person with knowledge of the talks between Tyler and "Idol" told TheWrap. If Fox is prepping an offer for Tyler, as has been widely rumored, they haven't made him aware of it, the person said.
Widespread speculation has surrounded the judges table since Simon Cowell announced his exit in January.
