Keith Urban Returning to American Idol

Even though the ratings drop lower and lower each year, American Idol producers say they're sticking with the show and their judges' panel.

Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Junior will all return for their second season together, along with host Ryan Seacrest.

Fox's David Hill released a statement which said, "Jennifer, Keith, Harry and Ryan are the very best in the business at what they do, and I'm thrilled that they are returning to American Idol for another season."

There were some rumors floating around that Simon Cowell would be returning to help bring up ratings, but we haven't heard anything else on that subject, so it's probably just wishful thinking.
