American Idol is giving you the chance to see the premiere episode of Season 12 a week before its TV release date of Wednesday, January 16 by screening the first episode of the new season in select theaters nationwide.

Randy Jackson is still in it to win it: EW.com has confirmed that the original ‘American Idol’ judge will return for an 11th season on Fox’s top-rated series. Also returning for season 11 is Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler — not exactly the most surprising revelation, considering he initially signed on for more than one season, according to EW.com.
