Set that DVR, buddy. Mercury Nashville/19/Interscope's Lauren Alaina is returning to Fox's American Idol—the show that helped her garner acclaim in its 10th season—as a mentor on Thursday 2/11 at 8pm ET.

This season (the 15th and final), she serves as a mentor to two contestants, who she will perform a duet with come Thursday.

Since her own journey on Idol, Alaina released her debut album Wildflower, which bowed at #1 on iTunes' country chart. Her latest single, "Next Boyfriend"—off her recently released, self-titled EP—is preparing to chart at the radio format now.

The songstress is set to hit the road with renowned singer/songwriter Alan Jackson this spring on the Keepin' It Country Tour. Click here for a full list of dates.

Meanwhile, at the HITS offices this spring, we plan on keepin' things mildly crass and totally uncivilized. Then again, that's how we operate every season.
