More sources have surfaced to confirm Nicki Minaj and Enrique Iglesias are in talks to join the American Idol judges’ panel.
The Associated Press reports:
A person close to Minaj said Monday the 29-year-old entertainer has been in talks to judge the Fox TV competition and that a deal is in the works. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because that person was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
And People magazine reports:
Meanwhile, a source tells PEOPLE that Enrique Iglesias, who is currently on tour with departing judge Jennifer Lopez, is being considered for the show, which also lost Steven Tyler after season 11.
“Idol has expressed a lot of interest but no final word on either side yet,” a source tells PEOPLE of the “I Like It” singer, 36.
US Magazine reported pretty much the same news yesterday. Could we end up with a panel made up of Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey (I think the TMZ report may be exaggerated), Brad Paisley or Keith Urban and Enrique Iglesias?
