US Weekly is reporting that Nicki Minaj is definitely joining the American Idol judges panel:
Nicki Minaj — and her multiple personas — will be joining Mariah Carey at the judges’ table on American Idol, two sources confirm to Us Weekly exclusively.
“I’m not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it,” one insider reveals. “A few more slight things to sign off on but it is happening.”
A second source says the “Super Bass” rapper, 29, is “100% confirmed to judge American Idol.” Reps for FOX and Minaj had no comment when contacted by Us.
Ah ha ha ha ha. This is going to be good, considering her propensity for colorful language. I hope she reigns nothing in. Get your censor button ready, FOX! Her loose-cannon personality may be an indication that she won’t be afraid to tell it like it is. Or as she sees it. Heh.
Nicki let the cat out of the bag when she announced on twitter that she was moving around some tour dates to free up the fall. She teased a “secret” to her fans.
We’ll see what kind of judge she makes when the season begins, but on paper, I think this looks good. She’s current, with a relevant career that’s in full swing. She’ll bring in some younger, more diverse fans to the show, hopefully. Plus she’s totally buzz worthy.
