We knew it was sweeps season, but we had no idea all four judges were getting swept under the rug!!
Sources say American Idol is cleaning house — neither Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, or the veteran Randy Jackson are coming back for another season!
Unless your name is Ryan Seacrest, it's time to clean out your locker!!
Wow!!! We knew RJ was on the way out and viewership was dwindling, but we never expected this kind of shake up!
Apparently Fox execs are furious over the crap-tastic ratings!
One network insider said:
This is going to be a messy breakup.
Rumors have been rampant that Mariah Carey was getting the boot, but now we're hearing that American Idol will be kicking its entire judging panel to the reality TV curb.
Say "Hi" to Britney Spears for us! LOLz (just kidding.. love you Brit Brit)
But SERIOUSLY.
Mariah, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, and MAYBE EVEN Randy Jackson will be replaced in an effort to boost AI's sinking ratings.
A source close to production said:
This such a hauntingly brilliant song accompanied by an absolutely SOUL-CRUSHING vid!!
Taylor Swift and Keith Urban are featured in Tim McGraw's latest single Highway Don't Care — a cautionary tale about the dangers of texting and driving.
The gut-wrenching sob story about an ill-fated lovers contains Public Service Announcement-esque levels of melodrama, but it is pretty effective!!
Ch-ch-check out the tearjerker for yourself (above)!
Most importantly, the song is stunning! We were moved by Swifty sweet vocals and more than a little turned on by Tim and Keith's sweet bodz., LOLz!!
Props to these guys and gals for collaborating on a splendid safety message!
Don't text and drive, y'all!
Prepare yourselves for one CRUNCHY country corn muffin!
Southern style poptart Taylor Swift, studly singer Tim McGraw and American Idol coach extraordinaire Keith Urban have combined musical forces on Highway Don't Care…
And for the tune's melodious video, the trifecta are seen at various times walking down — yep, you guessed it — a highway.
Ch-ch-check out this somber seeming clip from the soon to be released vid (above)!
But if that sweet morsel didn't satisfy your craving for Kaylor Straw (HA we had to), then take a peek at some behind the scenes footage …AFTER THE JUMP!!!
Let it never be said that Ryan Seacrest is a softball interviewer! When Keith Urban stopped by, Ryan challenged him to an arm wrestling match!
Obvi, __________ was the winner because ______________!

You KNOW you’ve done well when Mariah Carey covers you in glitter!
Helloooo, Mizz Glitter herself celebrating you with a glitter bomb?
That’s a sign you’ve made it!
And one of the American Idol contestants did just that last night with what was called “one of the greatest performances in the history of 12 years of American Idol” by Randy Jackson.
Candice Glover brought down the house with her performance of The Cure’s Love Song which clearly blew Mariah away and compelled her to show some glittery love (above)!
And Candice KNOWS that little bit of glitter is more than just some sparkle as she revealed:
Who knew Taylor Swift could look THAT good in THAT LBD??
The country singer took to the Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena stage last night in that backless frock. Joining Tim McGraw and Keith Urban for Tim's Superstar Summer Night, Tay Tay and the boys performed Highway Don’t Care — the same number they performed at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards just the night before!
Ch-ch-check out the performance…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
