All tag results for 'judge'

Jennifer Hudson is in and Kelly Clarkson is out, but who will take the next seat on the American Idol judging panel??!

In an effort to squash season 12's horrific ratings, AI is looking to their OWN past contestants to boost viewership and Adam Lambert is absolutely up for the job.

In fact, the former Idol is SO excited at the prospect that he would accept an invitation to join the team on the spot.

The City of New York need not worry though — we hope.

You may have heard that Amanda Bynes had quite the night last night. The details of her antics are still coming in, but we can tell you now that she has been released from police custody on her own recognizance.

However, she got pretty lucky, as prosecutors had requested that she be held on $1,000 bail. But her judge allowed her to go free, with a stern warning to stay out of trouble and to make sure she appeared for her upcoming July court date. Otherwise, an arrest warrant will be fast and swift!

Though she is back on the streets, she was charged with reckless endangerment in the second degree, attempted tampering with physical evidence and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Oh, Mandy. We just didn't want this for you. We really were hoping things would get better for you, not worst.

Please — PLEASE take this as a wake up call. Go back to the hospital, get some help! Fix your life. You're so young, you have so much time ahead of you. Make the most of it.

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Oh man, having the ORIGINAL American Idol return as an AI judge would have MADE season 13! Sigh.

Rumors have raged concerning the identifies of next season's American Idol judges ever since news broke that NONE of the current judges will be invited back…

And we were THRILLED to hear that Kelly Clarkson, along with former AI contestants Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson, are all in talks to fill the vacant spots.

But unfortunately, it seems the the beautiful belter will NOT be returning to the show that launched her career, as her rep has DENIED her involvement.

However, thank the AI lordz, cause J-Hud has been CONFIRMED as a judge for season 13! Huzzah!

And IF they secure Adam Lambert and other former AI participants, perhaps the throwback hiring will be enough to save the show from cancellation.

Fingers crossed!

The rumors were true! The rumors were true!

In an effort to entice viewers back into the world of American Idol, producers have decided to bring superstar alum Jennifer Hudson on board as a judge!

Multiple sources have confirmed that she has signed on for Season 13, which airs this Fall.

Kelly Clarkson is reportedly very close to signing on as well, with the third spot being reserved for either Adam Lambert or Clay Aiken.

We'll keep you updated!! Congrats, J-Hud!!

…judge??

He just might be if executives have their way.

And we approve!

Now that American Idol seems to be revamping their judge's panel yet again, Bruno Mars could find himself in one of those spinning cushy chairs.

In fact, he could find himself scoring a spot VERY soon if things go right. A source revealed:

Kelly Rowland can Breathe a sigh of relief, because one less gal is competing for a spot at the judge's table!!

Like a splash of soy milk in your 6 shot venti, rumors swirled around Faith Hill and X Factor — the implication being that the country legend may take one of the open spots on the panel!

As lovely as that thought may be, it's just plain fiction!!
