Harry Connick Jr. Currently In Conversation To Be Third American Idol Judge This Season?

American Idol still has one more spot to fill at its panel next to judges Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban, and we have word that Harry Connick Jr. is in talks to sit his cute and talented butt in the empty chair this season!

The third spot was temporarily filled by writer/producer Dr. Luke, but as we reported earlier this week, he amputated himself from the table due to a conflict of interest.

Harry may not have a medical appellation, but he does have a few Grammys, so we figure he’s pretty qualified to know when something’s pitchy.

And hell, we├óΓé¼Γäód probably even let him do surgery on us, too — he├óΓé¼Γäós hot and seems smart! LOLz!!!

Confirmation may be coming soon, so stay tuned!
