Mariah Carey took Jennifer Lopez’s judge’s seat on the next season of “American Idol,” and now it looks like Nicki Minaj is going to replace Steven Tyler.
Reports Fox News:
Multiple sources tell US Weekly that Minaj has gotten the green light from “Idol” producers.
The hip hop star is “100% confirmed to judge American Idol,” a source told the tabloid.
Reps for FOX had no comment when contacted by FOX411.com.
Minaj, 29, raised eyebrows earlier this year with a Grammy performance that leaned heavily on Catholic imagery. She even walked the red carpet with a guy dressed like the pope.
“Stay offended. Not a single F**K is given,” she said via Twitter in the aftermath of her widely-panned song-and-dance routine.
Minaj also made headlines in May when she performed before a live audience for Good Morning America with her left breast popping out of her tank top.
I see said the blind man. And now…
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you that on another note, judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Nicki got some fun bags. Luv to motorboat her
I guess they’re trying to boost ratings… Cause folks will watch now just to hate on Nicki… Being that she will be sitting the majority of the time, there is no need for me to start watching now. Why don’t they just get one of the previous winners of “Idol”?
Please, no. I don’t even watch AI like that but they need LONG established acts/producers/A&R ppl as judges. Nicki hasn’t been around long enough. I didn’t agree w/ their pick of J. LO either but at least her age gave her a more experience.
