US Weekly has just confirmed that Nicki Minaj will be a judge on American Idol this season.

She’s got one hand in her pocket and another in Fremantle Media’s pocket, apparently. Alanis Morissette has announced that she may be in the running to be a new ‘American Idol‘ judge.

Season 12 of ‘American Idol‘ will see some big changes, and we’re not just talking about the addition of super diva Mariah Carey to the judge’s panel. There will be three new ways for hopefuls to audition this season, which kicks off in early 2013.

Phillip Phillips is the hottest thing in pop music right now, having won the ‘American Idol‘ Season 11 crown on Wednesday night (May 23). The first thing he did when he broke down and stopped singing his coronation song ‘Home?’ He walked into the crowd to hug his family.
