The next season of American Idol could be more streamlined than the current run it seems, starting with the number of seats at the judges’ table.
The 12th season of the show hasn’t even ended yet but already rumours and gossip are spreading thick and fast. It’s been reported over the past week that Fox bosses are planning to wipe out the current panel in it’s entirety and replace it with all new stars. However, all we really know for sure is that Randy Jackson won’t be taking part.

Nick Cannon has hit out at American Idol bosses for poking the fire and causing the feud between his wife Mariah Carey and her nemesis and co-judge Nicki Minaj.
The women engaged in a very public dispute on Twitter last week, with the ‘Vision Of Love’ singer mocking the rap star for having never topped the Billboard Top 100 chart and the younger singer hitting back, blasting Carey’s age and supposed insecurities.

Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey were never going to be friends, we always knew that but we didn’t expect things to kick off on Twitter of all places.
We thought that the ladies would keep it together at least while American Idol was on air, but this week they have moved their feud up another notch and taken to the social networking site to air their grievances about one another.

Nicki Minaj was once again less than respectful and deferential to Mariah Carey on last night’s American Idol show.
It appears that the Starships hitmaker is not a believer in the whole ‘respect your elders’ thing, as last night she had yet another disagreement with the ‘Vision Of Love’ singer and of course, she made her feelings very, very clear.

Nicki Minaj has revealed that her TV career has taken over to the extent that she won’t have time to tour this year.
The ‘Starships’ singer joined the American Idol panel earlier this year and that has eaten into her recording time, so the star will now dedicate her time to creating a new album before she embarks on any major tours.

Nicki Minaj has admitted that she doesn’t mind if people see her as the nasty judge on American Idol.
The Starships hitmaker joined the reality TV panel earlier this year and joins Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and old favourite Randy Jackson on the twice weekly live shows in the US.
She hit the ground running and started the controversy as soon as she appeared at the auditions, when she fought with Mariah Carey and was brutally honest with hopeful singers.
