Update:
The Hollywood Reporter is saying Nicki is going to make 8 million this season with allowances for wardrobe, hair and makeup. Keith is going to be making 4 million for this season. Mariah is making 18 million and Randy will stick with what he was paid last season an estimated 6.5-7million.
After months of rumors and speculation, some true and some not, the new American Idol judging panel is set....
Mariah Carey, of course, is in.
Randy Jackson is staying on as a judge after plans to get Enrique Iglesias didn't work out.
And....Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban are now official!
Mariah, Nicki, Keith and Randy. Not bad at all for Idol. The dynamic between Mariah and Nicki should be fun to watch, hopefully they just hate each other and make it awkward...
Ryan Seacrest tweeted a picture of the new judges all together over the weekend....
It's official, your new #IdolJudges are @mariahcarey, @nickiminaj, @keithurban & @yo_randyjackson! instagr.am/p/Po5T3JFWf1/
