Randy Jackson out on ‘Idol’, Keith Urban sort of in

August 31, 2012 | celebrity | editor | 0 Comments

It’s been rumored for months that Randy Jackson would not return to ‘American Idol’ next season, and now the LA Times says his departure is all but official, causing a void that the show will replace quickly and easily.

TMZ has a source (possibly a two-week old copy of the Hollywood Reporter) saying Keith Urban will replace Jackson and “take the third judging spot alongside Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.”

Officially, Minaj is not actually a judge yet either, perhaps because of this rumor saying Mariah doesn’t want to share the spotlight with her. And I don’t blame her. It’s just like when I starred in my 8th grades production of ‘Pippin’. Those other kids sucked, they ruined everything!
