For the first time ever, Fox has released raw, unedited footage of the upcoming season of AmericanIdol to the press -- nearly 13 minutes' worth. And while we can't share the snippets with you, Idol Worshippers, we can offer you some hints of what's to come.
It seems like only yesterday that HeejunHan ripped off his top on AmericanIdol and proclaimed that he wanted to dance along to a rip-roaring performance of Billy Joel's "My Life."
Randy Jackson had kind words for the newly announced panel of American Idol judges when he spoke to THR and a group of reporters outside Tuesday's Novak Djokovic Foundation Gala Dinner in New York.
Jackson said that the panel, which includes Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr., is "amazing" and will make the upcoming season of Idol the "greatest show of its kind ever."
Harry Connick Jr. is returning to American Idol -- this time, in a judge's seat.
The singer, who has appeared on the Fox reality competition multiple times as a mentor and performer, is inking a deal to serve as a judge alongside Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez on the upcoming 13th season, a source close to the show tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend may have spoken out of turn when he confirmed to E! News that the singer-actress will be returning as an American Idol judge next season.
The behind-the-scenes reboot of American Idol is starting to pick up steam. A source tells The Hollywood Reporter that the Fox show is closing in on its season 13 judges lineup. At the top of producers' wish list: singer, actress and mini-mogul Jennifer Lopez, who was a judge on Idol for two seasons, in 2011 and 2012.
But talks between producers and Lopez's representatives seem to have reached an impasse over -- what else -- money.
Despite rampant rumors, a rep for Kelly Clarkson tells The Hollywood Reporter that the American Idol winner will not be judging season 13 of the Fox show.
