It appears that American Idol is interested in  Kanye & Nicki.  TMZ reports that Kanye is also now included in the list (Diddy, Pharrell) of potential judges and that he “expressed interest†in joining.
A few days ago, it was rumored that Nicki Minaj will soon close out her deal to join the panel. If so, she will join with Mariah Carey, who signed on last month.
