    Earlier this week, Us Weekly reported that Minaj will join the show next season. We'd tune in just to see what she's wearing!

    "Idol" approached Sean "Diddy" Combs for the job, according to E! News, but he didn't think Fox would offer him enough money.

  4. Kim Kardashian

    She's not on anyone's short list, but now that Kanye is involved, could the queen of reality TV be far behind?

  5. Nick Jonas

    Earlier this month, Jonas tweeted: "I am being considered to be a judge on American Idol, and it would be a dream come true if it happens."

  6. Miley Cyrus

    Nick's ex-girlfriend Miley has also been rumored to be in the running … which could be (delightfully) awkward.

  7. Keith Urban

    Country star Urban is reportedly a front-runner, but would he be too boring?

  8. Brad Paisley

    Brad Paisley

    Former "Idol" runner-up Paisley, another reported front-runner, has a "great personality," but Kanye might attract more eyeballs …

  9. Enrique Iglesias

    Enrique Iglesias

    Enrique, another front-runner, is an international star with major sex appeal. But could he top Nicki's crazy costumes?

This is getting good ... Kanye West is the latest front-runner to be a judge on "American Idol," and he's already in the process of negotiating with producers, TMZ reports. Let the controversy begin!

The news comes on the heels of an Us Weekly report that Nicki Minaj will join the show next season. "I'm not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it," an insider tells the mag. The outspoken 29-year-old rapper is one of those love-her-or-hate-her celebs, but we'd tune in just to see what she's wearing!

However, the one already confirmed judge -- Mariah Carey -- seems none too happy about the latest picks. Carey hung up the phone when she was told that Minaj was the top candidate, TMZ reports -- and she followed up by tweeting a photo of herself with Lenny Kravitz along with the caption: "@AmericanIdol What's going on? need the info!! What about this combo? :) if we could ever get him to do it."

Country stars Brad Paisley and Keith Urban and international heartthrob Enrique Iglesias are also reportedly among the front-runners. From Kanye to Nicki to Sean "Diddy" Combs, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who would be the worst "Idol" judge?

    First choice was Kanye...until I saw Kardashian! This has to be 'media hype'. Mariah will do a good job. As far as the other two judges, my vote goes to Kid Rock and Jimmy Fallon. Alas, the 'original' trio were the best. Just my two pennies...

    Jimmy Fallon as neil young

    job judges vote kid rock jimmy fallon alas trio pennies

    It must be another seasoned singer that knows music like they created it, and with that said; a rocker need to be added as one of the judges to even up the playing field of judging talent. Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey and a Rocker' then you have the perfect combination. I absolutely loved Steven Tyler, too bad he's not returning.

    At least the rest of the people in this list have a musical background. She had that one joke song.

    And Kayne is my favorite rapper. But he is a rapper. Rappers shouldn't be judging a singing competition.

    Kanye's already proven he's prejudice... dissing Taylor Swift over Beyonce... if a white had done that to a black they certainly wouldn't have been considered for this pc post at American Idol...guess that's just one of the many reasons I don't watch the show anymore...getting too p.c.

    This show sucks now, and all the people listed (besides Brad, Keithj and Nick) are terrible. they should try some older singers, like maybe Reba.

    It's kind of hard to pick the worst in a list with so many losers, but Kanye beats out the others for his arrogance and narcissism. Kim looks good in the photo, but she has no talent, brains, and is about as shallow and empty as Kanye. Plus, she's looking more and more like a drag queen every day. Nick Jonas, Brad Paisley, and Enrique Iglesias are the three best.

    As much as I think Kayne West sucks....I wouldn't mind seeing how he acts in a very public position while actually sober.

    All the picks are down and out celebrities who will probably only do this to get a little more time in the spotlight. As for Kanye, as much as he sucks, I kind of still considered him a "current" singer, as in still releasing music that somehow garners widescale attention. Now that he's dating Kunt Kardashian and apparently even thinking about judging this show...I really hope that means he pushes himself into obscurity and early retirement as soon as possible and I REALLY hope he pulls that Kunt K slut along with him. Every time I see one of their retarded-looking, misshapen faces on TV I feel like punching them...in a way they might both be geniuses however, for somehow being capable of holding the whole world's attention despite a complete and utter lack of any discernible talent whatsoever.
