    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?

    Kanye may be a moron, but he's a talented moron. Nikki Minaj is not talented and a moron. She has no place judging other people's talent.

    Let me see if I have this right. The guy who grabbed the microphone out of the hand of an award winner and said she didn't deserve it is going to be a judge ? Are they going to put up a fence between the judges and the contestants so he can't grab it out of one of their hands after being praised by one of the other judges ? Maybe just have security ready to tackle him if he heads for the stage ? I would definately pay to see that !!!!!

    kanye gets so much hate because he's an arrogant douche but the man is talented and knows music. he would be a good judge. nicki minaj is garbage and kim kardashian isnt even a musician. those two are a joke.

    Kim does sing, may not have the best voice but i think shr should be given a chance. Kanye on the other hand is a pig and doesnt know the meaning of the word respect.

    I don't like country music, but I think what he did to Taylor Swift was mean.... which in my opinon, if you were good or not he would not give you chance if he did like .... your type of music (sugar coded that a little bit)........ he's such a sour puss

    she is a copy of an original... nothing about her is unique or her own, not even her A$$... Lil Kim was the original Black Barbie.. had that same style clothing and hair.. the only difference is that Lil Kim had talent...more talent than Niki's "mufukin left thumb" thats for sure.. her lyrics made sense.. and they were harder, and more real than niki's lyrics which simply state the obvious.. her lyrics tell you things that are allready clearly known.. like "hang it up ; flat screen"... or "you used to be hair; now ya gone; nair"... come on now... lol wheres the talent??? Im gonna end this with a quote from Lil-kim and with a stab at Niki... "Youz a air head bytch; scarecrow"....... lmao

    If he becomes a judge no one but nonwhites with huge rears would have a chance. He hates white people and likes enormous rear ends, so, just saying..........................
    Next worst would be Kim Kardashian, since she knows as much about singing as she does about morality.

    Having rappers judge singers is like having poets judge musicians. They may be good in their areas of expertise but poor judges of musical ability.

    every time a winner is about to be announced he would jump on the stage and accuse the rest of the judges of being racist
