So the official line up was announced yesterday as to who will be joining Mariah Carey as a judge on American Idol, and let's just say after this season ends, the EP's will be cleaning house with countless fireations. Joining Mimi will be Keith Urban, Nicki Garbaj and returning judge Randy Jackson, who at one point was demoted as a mentor before producers had to scramble quick and rehire him, due to the fact that far more qualified celebs smartly turned down this trainwreck in the making.
We all know that Mimi is getting a reported $18 million for one season, but word on the street is that Nicki is getting $8 million, and Keith is banking $4 million. Nicki will also get additional allowances to keep up her clown get-up, with producers throwing cash her way for hair, make up and wardrobe.
Outside of all the ridiculous pomp and circumstance, it's actually the photo that is cracking me up, Mimi doing everything in her power to not let her sheer hatred for her new co-judges show through her fake smile while Nicki's dusty Goodwill wig sucks up all the overhead lighting in the room.
Like I said the minute I heard Katie Couric reveal to J Lo the official line up during their interview on Friday, I truly believe that AI has signed their death warrant, because Randy never has an opinion beyond calling someone pitchy, Mimi wanted to be the only one to give cuckoo cray cray but now she will be upstaged by Nicki's many faux personalities, and I've never heard Keith speak. He always comes off as plastic on the red carpet next to his wife Nicole Kidman and you can't get no more plastic than her. And do you all remember Nicki's ratched performance of Starships when she performed the song at the AI results show last season? She has no stage presence, and she can't sing without the help of auto tune. So how the hell is she qualified to host a singing show? This is all a desperate ploy for ratings, and I believe while the show got away with having weak singers like J Lo and Paula Abdul as judges, viewers will see through this new line up and bail faster than you can say Ellen Degeneres.
