Nicki confirmed she will be leaving American Idol just moments after Mariah, tweeting:
- Nigel Lythgoe Has Win in 'All American Girl' Sex Assault Lawsuit: 'I Expect That This Will be the First of Many Similar Wins,' Embattled Producer Tells Radar
- Nigel Lythgoe Demands Sexual Assault Accuser Be Forced to Reveal Her Identity, Argues Defense is 'Handicapped' if She's Allowed Anonymity
- Nigel Lythgoe Bulldozes 'All-American Girl' Groping Claims, Cites 'Tremendously Disappointing' Ratings and Heart Attack to Back Up Denial
The only judge left from last season is Keith Urban, who has yet to discuss whether he will be back for another season.
There’s a major shakeup in store on Idol with producer Nigel Lythgoe looking to rid all four judges and replace them with a “dream team” that includes Justin Bieber , Pink, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Selena Gomez, RadarOnline.com exclusively reported.
