“American Idol” has grown longer with the 42-year old, P. Diddy being rumored as a contender. New York Post’s Page Six claims to have learned that producers of the FOX reality series have reached out to the New York-born MC about the possibility of him taking one of the judge seats. Pink recently revealed that she was offered to be a judge on “American Idol”, “The X Factor (US)” and Australian “The Voice”, but said no. “I said no because you can’t be honest. People will hate you if you’re honest,” she told Australia’s Herald Sun about her reason turning down the job.
She continued explaining, “Simon Cowell is the only person who gets away with it because he’s got an accent. And he’s a man. People would just hate me more than they already do. I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings. Besides, you can sing karaoke anywhere…” The twelfth cycle of “American Idol” will premiere in early 2013 with Ryan Seacrest returning as the host. Mariah Carey has signed up to be a new judge, but Randy Jackson’s fate on the show is still up in the air. I can see Diddy taking the contestants and “Making The Band” with them! LOL.
