It’s official: Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban are the new “American Idol” judges.Fox announced Sunday that the colorful hip-hop star and the country singer would join Mariah Carey as first-time judges when the show returns this winter. It also cleared up another rumor by announcing that Randy Jackson, who has been with the show since the beginning, will return as a judge. It is rumored that Nicki Minaj would earn $12 million for her contract. I wonder how Pepsi feels about this? “I’m looking forward to working with everyone and to seeing the same passion that I have for music in all of the participants,” Urban said. The singer announced last week that he would not return for the second season of the Australian version of “The Voice.”
