Big News for American Idol Fans!




It's been quite the season for American Idol! From riffs between dueling judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, to long time judge Randy Jackson announcing his departure, the show is making quite the transformation. Rumors swirled of who the new judges would be, and now we can finally confirm, that the diva-lious Ms. Jennifer Lopez will be returning for Season 13 of the popular show.

Jenny from the Block will be joined by Keith Urban, however no word of any other judges have been confirmed. The news comes to the public after Lopez's long time boyfriend let the cat out of the bag in a recent interview with E! Online news. Fox reps are yet to make an official announcement of J.LO's return to the singing competition, but they did confirm that she was in talks of a multi-million dollar deal. 
Along with a clean slate of judges, the show has given the boot to long-time executive producers Nigel Lythgoe, and Ken Warick, and have recruited new, fresh thinkers to add some spice to the show. 

Fox head honcho Kevin Reilly says, "[The new producers have] come in with dynamic ideas to tinker with the format between the auditions and the live ... We want some judges that are good at the job, that people like, that will refocus our attention on the contestants. We want some comfortable judges who make it comfortable to view and make it comfortable for the contestants."

Auditions for Season 13 are currently underway, and the show returns to Fox in the winter of 2014.

Simon Cowell In Some Serious Baby Mama Drama!

Bet Simon's so-called friend won't be smiling at this announcement!


Music mastermind Simon Cowell, 53 and girlfriend, NYC Socialite Lauren Silverman, 36, are expecting a baby, according to sources.

The notoriously hard-nosed 'American Idol' judge has candidly spoken on parenthood in the past claiming that he was not fit for diaper duty, nor did he have any interest in doing so. In 2009 he advised, "God, no. I couldn't have children. If I had them here drawing on the walls I'd go nuts.You've got to be up at a certain time. Got to listen. When all you want to do is sit in a corner thinking."

However in recent years, he's been singing a different tune (no pun intended), expressing his love for children, but stating that his schedule and age could make that desire impossible. Guess he has no choice now!

Apart of from Simon's disinterest producing offspring, there's another twist to his story- Simon's baby mama is actually still married...to his close friend, and real estate mogul Andrew Silverman...we even needed a moment to digest that one! Well, in actuality, the Silvermans are estranged, and are in the process of divorcing, but the fact remains that the pair is still hitched.

While the news is still yet to be confirmed from Simon's folks, multiple sources have confirmed that Lauren is about 10 weeks along.

We knew Simon was quite the playboy, but we didn't know that he had enough charm to take someone's wife! Not to mention, his friend's wife..

Someone call Maury because this one is definitely messy!
