Fox is
set to make major on-air changes to "Idol," the most notable of which
will be an entirely new judging panel. New judges pop icon Mariah Carey,
rapper Nicki Minaj and country star Keith Urban won't be back.
Even
original judge Randy Jackson won't survive the blood bath this time
around.
A Fox spokesperson declined to comment for this story.
All four judges have options to return for another season, but Fox
won't be picking them up, according to the knowledgeable individual, who
said: "No more big checks for divas."
The network has resolved to stop paying the huge salaries it has been
shoveling out for its big name talent, i.e. Carey's reported $18
million package, Minaj's $12 million salary and former judge Jennifer
Lopez's $15 million.
