Is the dawg leaving the pound? Really?
Mariah Carey is the only
American Idol judge officially lined up for next season.
Buzz has been big that Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban are front-runners for the vacated Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez seats. But what about Randy Jackson?
TMZ reports that he is "officially LEAVING the judge's table ... but will still remain a part of the show as a 'mentor.'"
Page Six says it has "confirmed" the news. No word from Fox yet.
