<h3>Keith Urban Fills Third Judge Seat On <em>American Idol</em>.</h3>
<p><strong><em>American Idol</em></strong> producers have been hankering to get a country music star on the show, and it looks like they are getting exactly what they want in <strong><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7312042-10874555" target="_top">Keith Urban </a><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-7312042-10874555" width="1" height="1" border="0"/></strong>! Reports are flying all over the place suggesting that Urban is filling the third spot at the judges panel on the long running and extremely popular reality competition series. </p>
<p>Neither an official press release or statement has been released by Urban&#8217;s reps, but<br />
<a href="http://www.thecountryvibe.com/Blog1/?p=24071">The Country Vibe</a> is siting &#8220;sources&#8221; suggesting that its a done deal and <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/idol-worship/american-idol-nicki-minaj-keith-urban-judges-365339">The Hollywood Reporter</a> seems to have similar &#8220;sources&#8221; with all kinds of insider knowledge! So, I&#8217;m going to go ahead and take all this with a grain of salt, but at the end of the day, I won&#8217;t be at all surprised if Keith takes over that third seat at the start of the next season. </p>
<p>Rumor has it that <strong><a title="Brad Paisley" href="https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/1224809/264167/4272?subId1=WPScmnbBPaisley&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fbrad-paisley-tickets%2Fartist%2F714837&partnerpropertyid=5213910&MediaPartnerPropertyId=5213910">Brad Paisley</a></strong> was in talks with <em>Idol</em> producers but bowed out when they couldn&#8217;t agree on a price tag (<em>Apparently, Paisley wanted to match Nicki Minaj&#8217;s $8 million paycheck</em>). So far, long reigning pop diva Mariah Carey is confirmed and Minaj is finalizing her deal with the show. Either way, it looks like these new judges might just make <em>American Idol</em> interesting again. </p>
