It was recently revealed that the folks behind 'American Idol' were planning to wipe their entire judges table clean and start anew admist plummeting ratings. But with the series at a personal all-time low, could a past 'Idol' standout reinvigorate it? It's been revealed that former contestant and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson has signed on as judge for the next season.

American Idol is winding down for 2013. Season 13 in the ratings has been slightly lower than previous years but still good for TV ratings. If it’s back for season 14, Randy Jackson won’t be part of it. If I were a betting man, I’d say Mariah Carey will be out too. Why? Because of the stunt or leaked info about wanting Jennifer Lopez back over Mariah earlier this season.
'American Idol' used to be the hottest show on television, but after 13 years, it's starting to show its age. The show's ratings have slipped from regularly having 30 million viewers to now somewhere around 11 million. And though the show has had some different judges over the course of its run, it's now looking to ditch all four current judges to have a fresh face for season 13.
On tonight's episode (April 25) of 'American Idol,' no one was eliminated from the Top 4, which is comprised of all girls. And no, the judges didn't spend the sole season save, either. The show has built an extra week into production schedule to account for the usage of the save, but since the judges never applied it this season, the producers sorta did.
We've gotten heavily invested in A&E's ongoing original series, with a second season of 'Bates Motel' already ordered, 'Longmire' season 2 soon to start and eventually Chloe Sevigny's 'Those Who Kill,' but it's the cable network's reality series 'Duck Dynasty' that really brings home the...well, duck. The ratings for the reality series third season finale drew A&E's highest ratings ever, nearly beating out 'American Idol,' while remaining cable's number 1 series behind 'The Walking Dead.' Read all about 'Duck Dynasty's' massive success inside!
On Wednesday’s episode of ‘American Idol’ (April 24), the remaining four contestants took on two songs each — a personal selection and a one-hit wonder — plus a duet.
Clay Aiken, one of the most beloved alums in 'American Idol' history, came home tonight (April 18). The singer, who didn't win Season 2, losing by a tiny (124,000 votes, actually) margin to Ruben Studdard, returned to the show's stage to perform his rendition of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.' He performed it when he competed and it still has that Clay touch.
Fantasia Barrino, the Season 3 winner of 'American Idol,' stepped on the stage tonight (April 18) to perform her new single, the sprawling, expansive ballad 'Lose to Win.' She looked every inch the diva in her one-shouldered, white goddess gown, which showed off her chest tattoo. That's 'Tasia -- beautiful but edgy, a diamond in the rough.
