Randy Jackson OUT-- American Idol

EXCLUSIVE: 'American Idol' -- Randy Jackson OUT AS A JUDGE

The dawg days are over at "American Idol" ... TMZ has learned Randy Jackson is officially LEAVING the judge's table ... but will still remain a part of the show as a "mentor." Sources connected to "Idol" tell us ... there's some concern among the brass that Jackon is not well-suited for the mentor role ... but they feel they need him because he's the glue that helps keep the show together. As for his replacement ... sources tell us Nicki Minaj's deal is 99% done ... but still not a sure thing just yet. We're told the honchos are keenly aware Mariah Carey isn't a fan of Minaj and doesn't want her at the table ... a fact producers LOVE because they think the conflict and tension will be good for the show. And ... we now know A.I. will once again go with a 4th judge ... we're told producers are gunning for someone from the country music world for the third seat. Seat number 4 is up in the air.Finally, altough "A.I." wanted Diddy or Kanye West ... we're told they are definitely out of the picture.Thiiiiis ... is getting intense.

Mariah Carey did a song with Nicki Minaj several years ago....I wonder why she no longer likes her? hmmm Could she be pissed at Nicki for collaborating with Madonna earlier this year? Or more likely,is she afraid that the younger,sexy Minaj will steal the show? After all,Niki is really "hot" right now.

Oh please....she was on Twitter last week,trying to "lobby" the producers to hire her pal Lenny Kravitz.She clearly doesn't want Niki Minaj on board.She wants Lenny instead,because he doesn't pose a threat.

all of these shows have some type of issue honestly keeping me interested !

I havnt watched AI in ages - because the beginning shows are entertaining ... but later ... i think the show gets boring . Who wants to sing some "wannabe" sing "dont let the sun go down on me" as a reggae tune or whatever they conjure up ....

I would rather see some rejects and laugh with steven tyler or Randy etc ...

I am a howard stern show fan also - but the same thing with that show - i kinda tuned out altho i did catch alittle last night of a re run ...

confused confused

Colonel Angus may be smelly. colonel angus may be a little rough . but deep down ... Colonel angus is very sweet.

The immoveable object of Randy Jackson's bland, fat ass in that judge's chair meets the unstoppble force of free-falling Idol ratings.

Believe it or not that was just 3 years ago. I had actually forgotten about this

redundant r&b/rap collabo that Mariah does. As far as the whole AI thing, i'm

not a Nikki Minaj fan at all but hell if they can have JLo then why not Nikki. It's

probably even a calculated move to get more viewers.

I would love for P to do AI, but he's too much of a music snob to even consider it lol.

I just love it every time I hear about a judge quitting, especially one of the original ones, because that means the show keeps getting closer and closer to it's eventual end. evillol

Andy is a four letter word.

He needs his ass beat for even performing on the show, let alone judging it.

RANDY JACKSON
Gets Reprieve
on 'American Idol'

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS
0911_american_idol_judges_article_getty_tmz_2
Randy Jackson is staying at the judge's table on "American Idol" ... after negotiations with Enrique Iglesias fizzled out.

Sources tell TMZ ... Jackson is very close to signing his deal ... after producers initially tried to move the dawg away from the judge's table and use him as a "mentor." We're told Jackson wasn't too pleased with those plans.

But now, with Iglesias seemingly out of the picture ... and auditions starting in a just a few days ... producers need to get a famous ass in the seat ... and they know Jackson can get the job done.

As for the other 3 seats -- Mariah Carey is already locked in ... and sources tell us negotiations with Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj could be finalized any minute.

Clock's ticking ... auditions for the 12th installment of the show begin in less than two weeks.

The Voice: Australia season 2 airs roughly at the same time as American Idol season 12. Will Keith Urban leave the all star panel of Delta Goodrem, Seal, and Joel Madden for these American nobodies? hmmm
