Nick Jonas wants to judge for ‘American Idol’

Nick Jonas, of the boy band The Jonas Brothers, may fill in one of the two vacant seats at the “American Idol” judging panel. The 19-year-old “SOS” singer tweeted, “The rumors are true … I am being considered to be a judge on American Idol … And it would be a dream come true if it happens. #nickonidol.”

Singer Mariah Carey was confirmed as a new judge July 20, with sources revealing that the 42-year-old “Hero” singer will earn a whopping $18 million a year. Both Jonas and rapper-producer Pharrell Williams are likely contenders to take the place of Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson.
