Adam Lambert to become an American Idol judge?


Rumors have been swirling for months about changes to American Idol for next season.

Early reports suggested that Jennifer Lopez may not return as a judge, focusing her energies instead on her music and television producer duties.

And, while the status of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson isn’t known, a new name has popped up: Adam Lambert.

E! News reports that sources say the program has been in talks with Lambert for the past month.

"He personifies the show, and will be a popular choice right from the start,” says the source. “He knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of the judges' comments, he has a human touch, and they know they can't go wrong if they bring him on. He would be able to bring a unique perspective to the show. People love him."

Lambert was the runner-up on season 8 of the series, placing second to Idol winner Kris Allen.

Adam released his sophomore album, “Trespassing,” earlier this spring, and he’s joined rock legends Queen for a series of five concerts – including three sold-out shows at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London this week (July 11, 12 and 14).
