Music, Gossip, & More: Jennifer Hudson

According to E! Online, Jennifer Hudson has signed on to be a judge for season 13 of American Idol. Reportedly, the other two vacant judges spots expected to be filled by former Idol contestants’ Kelly Clarkson and either Adam Lambert or Clay Aiken. The question remains will the shake-up generate high ratings for the show. Most die-hard fans believe if Simon Cowell return, then viewership will increase. Hopefully, this new line-up will turns things around for the show.

Recently, X-Factor announced that Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio will be added to the judges’ panel for season 3 of the show. Filming for the upcoming season kicked off last week in Charleston, South Carolina. Reportedly, the theme this year is girl power. Cowell appears to be happy with the new line-up, but will this change create ratings gold?
