TV

The 'Famous' hitmaker is in negotiations with NBC to be a judge on the proposed revival of the singing competition.

AceShowbiz - Kanye West is reportedly in talks to join the proposed revival of "American Idol". Rumor has it, NBC is courting the "Gold Digger" rapper to convince him to join the judging panel on the singing competition and the network will stop at nothing to get him on board.

"Ryan Seacrest has put his name forward during his negotiations to come back as host and NBC are salivating over it," a source reveals, "Kanye is at the very top of the wish list, not Simon Cowell. If Ryan hosting can help get them Kanye, that's a happy result for NBC."

The source tells Radar Online, "Kanye's weighing the options and is even grilling Jennifer Lopez on what's involved. It's not an easy gig, but the offer he's got is proving to be very hard to refuse."

Representatives for Kanye and NBC haven't responded to a request for comment. "American Idol" ended its impressive 15-year run in April 2016.
