  • Kanye West is the latest name being thrown into the mix to join American Idol next season, TMZ.com reports.

    The producers reportedly reached out to West about the judging gig. Although he expressed interest, West is unsure about signing on, according to TMZ. The report also suggests that Fox would have to fork out at least $18 million to West in order to match Mariah Carey's salary. Fox had no comment on the report.
