It seems to be that Alanis Morissette might be the next American Idol judge on its Season 12.

The rock queen revealed that she’s in talks to sign the coveted judging panel.  “I’m in talks with somebody right now,” she said somewhat cryptically. “I can’t name any names, but I’m pretty excited at the thought of doing it more formally. I still have to investigate further, that’s all I can say.”

Mariah Carey and Alanis Morissette, both have new albums to promote.  The later’s new album is entitled ‘Havoc and Bright Lights’ and is due to hit shelves on August 28 while Carey’s single is ‘ Triumphant (Get ‘Em)’.

Will Morissette get this judging chair?  I’ve heard that that Snoop Lion (formerly known as Snoop Dogg), Diddy and Pharrell Williams are in talks to join the show, and Nick Jonas confirmed that he’s close to sealing his own deal.
