Because wow. If that photo weren’t pulled right from Miley‘s Twitter, featuring Miley’s very distinctive hair and dog, then I totally would have said, “Wow, Selena Gomez. You’re looking a lot like Miley Cyrus these days, girl.”
In related Miley news, we might be looking at girlfriend on this new season of ‘American Idol’. How about it? Along with Miley, others are tapped to be the next judges, including Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, and will.i.am. From E!:
Sources confirm exclusively that along with Adam Lambert (a story we reported earlier today), Idol’s big bosses are also considering some other notable names to join the cast, including: Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, Katy Perry and (frequent A.I. mentor) will.i.am.
So how many new judges will there be? And who’s most likely to get the gig?
“No one has signed any contracts yet and producers are currently putting out feelers and setting up meetings to see who they can get,” one Idol insider tells me. “We won’t know if Randy [Jackson] and Steven [Tyler] are returning until they see who else is on board.”
A rep for Fox declined to comment for this story.
According to sources, the American Idol higher-ups all agree they want Jennifer Lopez back, however, as we previously reported, the megastar isn’t planning to return. And while we are told Idol’s big bosses are fans of Randy and Steven, they also would like to breathe some new (possibly younger) life into the series to compete with X Factor, which recently cast Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.
Interesting. Especially since it was such a big thing that “big” star Britney Spears was tapped for ‘X-Factor’. If people like Miley and/or Katy Perry take on ‘American Idol’, it’s definitely going to be a battle of the ratings, because come on. ‘American Idol’ didn’t stand a chance against Britney Spears and ‘X-Factor’ with Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, I’m sorry.
Who are you guys pulling for?
