According to the source, Idol producers have also had discussions with Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, will.i.am, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and Rodney Jerkins to fill the vacant seat on the Fox reality singing competition's upcoming judging panel.

However, Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend Casper Smart seemed to accidentally reveal the former judge will return and be back in the mix for the coming season recently.
