Ryan tweeted about Nigel Lythgoe returning to American Idol; something he’ll hopefully talk about in more detail on his radio show. Ryan spoke with Nigel on Friday’s On-Air with Ryan Seacrest and played a clip of Nigel’s Freudian slip on So You Think You Can Dance, calling the show American Idol by mistake. Although Ryan asked Nigel if he could confirm his return, at that point, Nigel had last weekend’s National Dance Day to promote and didn’t want American Idol to be the focus of all questions.
The big shake-up for American Idol season 10 continues: yesterday it was announced that Idol has moved its recording deal for winners and finalists to Universal after a long relationship with Sony. There’s still no confirmation on who the new judges will be, whether there’ll be three or four, and whether Kara and Randy are staying, but it won’t be long now as the producers’ audition rounds are well underway and the judges’ audition round is due to start next month.
