In reports from my sources, all four of the “American Idol” judges: Simon Cowell,Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson,and the new comer Kara DioGuardi will be returning for the upcoming 9th season of “American Idol”. There had been some speculation if they would all return.

Paula had stated in an interview that she was unsure when asked, stating it was pending negotiations. And Kara DioGuardi had only signed a one year 8th season contract,and it was unsure if it would be renewed. Also having four judges slowed down the show’s running time last season which lead to some more uncertainty for Kara DioGuardi’s future on the show. But, in spite of all that negative speculation, it’s reported that Paula and Kara’s contracts are going to be finalized in the next few weeks. FOX is supposed to make the announcement next month.
