Kanye West in talks to be ‘Idol’ judge

The “American Idol” celebrity judge roster is becoming more interesting than the show itself — Kanye West is rumored to be negotiating with “American Idol” producers to sit on the judges table.

A source informed TMZ that “Idol” execs have reached out to West about filling a spot.

Yeezy has reportedly expressed interest but is “on the fence.”

But Fox would allegedly have to provide Kim Kardashian’s beau a big payday.

The site says his salary would have to match confirmed judge Mariah Carey’s contract: a cool $18 million a year.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is reportedly close to signing a deal for a seat.

West’s camp has not responded.
