New names are popping out all the time about who will be the next American Idol judge.  Right after Mariah Carey turned over quickly, two hot names have been brought out immediately.  Nick Jonas of the former Jonas Brothers and rapper Pharrell Williams.

According to Us Weekly, Jonas is nearly signed with the reality show.

The source revealed, "Nick is pretty close to signing to be the 'Idol' judge.  They flew him in to L.A. last week for final meetings."

Williams is reportedly also nearly confirmed to sit on the judge panel alongside Mariah Carey.

These are just rumors until Fox actually confirms.  There have been gossip about country stars Brad Paisley and Toby Keith possibly joining as well.

Big names and big paychecks seem to be the formula for talent competition shows these days.
