Britney Spears joined "X-Factor," and now rival divas Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Fergie are all in the running to be cast on "American Idol" as judges, according to a report.
Along with the female pop stars, Adam Lambert and Will.i.am are also being considered by "Idol" bosses as new blood for the show, E! online reports. The Web site says that producers want Jennifer Lopez to return as a judge, but she has not committed.
"No one has signed any contracts yet and producers are currently putting out feelers and setting up meetings to see who they can get," an "Idol" insider told E! "We won't know if Randy [Jackson] and Steven [Tyler] are returning until they see who else is on board."

E! reports that "American Idol" brass agree they want Lopez back. But that the singer has said via Twitter she hasn't made up her mind whether she'll return for another season.
Producers of the show, "would like to breathe some new (possibly younger) life into the series to compete with 'X Factor,' which recently cast Britney Spears and Demi Lovato."
Auditions for a twelfth season of "Idol" are currently taking place in rounds with producers of the show present and no judges.
