"American Idol" has its sights set on judge #2 for the reboot and all eyes are on Lionel Richie.
According to 'A.I.' sources, Richie's legendary music career makes him a perfect pick. Credibility and a knack for honing in on what will become popular. Richie is also extremely outgoing, which makes for good TV.
Katy Perry was paid $25 million which essentially blew their intended judge's budget. But how much can producers afford to pay Richie, or for that matter any judge who fills the vacant seats?
Also, Ryan Seacrest is about to sign a deal to host the new version for somewhere between $10M and $15M.
