Jennifer Hudson has signed up to be an 'American Idol' judge.

The Oscar-winning actress-and-singer has been confirmed as one of the panellists for season 13 of the reality TV competition, according to E! News.

Taylor Swift led the winners at the Billboard Music Awards last night (19.05.13), taking home eight prizes.

The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker - who is known for her turbulent love life and relationships with stars including Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer - paid tribute to her loyal fans as she picked up the evening's top honour, the coveted Artist of the Year prize.

Insiders believe 'American Idol' will struggle to attract A-List judges next season.

While Randy Jackson has quit and producers are reportedly hoping to replace his fellow judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban to boost falling ratings next year, insiders believe they won't find it easy to attract top talent.

Nicki Minaj is set to quit 'American Idol' after one season.

The 'Moment For Life' singer has reportedly decided not to return to the reality show's judging panel because she wants to focus on her own music career.
