A parade of celebrity names has been teased as “American Idol” searches for judges to replace Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, who left the show within a day of each other last month. Jonas Brother Nick Jonas has confirmed via Twitter rumors that he is indeed in the running for the vacant seat.

If @nickjonas was a judge on Idol, I'd watch it. I stopped watching when Simon left, but he's a great reason to watch again. #nickonidol

Mariah Carey recently signed on for season 12 of the hit show and will join sole original panel member Randy Jackson. Jonas’ tweet could clear some of the fog from the selection process; celebrities ranging from Roseanne Barr to Leonard Nimoy to Snoop Dogg have lobbied for the vacant seat.
