LOS ANGELES : Country singer Keith Urban will be returning to “American Idol” as a judge when the Fox singing contest returns for its 13th season next year, Fox Broadcasting Company said on Thursday. “I will confirm one thing, Keith is going to return to the show, you could see how much he loved the show,” Kevin Reilly, chairman of entertainment at Fox told reporters at a Television Critics Association meeting. “Idol,” once a ratings juggernaut for Fox, has slumped in recent years and is in the midst of revamping its judging panel after high-priced talent Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj failed to boost viewership last season. –Reuters
