Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler have yet to sound contracts to judge the upcoming season of “American Idol.” So how could possibly be a replacement? Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert. E! News reports that the show and Lambert, who’s latest album hit No. 1 back in May, have been in talks for the singer to take a seat at the judges table. A source told the network that the talks have been going on for more than a month. Lambert is one of the show’s more popular contestants and his presence as a judge could boost the show.
