Shania Twain a J. Lo alternate?, Jordin Sparks on Broadway, Kellie Pickler's wedding plans

shania-twain-getty.jpgYour daily dose of "American Idol" news, served up in sample-sized bites:

With Jennifer Lopez supposedly out of the running to be an "Idol" judge next season, the next name getting tossed in the rumor mill is Shania Twain. You'll recall she was a guest judge during the audition phase last season and later served as a mentor for the top six. [TMZ]

Jordin Sparks makes her Broadway debut in "In the Heights" next week, and she gives a backstage tour of the Richard Rodgers Theater where she'll be performing. [Broadway World]

Kellie Pickler's wedding plans include no dancing at the reception -- because when husband-to-be Kyle Jacobs dances, he "just sways back and forth and snaps his finger[s]." The couple also plans to have their pets at the ceremony. [People]

Season 7 "Idol" semifinalist Asia'h Epperson was arrested earlier this week after a bathroom fight at an L.A. club. Epperson says she was the one who was attacked -- and oh by the way, she's working on an album. [TMZ]

Season 8 winner Kris Allen's wife, Katy, is stepping into the spotlight as star of "The Bloodstone Diaries," a web series whose producers hope to get a shot at adapting it for television. [KARK-TV]

Seriously, the season doesn't start until January. Keep this up and you'll easily be able to run every single active musical artist in the world through this judging "rumor mill" by then. Honestly, who doesn't think they just have people scanning comment sections of news articles and blog posts for people's opinions on who it should be, and then run stories with THAT person's name?

I love Shania. She's an amazing talent. I think she's perfect. I'm getting tired of this rumor mill. I wish FOX would just make the announcement already.

We need Shania! AI needs Shania! Please make a decision!!!

uhmmm yes please!!! Shania's amazing!!

Shania would be a great addition to the Idol judges table, but hold on to Kara DioGuardi, I really like her she adds spice.
