Fox recently announced that Mariah Carey would be joining the American Idol judges for this year’s upcoming season, but the rest of the judges spots have not been solidified.  With both Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler leaving the show, there is still another available spot at the judges’ table.  S2S Magazine reports Toni Braxton may be the next to join the cast of Idol:

“American Idol” might be making history by having not one, but two Black judges in its upcoming season.

The most recent casting rumor has singer and reality star Toni Braxton taking the place of exiting judge Steven Tyler. If Toni joins the lineup alongside newly announced judge Mariah Carey, this will be the first time ever that there have been two Black women judging as regulars on the series.
