American Idol is coming back and there are reports that the panel of judges will include the show's first winner Kelly Clarkson.
ABC confirmed the news that it is bringing back the former Fox show and is beginning the search for judges and a host. TMZ reports that ABC has expressed "serious interest" in Clarkson and that the singer has been clearing her schedule to free up time to film auditions. It's strongly believed that Ryan Seacrest will return to host the show, especially now that he's employed by ABC.
