The wait to find out the next judges on "American Idol" may be just about over. After talking to a number of candidates that reportedly include Elton John, Jessica Simpson, and Justin Timberlake, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that we may just be about at decision time.

A source had this to say about the matter to the magazine:

“The network’s dream scenario would be to make a splashy announcement at TCA on Monday morning. They’d be the talk of TCA, and the message to other networks would essentially be, ‘Follow that!’”

There hasn't really been too much word on how many people Fox has talked to since the search began, but their first interviews with Timberlake and Elton were reportedly months ago.

Who are you pulling for to be the new judges?
