Overheard: Alanis Morissette open to 'Idol'At this point, we wouldn't be shocked if "American Idol" has reached out to you, dear reader, to judge the next season's competition. This list of "maybes" just keeps growing longer. One day it's Nick Jonas, then it's Nicki Minaj, then it's Brad Paisley or Keith Urban or Kanye West. And now, Alanis Morissette tells us that she, too, has had a conversation about sitting at that table.
While attending her Hollywood Rockwalk induction ceremony in Hollywood on Tuesday, Morissette said that she's talked about the possibility, but declined to get into details. "Yes, I have been in conversations about it, and that's the degree to which I can share the info right now," Morissette told CNN. But, she added, she is open to the idea of being an "Idol" judge. "I live to mentor, so my heart is much more open to the idea of that than even 10 years ago when I, perhaps, wasn't in a position to be able to offer much advice, solicited or otherwise," the singer continued. "[B]ut I love watching people and just getting really curious about what they want and what they need and what their goals are, and then I can support them. I would do it formally, for sure." Do you think "Idol" execs should consider Morissette for a seat next to confirmed new "Idol" judge Mariah Carey? Take a look at the other stars we'd like to see join the show in the gallery above.

her song "uninvited" a masterpiece in writing and singing.
i hate adele...alanis is a a fantastic writer an can't wait to see her when she heads to tour
Adele is soooooo amazing! I would love her in something like "Duets" where she mentors young talent. Come on over, Adele!
I will curb-stomp all your punk-a$$es
To 1%; What cold war decade were you afterbirthed into? The hammer and sickle?? Really! If you could read I would suggest you bone up on some political science so that you would have a chance of understanding that words like 'communist', 'socialist', 'capitalist' have very little impact these days; each nation including our own has crossed over these catch phrases with so many tire marks that they are quite blended in terms of the actual usage of the concepts. A country can greatly benefit by using the best of all these ideas and discarding the worst parts of them. But having knee jerk reactions to the words themselves is just ignorant.
I thought she had more class than that
Exactly what Idol needs, another whiny, talentless has-been...
Hilary Clinton would raise the Discount rate and make Bank America cleanup their messy act!
We need Obama to ask Hilary Clinton to take over as president!
Rockledge Enterprises is still doing land development and we need a Thinking Man in Whitehouse.
The light hat energizer will help Brain power.
I love Alanis and would love to see her on Idol... I might actually watch it, if she signs a contract to be one of the judges.
alanis is brilliant edgy and has been in the industry from the "alternative" angle..she would be "refreshing!"
How can these rappers be considered as a judge? Usuallly it take some type of musical talent to judge music.....
Hello folks. Everyone is cordially invited to visit – thestarofkaduri.com
So far, Mariah has been the smartest choice.
Michael j fox should be an idol judge..he's a class act
I think this is the real reason why Gene Simmons cancelled his Family Jewels show, he is going to be the new judge on Idol. Gene, Mariah and Randy?
would love to see her in concert.
JESUS H CHRIST WILL JUST FILL THE DAM SEAT???
Isn't she a known communist? What happens when she starts waving the hammer and sickle around? Anyone wailing revolutionary slogans will have an edge. If we give her an outlet then we legitimize her backward political views/values. It is inarguable that having her on the show(watched by millions of impressionable children), will shift it dangerously to the radical left.
I would like to see ajudge with much experience and has been in the game for quite sometime that will help in the naturing of new talents.thank u
Puleeeeze! I do NOT need to watch this one hit wonder breast feed her 6 year old kid while judging Idol wannabes
i want a tough judge
3 women judges? Ugh, 3 women could be a mistake.
Three women judges..that can lead ínto a catfight or two. They won't be able to talk over each other. Don't watch the show but, I would tune in to see hair extensions and nails flying off, etc. that would be awsome If we can vote ín who kícked the most a**. Wouldn't that be some roflmao moments?
What about Charlie Sheen as a judge? Offer him 1 million an episode. I'd definitly watch it. It would have beyond incredible ratings.
Me too. The ratings will certainly go up. lol
I think they should randomly pick 4 teenage girls to be the judges. The show would be more fun and much better. They could have a nationwide drawing, choose 4 girls at random, pay them $100,000 each plus a college scholarship. It would be incredibly popular.
Just gross. We need some color on AI. We need some real African Americans with talent. Why can't they get an old school gangsta rapper?
SNOOP !!! I Love Him !!!
