"The first official on-set photograph of the new American Idol judging lineup has been released. Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban were confirmed as new additions to the show&amp;#039;s panel today (September 16).   Mariah Carey, who was named as a new addition to the judging panel earlier this summer, also joined Randy Jackson and host Ryan Seacrest for filming in New York City. Urban joins the show having previously been a coach on The Voice Australia alongside Seal, Delta Goodrem and Good Charlotte&amp;#039;s Joel Madden. Carey was due to appear on The X Factor USA&amp;#039;s first season last year as Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s guest mentor at Judges&amp;#039; Houses, but was prevented from appearing by Hurricane Irene. American Idol is expected to return to Fox in early 2013. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
