Queen Latifah is said to have been approached to fill Paula Abdul's shoes on American Idol. But the larger-than-life queen of rap is not the only celebrity in the running for the spot.

Other stars said to have put their hands up include Cyndi Lauper, Tiffany and Belinda Carlisle. But a rumour that Jennifer Lopez is in negotiations for the show is false, with her representative scotching the rumour. Even a return by Abdul herself is said to be hoped for by many. One of the judges on the show, Kara DioGuardi, said: "The way I'm understanding it is that it was her choice to leave. I never was here to replace her. It would be impossible to replace Paula Abdul. She's an incredible talent. She is somebody who helped make the show as big as it is. How could you ever replace that? "If anything, she was really somebody who helped me because it was awkward at times being the fourth person."
