TMZ 40 minutes ago!
Keith Urban is in deep negotiations with "American Idol" but the deal has NOT been signed ... TMZ has learned.
"Idol" sources tell us, the country singer is in the final negotiation stages with producers to take the third judging spot on the show -- alongside Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, who replaced Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.
Keith will be replacing Randy Jackson -- but he hasn't officially signed the dotted line just yet. He's still working out a few contract kinks, but it's pretty much a lock.
He'll be receiving roughly $3-4 million for his hard work -- about half what Nicki Minaj is expected to make ... and a paltry fraction of Mariah's $18 million paycheck.
As we previously reported, there will be a 4th judge this season, but we're told no one has been picked for that spot. But here's what we do know ... "Idol" honchos want a man for the 4th spot, because they don 't think this show will work with 2 women and a man.

TMZ et al has a moratorium on speculation on the 4th slot. They are keeping it very quiet, I think Adam has this.
I hope so anyway.

I want to know, too, I think I know, but not sure how it relates to the AI conversation

It is a reference to a Steven Spielberg film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, in which the main character uses a pile of mash potatoes to construct a mountain that was his location of destiny. It is used as a symbol of prognosticating the future.

Someone who understands this better should explain, but here is the mashed potato reference:
