Miley Cyrus will indeed be gracing the boob tube with her new 'do, but it won't be at the American Idol judge's table.

After being approached earlier this summer as a possible replacement for Jennifer Lopez, Miley is no longer in the running for a vacant Idol judge's spot.

Sources confirm exclusively to E! News that she was approached for the Idol gig, but talks never went far and Miley never seriously considered it.

But, disappointed fans can still get a dose of Miley on TV this fall! She has signed on for a guest role on Two and a Half Men for the upcoming season and continues to work on her first post-Disney album.

As for the latest in the American Idol shake-up? Sources confirm to E! News that Nicki Minaj is "definitely" joining the reality competition show. Mariah Carey is also confirmed as a judge for the upcoming season.

Tell us: Are you sad Miley is out of the Idol running? Who do you want to see fill the vacant Idol judge's seat in January?
