Katy To Join Idol

Filed under: American Idol > Katy Perry

With Paula Abdul officially out of her American Idol gig, there leaves an open seat at the judges panel.

The execs are refusing to leave it open and so along with a dedicated search for a replacement, the show will also feature some very special guests judges.

We already mentioned that Victoria Beckham will be on the show, but now there's even better news and it's that Katy Perry will be appearing on the show!!!

Yay! What will she say? What will she wear?!

We're pretty excited about it!

Are U?

    2. 2

      she'd be a perfect trainwreck replacement for paula

      /care
      sick of that stupid "Idol"



    7. 7

      You've got to be kidding? Like she is experienced enough to judge others?



    8. 8

      Yay! Katy Perry! My favorite overplayed, overhyped, overrated, extremely annoying "musician" who's name is not Lady GaGa!



    9. 9

      Great a terrible singer judging a singing competition. Who watches this crap show anymore anyway. I stopped watching after Taylor Hicks won.



    10. 10

      I dont even watch this stupid show but if I did, I would not want tune in to see viktoria beckham. I would rather see someone like kilie minogue or janice dickinson.



    12. 12

      Fuck AI, Jon and Kate, Jonas and all the other bullshit you're reporting.

      JOHN HUGHES DIED. Get with it dipshit.



    13. 13

      john hughes died!



    14. 14

      Kick Randy "Fat" Dawg of the bloody show, he's an absolute wanker



    15. 15

      I LOVE KATY PERRY! YESSSSS! But is she a permanent judge this season, or just a guest judge?



    16. 16

      I miss Paula…get rid of Kara and bring back the original move. I think American Idol is going to be hurting after this.



    17. 17

      fuck off mario only you care what your wifey and katy perry wear,gtfo



    18. 18

      I think they should only keep the judging panel down to three. 4 is a crowd!



    19. 19

      I WILL NOT WATCH WITHOUT PAULA UNLESS THEY BRING JESSICA SIMPSON OF COURSE . BUT KATE WHO THE HELL IS SHE NO1. THE RATINGS WILL DROP FOR SURE



    20. 20

      Katy perry stole the title "i kissed a girl" from a 90's songwriter jill sobulo - "in truth, she wrote it with a team of professional writers and was signed by the very same guy that signed me in 1995."
      "‘F*** you Katy Perry, you f***ing stupid, maybe “not good for the gays”, title thieving, haven't heard much else, so not quite sure if you're talented, f***ing little slut.".



    21. 21

      Posh AND Perry?? Who's next, Lady Gag Gag? I can't sing either, can I be a judge?



    22. 22

      WTF!! Victoria Beckman! nough of this tard already!!ok pigface!



    23. 23

      Katy Perry is Perfect!



    24. 24

      Well they've found another no talent to sit on that panel and act like a jackass for an hour so good luck to her I guess. Paula goes down as one of the fucking stupidest has beens. In a years time she'll be offering them 8 million to have the stupid job back. American Idol is a joke any way. Always has been.



    25. 25

      Ugh katie Perry? she has the worst voice everrr..how about past american idol winners/contestants as guest judges?? why do they keep fucking shit up? I hate katie perry and victoria beckem has no business judgin american idol…this show has really gone to shit…The one person that should replace Paula is CYNDI LAUPER!! Bring it on bitches!!



    26. 26

      Re: DALE

      Amen I know….remember when she performed on Idol with that dumb ass cape sounding like a dying ostrich. IF THAT PERSON IS JUDGING AMERICAN IDOL THEN THE SHOW WILL OFFICIALLY "JUMP THE SHARK" in a really crappy way.



    27. 27

      Idol Sucks, it needs to go away.



    28. 28

      My Perezcious MUST be made a guest judge. That way he can immediately "out" anyone whose gender or preferences are ambiguous.



    29. 29

      I refuse to watch AI anymore. If they are going to toss Paula so easily after she has been there so long then it shows what type of people they are. Where's the loyality these days?? Hello ~ she's been on the show since day one….



    30. 30

      And there goes Idol… rolling another 200 country miles past the Point of No Return.



    31. 31

      She's talent-less and is ripping off GAGA and Britney because she has nothing else to do… Talent-less skank

    32. 32

      Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!Go Katy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now We Just Need Lagy Gaga and Everything Will Swell Without Paula, But She Will Be Missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    33. 33

      In with the new, out with the OLD — er, Paula Abdul.

      Sorry, Paula, but TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS A SEASON TO LISTEN TO YOU SAY 'UMMMMMM — THAT WAS REALLY GREAT AND MADE ME DANCE !" isn't worth it to me either !!

      BUH-BYE PAULA !

      But, BARF OUT - VICTORIA BECKHAM ? A VAIN NO TALENT ALSO ?

      Go figure — it's HOLLYWOOD !!



    34. 34

      What!
      What happened to Paula?



    35. 35

      I refuse to watch a show that kept Kara DioGuaDon't and axed Paula!



    36. 36

      just saw katy perry open for no doubt a few nights ago. she was awful. her voice is mediocre at beat and she has absalutely no stage presence. only 3 songs out of her entire set sounded decent. victoria beckam and katy perry judging a singing competion? hollywood really does suck. course paula cant sing either so i guess u dont really need to sing to judge singers. so sad.



    37. 37

      Can't they get talented people…and I don't mean studio made….where are the truly talented guest judges?
      .
      So far, you have an un-smiling, nose-in-the-air toothpick who doesn't sing (yeah, Spice Girls doesn't count), and a studio made singer with terrible style who wouldn't know a performace if it bit her in the trying-too-hard-for-attention ass!

      No. They should have gotten rid of Kara and given Paula what she wanted. She helped create the show right along with Simon and should get her due. Why is that women still continue to lag behind men regarding pay?



    39. 39

      who cares



    40. 40

      ew I,ll not be watching the night that mousey looking Beckham is on ewwwwwww..why???????why????? why???????????????



    41. 41

      Re: Sensitivity – hahaha! Thats what I say too!!



    42. 42

      Nope. Paula was a big part of the show. AI is stupid for letting her go.



    43. 43

      yay katy!!



    44. 44

      Yet another reason to not watch American Idol.

      45

      Idol seems to be forgetting which demographic actually controls the remote.



    46. 46

      Hey b, Sorry I didn't P much this week I've been feeling kinda down cuz I just ym ms. Haven't heard from you in awhile. Think that is why. Hope everything is okay. 46 ms bg. hmaw



    47. 47

      I won't watch without Paula - she was 1/2 the fun!



    48. 48

      So the girl with a HORRIBLE singing voice will be judging people with actual potential? Ironic!!



    49. 49

      katy perry is awesome, her live singing just isn't. but w/e!



    50. 50

      I'm not watching it without her!
      I'm so Pissed off



    51. 51

      yayayayay,
      coollll.



    52. 52

      No.



    53. 53

      IT WONT BE THE SAME WITHOUT PAULA BUT JESSICA SIMPSON WOULD BE A GOOD REPLACEMENT



    54. 54

      Paula will get her $10m a year & return to the show.



    55. 55

      Ugh noonono .. i fucking hate Kate Perry .. worst fucking singerr! She can't even sing for her life.



    56. 56

      how did i not get that memo that paula is not coming back? i'm sad. and i don't think katy perry is any kind of replacement so forget that.



    57. 57

      Wager they get Paula back! They are not crazy! If they can pay Simon and Ryan that amount of money. What the hell is 12 million to keep the cash cow flowing. Yeah, make it right!



    58. 58

      um no. didn't they say they weren't fans of the guest judge format???? now they're gonna do it again? might as well just leave it as is…



    59. 59

      What does Katy Perry know about singing?



    60. 60

      No, not excited. At least Jessica Simpson has been around awhile and could provide the kind of trainwreck comments that made Paula so popular. Katy Perry is so gimmicky and she hasn't even been around that long. Plus, did I mention that she can't sing?

      Re: Paris France – Hey, France. Left you a message in Lohan braless. Seaweed OUT.



    62. 62

      no, perez, i'm not excited.



    63. 63

      NoPAULA NO IDOL!!! Vctria beckham? Stuck up cow,she is.



    64. 64

      I'm glad Idol isn't caving to Paula Abdul's insane greedy demands. She should choreograph something, and actually work for a paycheck. Being a judge on Idol is a cakewalk, I'd say. Sitting there, scripted antics, corrupt finals, lies, bullsh*t. Everyone knows Idol is rigged, anyway. The longer it runs, the more cred it loses.



    65. 65

      What's the big deal with katy Perry?



    66. 66

      of course im excited! Katy Perry is going to be judging!!! xD & who the hell cares about Victoria Beckham, coz surely i dont! haha! KATY PERRY CAN SING, U BITCHES!!!!!!!!! if u dont know that, maybe u have over flowing ear wax in ur ear, thats why you cant hear anything good!!!!! cant wait to watch 'American Idol'!!!! TEAM PERRY FOR LIFE!!!!!!!! suck etttt!!!!!!!!!



    67. 67

      I LOVE KATY PERRY! I LOVE KATY PERRY! I LOVE KATY PERRY! I LOVE KATY PERRY! I LOVE KATY PERRY! I LOVE KATY PERRY! I LOVE KATY PERRY! I LOVE KATY PERRY! I DONT CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT HER!!!! COZ EVERYTHING U BITCHES SAY AIN'T FUCKING TRUE!!!!! SO STFU!!!! KATY PERRY IS IN THIS WORLD, & SHE IS GOING TO BE AROUND FOR A LONG TIME!!!!!



    68. 68

      She knows about "perez music" only…shitty music made by so called "next big things" who raise and fall in six months.



    69. 69

      omg….katy perry has like no musical experience
      she cant sing for her life and got famous because she had a racy song



    70. 70
