Katy Perry will pick new US Idol
By London Lite Last updated at 13:13pm on 07.08.09Katy Perry has been signed up as a guest judge on American Idol.
Executives at TV channel Fox have asked the I Kissed A Girl singer to appear to help replace Paula Abdul, who left this week.
Guest judge: Katy Perry
Perry, 24, joins Victoria Beckham, 35, as one of the guests who will occupy the fourth chair alongside the resident judges — music mogul Simon Cowell, producer Randy Jackson and songwriter Kara DioGuardi.
But Fox chairman of entertainment Peter Rice said neither Perry nor Beckham was “necessarily being considered for a permanent judging role”.
On Australian Idol, former Westlife star Brian McFadden, who now lives Down Under, has been tipped to replace judge Kyle Sandilands, in trouble over a radio interview.
