Katy Perry has confirmed to appear as a guest judge on next season’s American Idol!
The 24-year-old singer has signed up to be one-time guest judge on the ninth season of American Idol, kicking off in January, according to FOX executives.
Victoria Beckham has also agreed to make a “one-off appearance” alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi in Paula Abdul's absence.
"Between now and January [when the show airs], we’ll have these guest judges do one week each during the audition [period]… there is no thought right now that any of these judges will be long term judge for us,” Fox's Peter Rice said on Thursday.
"All of the people we are talking to have successful careers. I don’t even think they’d be available to judge full-time. We have now until January to introduce a new energy to the panel.” the chairman of entertainment at Fox added.
