Katy Perry To Guest Judge On American Idol

While we won't know for a while if Paula will be back for American Idol next season, we can tell you that Katy Perry has signed up to be a guest judge.

And like Victoria Beckham, who will also be sitting at the judges table, Perry will be featured on just one episode.

“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.

“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.”
