Katy Perry

For more publicity while Paula "negotiates" her contract, Shania Twain is now confirmed as being brought in to fill Ms. Rehabdul's shoes for a few dates. Rumors are also swirling that Joe Jonas and Kelly Clarkson will take a seat behind the judges' table during the auditions. The new slew of guest judges join Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige as people who will probably bring very little to the show by repeating producer-generated lines. Katy Perry is trying to work Idol into her schedule as well.

American Idol 9 guest judge Katy Perry has made it known that she isn't going to be "nice" when she takes Paula's seat for a short period of time during the auditions this year. As one of the revolving guest judges, Katy wants to end the sob stories and archetypes that usually make it through to Hollywood. She twittered:

"This isn't like ur local highschool talent contest. This is AI! Ppl that wanna b in music biz need to know this shit isn't a cake walk! :P "

"No more pity passing kids on to the next level just cause they have some kinda sob story or cuz they look like a replica of past Idol winners (is it me or does every year have like the nerd, the rocker chick, gospel chick, etc.)"

"Anyway, I'm just excited to tell it like it is & high 5 Simon all day. He may be devil of judges but he's riggght!"

So will Katy be a good guest judge and kick out the annoying screechy divas and fake rockers with the goat vibrato? We'll see.
