American Idol Judge Katy Perry

WHO WILL REPLACE KATY PERRY ON AMERICAN IDOL?

American Idol needs a judge to replace the departing Katy Perry, and a source connected to the still popular show revealed the top two candidates in the running: Jennifer Lopez and her 2020 Super Bowl halftime show co-performer, Shakira. J.Lo was a judge on Idol for 5 non-consecutive seasons while Shakira was a guest performer, but never a judge. If a deal cannot be struck with either of them, next on the wish list is Dua Lipa. Behind closed doors meetings with the respective agents are happening, with a new judge to be named soon.

American Idol Judge Paula Abdul Randy Jackson Simon Cowell

AMERICAN IDOL WILL GO OFF THE AIR WITH A BANG, NOT A WHIMPER

#paulaabdul #janetcharlton

American Idol producers have seen the writing on the wall (the ratings dip) and they plan to end the show gracefully next season. They want the ORIGINAL judges from the first season together again for the final season – Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell. That way they can end the show the way it began. Randy, the only original judge still on Idol, is perfectly willing to stay for another year, and Paula is totally up for it. Simon, of course, is playing hard to get – partly because he’s currently on The X-Factor, and partly because he likes to be difficult.

Britney Spears Judge Simon Cowell The X Factor

HERE COMES THE JUDGE: THE UNPREDICTABLE BRITNEY SPEARS

Britney Spears is sitting on a ten million dollar offer from Simon Cowell to join The X-Factor as a judge, and it looks like she will accept the deal, according to Deadline.com. Her fiancee Jason Trawick has been negotiating the contract for her. When Nicole Scherzinger left her judge’s seat, she remarked that she didn’t realize what an emotional roller-coaster the job would be. How Britney will react to the drama will certainly be interesting – we think she’s being paid all that money because she will provide “the ditz factor.” No one can predict what she will say or do, and THAT might pull in the big audience Simon craves.

America's Got Talent Howard Stern Judge

HOWARD STERN CLEANED UP HIS ACT ON “AMERICA’S GOT TALENT” FOR 15 MILLION DOLLARS

Howard Stern reported for work in Los Angeles to start taping auditions for “America’s Got Talent” and he got a rousing ovation from the audience – considerably more than his fellow judges, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel. He proved to be a merciless judge, but not without compassion. Stern tried to let down the awful acts gently with a joke or anecdote, and he felt particularly bad about disappointing child contestants. Howard absolutely cleaned up his usually off-color act but managed to retain his smart observations and sense of humor so his fans were not disappointed. After all, he has to earn that 15 million dollar salary.

Howard Stern cleared the way for his pretty wife Beth Ostrosky to enter the David Letterman show. Stern is promoting his new 15 million dollar job as judge on America’s Got Talent. The entire show is relocating to New York, just for Howard! He and the other judges, Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne, are leaving this month to travel across the country looking at performers and Stern’s already warned them to expect some changes. Howard might actually add some life to the show.
