Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Video

If Simon Cowell was bothered at all by Paula Abdul’s departure, he might feel better when Katy Perry comes to town. In an interview with E! News, the future guest judge claims she is a fan of the American Idol critic.

Perry, who isn’t planning to bring a “build them up, Buttercup” approach to the show, predicts she and Cowell might form a nice bond. “I might become a little bit of a buddy with Simon. Because whenever I watch that show, as much as he’s an a**hole, he is a very truthful, honest a**hole.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip

As hard as it might be to believe, the Jonas Brothers can be separated from each other. For the proof, watch American Idol‘s upcoming season.

Although he previously visited the program as a member of his trio, Joe Jonas will be making a return to the FOX series as a solo act. The boy bander is now the latest musician to serve as a guest judge on Idol.

Jonas’ stint in Dallas will follow the appearances of both Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige. Other celebrities on tap include Katy Perry and country singer Shania Twain. Although a Kelly Clarkson cameo had been rumored, a source tells Us Weekly that the Season 1 winner will not be participating.

Season 9 of American Idol premieres in January.
