Pop singers Katy Perry, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, and
other female artists will be guest judges on "American Idol" this
upcoming season to help replace departing Paula Abdul, Fox
television executives said on Thursday.
But Fox and the producers of the most-watched American television
show said they are searching for a permanent, fourth judge to sit
in Abdul's seat when the ninth season of the show returns to TV in
early 2010.
Auditions for the ninth season of "American Idol" begin on Aug 9
and Rice said that producers were talking to several female pop
stars and performers to fill guest judge spots.
He said Perry, who enjoyed a massive global hit with "I Kissed a
Girl", and Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, had already agreed to
take part in the audition rounds. None of the guests are expected
to take on the judging role permanently.
