“American Idol” Might Have A Case Of Buyer’s Remorse Over Katy Perry
ABC’s American Idol reboot has a lot in common with the old American Idol. They’ve got the same dead-eyed robot host. They’ve got people lining up to audition. And just like William Hung’s voice, the judging situation for this reboot is a flaming hot mess. According to Radar Online, it might have just gotten even messier.
“American Idol” Can’t Find Anyone To Judge The Damn Thing
ABC’s American Idol reboot has robotic elf Ryan Seacrest back as host, and Katy Perry as a judge that was somehow worth $25 million, and…that’s about all they’ve got, according to TMZ.
Ryan Seacrest Is Officially The Host Of The “American Idol” Reboot
Much to the surprise of no one I’m sure, Ryan Seacrest – the perpetually-smiling theme park animatronic who longs to one day be a real boy – has officially been named as the host of ABC’s American Idol. Variety says ABC confirmed the news after Kelly Ripa announced it on Live With Kelly and Ryan this morning. “She just had to be the one to do it” probably thought Michael Strahan.
Katy Perry Isn’t Ashamed Of Her $25 Million Paycheck For “American Idol”
Katy Perry is the first (and so far only) person to have officially signed on to judge the next wave of desperate singing superstars on ABC’s reboot of American Idol. It was rumored she was earning a pretty penny for it. Actually, it was more like 2,500,000,000 pennies (aka $25 million). Sources told TMZ that ABC was desperate to sign a name, and Katy had all the leverage in negotiating a huge pay check. Katy recently confirmed the rumors were true about her Idol paycheck.
ABC Confirms They Made A Pact With The Devil By Announcing “Dancing With The Stars Junior”
ABC held its upfronts presentation (more like “upchuck presentation“) in NYC today and they announced all sorts of shit that’s got people asking, “Whyyyyyy?!” ABC confirmed that they’re dragging American Idol’s still cold body out if its grave next year. They also confirmed the Roseanne revival (the entire cast is back including Sarah Chalke who will play a different role) and they announced that they’re getting into the live musical game by doing The Little Mermaid Live this October (ABC’s offices should block Lindsay Lohan’s cell number because she’ll be burning up their phones now).
But the news that really made me cringe and also made all of the Pimp Mama Krises out there explode with glee is that ABC will air a kid version of Dancing with the Stars. ABC’s Dancing with the Stars Junior will pair child stars and the children of celebrities with junior pro dancers and they’ll do choreographed routines in front of a panel of judges. Every day we stray further from God’s light and get closer to HELL!
Katy Perry Is In Talks To Join “American Idol” As A Judge
So it looks like there is someone wants to be a judge on ABCs unnecessary resurrection of American Idol. According to The Hollywood Reporter, one-time guest judge (as seen above in her Lead With The Boobies years) Katy Perry is “in active talks” to sign on as a head judge for American Idol.
