Katy Perry will be a guest judge on the next series of American Idol- after Paula Abdul quit last week.

She joins Victoria Beckham as one of the stars who will fill in on the panel next to Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi

On Twitter Katy wrote: “I must confess, I'm SO excited to guest host on American Idol. I think Simon & I are gonna get along famously. He tells it like it is. & truthfully, that's how ppl need to hear it.”

“This isn't like ur local highschool talent conest. This is AI! Ppl that wanna b in music biz. need to know this sh*t isn't a cake walk! :P No more pitty passing kids on to the next level just cause they have some kinda sob story”

Victoria Beckham has yet to comment on being a guest judge but we bet her thoughts won’t be as forthright as Perry’s tweets.
