Paula Abdul is so last season on American Idol. After tweeting on her Twitter that she has decided to call it quits with the reality competition, producers of the show are deciding for her replacement.
Peter Rice, Chairman of FOX Broadcasting, confirmed Thursday that Victoria “Posh” Beckham will be a guest judge on the next season of “American Idol,” along with “I Kissed a Girl” singer Katy Perry.

Beckham and Perry will just be guest judges, not replacements.
Rice says that their hope was that Abdul would come back and they currently have no contingencies or plans for any of the guest judges to become a permanent fixture on the panel.
For that role, they are looking to cast a “different energy” before January.
