Katy Perry could become a judge on the hit ABC show, American Idol. According to Elle magazine, Perry is close to finalizing her contract to appear on the show. She was a guest judge on the show back in 2010, and told MTV News at the time, "If I was offered that job as a permanent host, I would ditch my career and take on that career." 2017 has been quite the busy year for the singer as she prepares to release a new album along with starting her tour.
