Shania Twain to judge American Idol

Shania Twain will be a guest judge on American Idol on Aug. 30-31 in Chicago, People reported. Shania follows in the footsteps of Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige by judging the American Idol auditions.

Shania will no doubt earn a hefty sum for her two day judging gig. Beckham reportedly got $275,000 for her American Idol appearance. New reports claim that Beckham may be back full time, although we find that unlikely.

Straight up now tell me, can we please bring back Paula Abdul to American Idol? Sure we love guest judges, but no one can replace Paula Abdul or can they?

According to TMZ there is a possibility that Paula Abdul will return to American Idol if they offer her 10 million dollars. It has also been reported that Paula has been meeting with ABC executives about getting her own talent show.

Paula Abdul may also make a guest appearance on Dancing with the Stars this season. Rumor has it DWTS producers what her to be a full time judge, but Paula does not what that.
