Future of season 18
As of right now, I haven't heard anything on whether Ryan Seacrest, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, & Lionel Richie will returning for Season 18 of Idol next year. I have heard stories of possible changes being made by ABC for money reasons even though I did read an interview where Luke said that he hoped that he, Katy, & Lionel do return. As for Ryan, I haven't heard anything from him that I know of so please understand that this upcoming season is right now filled with uncertainty.
Let's all be patient. The news on whether all 4 will be coming back will happen when it happens.
Idol coming back; Katy Perry now a judge
As we all know, Idol is coming back on ABC, and Katy Perry was announced as a judge today. Let's just say that I am very excited about this.
As for who the host will be and who will join Katy on the judging panel, I would suggest taking a wait-&-see approach to this. There are a lot of rumors going around so I would take those with a grain of salt until the person in question comfirms or denies the rumors involving them. I just think that this may be the best way to do this.
So get ready, folks. Idol is back!! :D

Judging panel update
There are now reports out there saying that a songwriter and producer who calls himself Dr. Luke may be joining the panel. Like before, I think it would be best to hear it straight from him or from the network before putting it on the season 13 page. Also I wouldn't put too much stock into what Casper Smart says regarding his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez returning. Until she or the network say so, I would take what he says with a grain of salt.
Now another issue has come up. I have been noticing that someone keeps putting Cher Lloyd's name as a possible Idol judge on the season 13 page. From all the Google searches I do to all of the stuff I read online, this isn't true. Yes, she is a British pop star like Cheryl Cole, whose name has been ment…
New judges
OK, folks, here's the thing. I know that there have been reports that Jennifer Lopez & Will.i.am are to be joining Keith Urban on the judging panel for season 13, but I think it would be better to hear it straight from Jennifer & Will themselves before mentioning them as judges on the season 13 page. I know that people are excited for this to happen, but until they say that they are a part of the show, please be patient. I hope everyone understands. Thank you.
