o   Move over Katy Perry, there’s a new judge in town!

o   TMZ is reporting that Carrie is close to signing a deal that would make her the new judge on American Idol, now that Katy has left.

o   Their sources say that they’re in the final stages of contract negotiation.

o   That would put her at the table with co-judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

o   And maybe it’s just coincidence, but she has an appearance scheduled on “Good Morning America” this Friday for their Summer Concert Series.

o   Both shows are on ABC.

o   She will still be performing at Resorts World in her Reflection residency, as she just extended through 2025.

o   Luckily, it’s just an extra 6 shows so she should be able to manage both at the same time.

o   Carrie headed back to American Idol is really going back to where it all started as she won season 4 of the show back in 2005.

o   She’s won 8 Grammys and sold over 85 million records.
