Katy Perry $20 Mil 'Idol' Offer REJECTED

Katy Perry Rolling Stone Cover Katy Perry Rolling Stone Cover

Although she told "American Idol" that she would not be a judge of the show back in JULY, they still pursued her. They even offered her more money than new judge Mariah Carey.

According to TMZ, they originally offered Katy Perry $18 million, which is the exact amount Mariah Carey is making.

After Katy turned them down, they offered her $20 million dollars and even though Idol said "Shut up and put where your money where your mouth is" the singer still turned them down.

It makes no sense to go after Katy. Speaking from experience, Katy is too hot right now to be tied down to the show. Same with Nicki Minaj. It makes sense for Mariah being a mother of twins and for her to be tied down and still be in the limelight. For Katy, not so much.

Good for Katy for turning it down. She has guest judged before and knew what she was getting into.

I was REALLY wanting Adam Lambert and Pink to be a part of it but glad it hasn't worked that way.

To see "Idol" getting turned down by almost every music star they go after has been quite amusing, hasn't it?-Doc FnB

Katy is too fine to be a judge on any show. Even though it would have been cool to see her every week up close & personal. She is sooo hot!!!!! I want to do her...

She was a guest judge on a UK X Facor date. She was funny, and fairly entertaining.

I don't know why anyone would offer her $20 million though...

hmmm so basically,the American Idol producers are asking every pop artist if they're interested in being a judge on the show? LOL.

Ironically,they're asking everyone except the one person who actually WANTS to do it: Aretha Franklin lol

Yes they are, it's the only way this show can get attention now with X-Factor and The Voice being heavy competition.

She should have done it, no way she is going to be hot for a long time, so she should cash in now.

She's going to regret this in a few years.

It only makes sense that the TV show that has tried its hardest to ruin contemporary music would seek one of the worst musical "artists" to ever have a record contract to be a judge.

Actually, it makes a lot more sense for Katy Perry not to jump into Idol right now, since she is on top of the pop world. I also believe she announced well ahead of time she was turning down that gig once Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez were kicked off the show, so even when the Idol producers actually came to her and offered her a huge contract she wasn't interested.

I still think Bret Michaels would be a decent choice to become one of the judges, though.

BTW, this photo makes me want to go "hubba hubba." drool excited horny

nod She's smart to pass on this because she just broke records with her recent album...why the hell would she want to do 'American Idol' when she's hot right now? She really doesn't need the help...just sayin'.

LOL @ all the Katy Perry hate on this thread. falloff She's got more musical talent in her pinky fingernail than most of the artists out now who get more respect than her...don't believe it look up this woman's history and educate yourself a bit. The woman writes her songs, plays more than one instrument, and continued to work her ass off in the midst of heartache without cracking and being evil about it. Hate on her success all you want to but she's worked her ass off for it no matter what anyone says. She paid her dues just as much as any of them and I respect her for it. Her original label hated on her once too by trying to keep her locked in a box and muted and look at her now. Nothing truly brightens the day more than proving haters wrong. Hate on! cool

I've seen her early videos, etc. She might be able to "play" an instrument and write absolutely stupid lyrics, but that doesn't make her any less of an amateur. Plus, her voice has one of the most shrill timbres known to mankind.

Katy Perry is scrate awful.

She tied just to clarify, MJ's record of 5 number one hits from an album. She broke it if you consider the number one hit she got from the rerelease of Teenage Dream (Billboard doesn't).

Pocket Change: Katy Perry Turns Down $20 Million American Idol Gig Offer

Posted on August 26th, 2012 -

Katy Perry Turns Down $20 Million American Idol Offer

After hinting earlier this year that she may have been co...dges panel, Katy Perry has decided to give up the gwap and pass on the gig.

Not many people are in the position to pass on a multimillion dollar, one-year job offer, but it looks like Katy Perry doesn’t have that problem. The “Wide Awake” singer was offered $20 million to be an “American Idol” judge, but turned it down, TMZ reports.

According to sources, Perry, whose professional and personal life have been in the spotlight recently, was courted by “Idol” producers for the gig for quite some time. She was reportedly first offered $18 million for a one-year contract, with that number jumping up to $20 million. Still, she’s not biting.

“She was being hotly pursued,” a source also told Us Weekly about Perry’s “Idol” offer. “They really wanted her.”

However, it’s not all that surprising that Perry is passing on the gig. She talked about joining “Idol” with The Hollywood Reporter in July, saying, “People have reached out to me about the possibility of being involved, and it’s not right for me yet.”

Mariah signed for $18 milli….bet she won’t be excited to hear that they were about to drop $20 mil

Her eyes are mesmerizing!!!
