Nigel Lythgoe

American Idol may be replacing Paula Abdul with Posh Spice, at least temporarily, but that doesn't mean the "Straight Up" singer is likely to disappear from your TV screen any time soon.

Abdul is proving more popular than ever since leaving Idol, with both ABC execs and So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe wooing her with job offers.

Paula may return to her dancer and choreographer roots to serve as a judge on SYTYCD, which is basically the dance equivalent of Idol.

Katie Holmes' much-speculated appearance on So You Think You Can Dance has been confirmed.

Producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe announced the actress will appear on stage for the 100th episode of the hit reality TV show that for the hottest new dance talent.

Holmes will dance in a Tyce Diorio-choreographed tribute to Judy Garland on July 23.

Following last year’s continued ratings slump, American Idol is experiencing more shake-ups than J-Lo’s booty in last week’s earthquake.

Apparently Simon Cowell is miserable working on the show, so he’s being paid a TON to stay. If it weren’t for the paycheck and Cowell had his druthers, he’d quit, take time off and bring his UK hit X-Factor (the show that discovered singing sensation Leona Lewis) to America.

While the show believes they can’t lose Cowell, they were willing to throw a few other Idol veterans overboard.
