If you are a fan of American Idol and the lineup of the judges, enjoy this season. Katy Perry announced on Jimmy Kimmel Live that this will be her final season as a judge on the show.

Not only that, it sounds like she hadn't EXACTLY broken the news to Ryan Seacrest, Lionel Richie, or Luke Bryan yet. Her answer when asked by Kimmel how they took it was "I guess they'll find out tonight." So it sounds like they knew something was up and that she wanted to make some sort of plans for herself, just not that she would be leaving the show!

Again, if you enjoy watching American Idol, you have the rest of this season to savor the show as is and then we will see who becomes the next judge to sit alongside Lionel and Luke.
