-
Victoria Beckham
Posh Spice made a surprisingly warm and charming "Idol" guest judge, and she'd provide some necessary eye candy in the absence of Jennifer.
-
Kanye West
The latest crop of judges has been criticized for being "too nice" -- and we all know Kanye doesn't fall into that category.
-
Taylor Swift
How hilarious would it be to have Swift and Kanye on the same panel? Swift is funny, talented and appeals to a younger demographic -- but she probably doesn't need the money badly enough to do it.
-
Perez Hilton
The catty gossip blogger made no secret of his desire to be an "X Factor" judge -- and again, he could help with the "too nice" problem.
-
Katy Perry
She's funny, sexy and talented -- and she seems to want to be on TV. "Idol" would be lucky to have her!
-
Kelly Clarkson
She's the first "Idol" winner and one of its biggest stars, and she isn't afraid to speak her mind. Kelly, we'd tune in to watch you!
-
Carrie Underwood
Who's more all-American than season four winner Carrie Underwood? "Idol" has a lot of country fans, and she certainly delivers in the eye-candy department, too.

Say it isn't so, J-Lo! Jennifer Lopez isn't planning to return to "American Idol," E! News reports, even though Fox is trying their best to keep her. So who might join the judges' panel in her place? Glam rocker and season eight runner-up Adam Lambert.
"They have been talking about Adam for over a month," a source tells E!. "He personifies the show, and will be a popular choice right from the start. He knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of the judges' comments, he has a human touch, and they know they can't go wrong if they bring him on. He would be able to bring a unique perspective to the show. People love him."
Indeed, we DO love Adam, and we still think he was robbed when Kris Allen beat him back in 2009. But in the absence of Simon Cowell, J-Lo has become the "star" of the show, and her A-list appeal won't be easily replaced.
But wait -- there's more bad news! E! reports that Randy Jackson "may well not be part of the new line up," and a Steven Tyler source says his "Idol" future is "up in the air." From Lambert to Perez Hilton to Katy Perry, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who should replace Jennifer Lopez on 'Idol'?

I'm sick to death of people like you......get out more talk to gay people & all of them will tell you.....
Taylor
or
Carrie
the rest....hell no
And actually, now that I think about it, the gay rights movement is definitely one of the important issues facing our country and I guess you could argue that both Hilton and Lambert have had some sort of influence - Hilton with his tendency to out closeted celebs and Lambert by being pretty much the first recording artist to be not only open but vocal about his sexual orientation at the BEGINNING of his career.
