Joe Jonas and Kelly Clarkson to guest judge 'American Idol'
Next to fill Paula Abdul's seat? Joe Jonas and "American Idol" Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson.
Sources tell Showtracker that the pair are nearing a deal to guest judge an audition round of the competition. They follow Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Shania Twain and the still-unscheduled Katy Perry.
Clarkson most recently appeared on "Idol" in March to perform "My Life Would Suck Without You" from her latest album, "All I Ever Wanted." She is on tour through December to promote the album.
The Jonas Brothers are also on tour for their new disc, "Lines, Vines and Trying Times." The trio last graced the "Idol" stage in May 2008 to perform at the Season 7 finale.

Really excited for Kelly to guest judge, she'll be great, even though knowing the girl she won't be able to keep a straight face when the tone def people auditioned lol! She totally deserves to be a guest judge and hope she is only one Idol alum to guest judge. And Joe Jonas come on now seriously, I don't care if it is for bringing in a younger audience it's ridiculous I mean a 20 year old judging people who are a few years older than him and some probably have a better voice than him.

Wow! I would audition just to meet Joe :P Add Taylor Swift to the mix and you've got the perfect recipe for a catfight to rival even Paula and Kara's standards!!!
