The "Sk8er Boi" singer will help judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi decide who is worthy enough to get a "Golden Ticket" to Hollywood.

The singers won't be the first to sit in at the judges' table since the news that Paula wouldn't return for Season 9.

    Um Christy thats a bad idea, Nikki Sixx is racist (don't believe huh,just Google it). Tommy Lee....he'd just want to f**k all the underage blonde girls so thats not good either,lol. Lets go nuts and have the spirit of Jimmi Hendrix or have a psychic channel Michael Jackson.

    Who stilllistens to Avril? No seriously. After she ran her mouth about her fans copying her style then running her mouth about Britney...then carrying a Louis Vouitton bag saying she's a girly girl? After she rags on Britney she later habgs out with her? She's nothing more than little two faced idiot.
