LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Shania Twain is the latest name to temporarily fill the "American Idol" seat left vacant by Paula Abdul, a rep for the show confirmed to Access Hollywood.

The mega-selling pop-country crossover star is set to "Come on Over" to the judging panel, joining Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi at an upcoming "Idol" audition in Chicago, the rep said.

And while Shania is gearing up to take her seat on the panel, Jessica Simpson is not.

The blonde country singer's dad shot down a report in the New York Post that he is working to get his daughter Paula's vacant position.

    I think that she looks beautiful, she has been through a lot and i think not only that she looks beautiful but I think that she needs a little bit of recongnition.

    I like Shania. I also liked Paula on the show, and although I don't watch it much, I'll miss the fact that Paula is not on it any more. She gave the show a little bit of zaniness which was needed because otherwise, the judges would have been BORING. BTW, Shania looks good in this picture.
