According to TMZ American Idol desperately wanted Katy Perry to fill one of its vacant judge's seats, so much so, they offered her $20 MILLION but she still turned it down "Idol" pursued Perry relentlessly for weeks, eager to get her to sign on the dotted line. According to TMZ, they started the offer at $18 million, but threw even more cash on the table $20 MILLION for a one year contract!!! but Katy made it clear she was NOT interested and money wasn't the issue.Aside from the fact that Katy's schedule made it impossible to do the show she just didn't think it was right career choice for her. Mariah must be one pissed, $18 million judge.lol
