Jon Bon Jovi Is ‘Top Contender to Succeed’ Katy Perry as Judge on ‘American Idol’


Jon Bon Jovi is the 'undisputed top contender to succeed' current judge Katy Perry on ABC's hit show 'American Idol,' a source exclusively tells Life & Style.

“A living legend with undeniable charisma, he possesses all the qualities necessary to command the stage and captivate TV audiences” — but his “astronomical financial expectations ” reportedly include a $25 million pay stub. Since then, insiders previously told Life & Style, there’s been no harmony on the Idol set as Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan clash over who should replace Katy on ABC’s hit singing competition. “This has been a very stressful time for Luke and Lionel because they’ve been left in the dark about so much — there was even talk producers were going to start fresh with a whole new lineup and give them the boot,” the insider said.
