Listen up, KatyCats! The reason Katy Perry left American Idol might not be what you think…
After the 39-year-old made the surprising announcement of her departure from the reality competition series, rumors began to swirl. Of course, many fans thought she was saying goodbye to Idol because of all the drama she’d been in last season, while others went as far as to think she and her hubby Orlando Bloom were preparing for their second child. But the Firework hitmaker’s hairstylist is revealing what HE knows about the exit.
While speaking to The US Sun over the weekend, Dean Banowetz said Katy didn’t say goodbye to the show because of pregnancy or backlash — but for something else entirely:

The X Factor 2018 finalist Scarlett Lee has only gone and auditioned for American Idol. Six years after finishing as runner-up in Simon Cowell's UK singing competition, which saw Dalton Harris showered with confetti at the time, 26-year-old Scarlett looked a different person while covering 'Clown' by Emeli Sandé infront of judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan recently.

“American Idol” judge Perry appeared to cringe after one contestant took a massive gamble and sang the pop star’s 2008 hit “I Kissed a Girl” during Sunday night’s episode. The bold and rather theatrical cover of Perry’s debut single came when Massachusetts native Madaí ChaKell strutted into the audition room and declared to Perry, 39, and co-judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan that she planned to “get into your bag today.” ChaKell’s comment surprised Perry, who went on to watch the singer — who said she’d been part of an unnamed Broadway musical’s touring company — give a very active performance.

If he wasn’t still Counsellor of State then that would be a very different matter.”Little to no surprise, it’s believed that Prince William, the heir to the throne, is “at the heart” of the King’s succession plans.“The King has or definitely had a close relationship with Harry — if this is true, I can’t understand why the King wouldn’t want to share his plans,” Harrold said.“Maybe there’s this feeling not to share following all the documentaries and interviews Harry has done.
