Ryan Seacrest Is Using the Original 'American Idol' Judges' Table to Host Show From His Home

It definitely won't be the American Idol finale of old, what with the fireworks raining down on the winner of season 18 and the dramatic lights and parade of superstars singing duets with the top two in a blowout coronation. Thanks to the COVID-19 lockdown next Sunday's (8-10 p.m. ET, May 17) season-ender will have to take place from home, but that doesn't mean this year's finalists won't get some A-list help.

Katy Perry is all set to embrace motherhood very soon. She is expecting her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom and the pregnancy glow is quite evident on her face. While Katy Perry is experiencing her share of good and bad days during her pregnancy, the songstress can't wait to welcome her child. The 35-year-old flaunted her baby bump on Sunday's American Idol semifinals and the mommy-to-be is loving the attention from her fans and her fellow judges.

After amusing fans with her hand sanitizer get-up during American Idol's at home episode last week, Katy Perry recently dressed up as a toilet roll in the latest episode of the singing show. Looks like Katy Perry has the most comical ways to spread awareness about the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak. After hand sanitizers, toilet rolls have become the most much-in-demand products during the COVID-19 spur and the 35-year-old singer surely knows how to put out her message about the same.

Katy Perry put on her Sunday best in a cheeky way to kick off the at-home tapings of “American Idol” as the program forges on with live shows during the coronavirus pandemic. The “Dark Horse” performer, 35, sent a message to viewers to stay home when she appeared on the program dressed as a life-size bottle of hand sanitizer ready to judge the contestants.
