There has been much speculation on which judges will be returning for this year’s American Idol, but reports have suggested that Kara DioGuardi WILL be back.

A show insider told Eonline:

“Her deal is done. There are no ifs, ands or buts,” a source said. “Done. She will be back.”

However the source added that Kara’s fee isn’t even close to what Simon and Randy have been promised, or even to what Paula is asking for. I bet it’s still enough to make her a pretty wealthy woman though!
