Pop Tarts has learned that Season One winner Kelly Clarkson and a Jonas Brother will join forces at next week’s audition series as celeb judges to find the next singing sensation.
The move is quite a surprise on Clarkson’s behalf as she has spent the last several years working hard to separate herself from the reality program. But according to a source close to the Clarkson camp, she’s beyond excited to get back to the show that started it all.

Other celeb superstars joining Simon, Randy and Kara for Season 9 include Shania Twain, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham and Mary J Blige.

“At this stage it doesn’t look like Paula will be replaced by one person,” an insider told Tarts. “The celebrity judges are working really well for now.”
