According to The Sydney Morning Herald, music sensation Beyonce Knowles has been approached to appear in the Australian Idol finale, slated for November 23.
A source told the Herald that Beyonce's people are not overly enthused about her making a cameo on the reality series. "It's not looking promising with Beyonce but we may end up with someone like [fellow Destiny's Child singer] Kelly Rowland appearing at the Opera House," said the source.
Australian Idol is preparing to roll out its sixth season, and producers are reportedly attempting to revamp the ageing show after a less-than-spectacular fifth season (its winner Natalie Gauci was the first Idol whose debut single did not top the ARIA chart).
Big-name guests have been planned to boost interest. In the US Idol contestants are often mentored by musical greats; Stevie Wonder will reportedly appear on Australian Idol in October.
Viewers should also expect several other changes to the show this year: judge Mark Holden has departed, former contestant Ricki-Lee will co-host, and auditions will take place in London.
Australian Idol returns to Network Ten on Sunday, August 24.
