Neil Patrick Harris Is an American Idol Guest Judge

As Paula Abdul moves from American Idol to VH1's divas, new faces are coming in to take her place. So far we've learned that Idol will feature a variety of guest judges, including Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Shania Twain, and Joe Jonas. And guess who's the latest one to climb into Paula's old seat: Neil Patrick Harris! Fox has confirmed that NPH sat at the judges' table and weighed in on the singers during today's Dallas auditions. Aww!

I love this guy. And it's a good move on Fox's part, since I normally don't enjoy the auditions as much as the live competition. Now, however, I can't wait to tune in to the preliminaries! What do you think? Will it be good to have the former Broadway singer on the judges panel?
