The search for Paula Abdul's replacement is on! Friday it was confirmed there will be a fourth judge on the upcoming season of "American Idol."

Kirstie Alley claims she's the one taking over for Abdul. On Wednesday, she posted on Twitter, "DEAD SERIOUS! I AM REPLACING PAULA ON IDOL," but there hasn't been an official confirmation from "Idol" execs.

Is there still time for a last-minute deal with Paula? Inside sources tell "Extra" the "Straight Up" singer will come back to the hit show for $10 million.
