Mary J. Blige has denied reports she's set to replace Paula Abdul as a permanent judge on reality TV competition American Idol.

The No More Drama hitmaker was booked as a guest panellist on the singing competition after Abdul's departure in August (09).

Idol producers have also roped in Victoria Beckham, Katy Perry, Shania Twain and Neil Patrick Harris to critique contestants alongside original judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi on the upcoming season.

However, Blige insists she's not considering taking a permanent seat on the show.

The Things They Say:

Don't let ­anyone tell you it doesn't. It hurts, and it hurts really bad." Tattooed R&B singer Mary J. Blige has no plans to get more permanent ink.
