The Boob Tube & "Idol" Make A Comeback With Kanye West, Katy Perry And More! (PHOTOS)

News broke today that Lady Gaga would unveil her new  ― and sure to be controversial ― video for "Judas" on Fox's "American Idol." This premiere follows Kanye West and Katy Perry's appearance on the singing competition reality show last week.

So we had to ask: Why the shift back to television? Why isn't Judas premiering on LadyGaga.com or MTV.com or with Perez? It appears as though music's superstars are helping TV make a comeback.

The boob tube may have always been the most important form of entertainment in your home, but in recent years, the Internet has been the place to go to see celebs break news and debut new projects. For the past five years, we've seen the web dominate, while television networks stayed afloat thanks to reality TV and successful, established programs.

But has the television industry found a way to beat out the 'net by allowing superstars to be involved in programming? It appears so.
