Ellen Degeneres leaves 'Idol'
Today, Degeneres unexpectedly quit the show after one season into her 5-year contract with Fox.
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/...ry?id=11283713 She cited a more grueling schedule and inability to be as critical of contestants as the job demanded for the reasons why she has left. In related news, there have been reports that Idol has been chasing Elton John and Justin Timberlake, among others, to take over for Simon Cowell's vacant position. Those two, for monetary and availability reasons, are considered longshots. I've read that Harry Connick Jr. remains a strong candidate--as does Nigel Lythgoe who is reportedly joining the producer staff for the upcoming season.

Re: Ellen Degeneres leaves 'Idol'
I'll be a judge. I'm not doing anything right now. I once judged a lip synch contest, that gives me at least some experience.

Re: Ellen Degeneres leaves 'Idol'
Reports are that Kara has been fired and AI is looking to go to a three person panel that will include Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. I forgot to copy the link, but this was on TMZ.

Simon was seen as overly harsh at times but he often said what needed to be said and he had tons of experience in the business to back it up. |

Re: Ellen Degeneres leaves 'Idol'
I'm delighted that Kara's gone. Woman just rubbed me the wrong way, and I was annoyed every time she spoke. The show's never going to be the same without Simon, though, and I think this may be the beginning of the end.
