Whoa, this is big news, but not surprising at all. Ellen DeGeneres will not be returning to the Judges’ Panel for American Idol 2011! Ellen released a statement saying she had decided to not return, or was FOX just nice enough to let her say that?
“A couple months ago, I let Fox and the `American Idol’ producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me,” DeGeneres said in a statement. The comedian-talk show host said she realized that while she “loved discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings.”
Ellen will not fulfill her two-year contract. Also worth noting is that FOX has yet to announce if they’ll even renew Kara’s contract.
So there are now two empty spots at the table and I’m hoping only one of those seats will be filled. Three judges was plenty, but that third new judge will have to be a powerhouse to bring up Kara and Randy. Who do you want it to be?
Update: J. Lo is one of the rumored replacements who is very, very close to signing a contract to become one of the new judges! I’m not sure how I feel about that just yet. She’s got the background, but do we really need a diva in the role?

The format is old and worn. The talent is horrible. It’s a fad. It’s a waste of our hard-earned money to text our winner and a waste of time. If more Americans focused on their personal finances like they do to American Idol, we would not be in this economic mess. American Idol is a waste of time.

I’m going to the Lilith Fair show in Indianapolis tomorrow (7/20) night and both Kelly Clarkson and La Roux were scheduled to appear. Does anyone know why they aren’t now?? I’m TOTALLY bummed that they’re not going to show. I mean, I’m still going to rock out; but I would’ve loved to have them there.
