Ellen DeGeneres Replaces Paula Abdul as Permanent ‘American Idol’ Judge
Because she didn’t have enough money already, it has been announced that Ellen DeGeneres will replace Paula Abdul as the permanent fourth judge on the next season of ‘American Idol’.
Paula Abdul is crossing Ellen off her drunk dial list as I write this. I love her and the only way this could be better is if Anderson Cooper replaces Kara DioSTFUALREADY.
Via People:
“Hopefully I’m the people’s point of view because I’m just like you,” DeGeneres says. “I sit at home and I watch it. … I’m not looking at it in a critical way from the producer’s mind. I’m looking at it as a person who is going to buy the music and is going to relate to that person.”
Does everyone like the same music Ellen does? Apparently so.
Simon Fuller, ‘American Idol’s’ producer, released the following statement regarding adding the talk-show host to the judges line-up.
“Ellen has been a fan of the show for many years, and her love of music and understanding of the American public will bring a unique human touch to our judging panel.”
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who thinks the other three judges bring any human touch to the program.
