Ellen DeGeneres Is Your New Paula Abdul
Ellen DeGeneres has signed on to replace Paula Abdul on American Idol, according to People:
“DeGeneres will sit alongside Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi and offer her own unique perspective to the contestants throughout the competition,” Fox television says in a statement.
DeGeneres, 51, begins her stint after the audition rounds, which have featured a rotating group of celebrity guest judges including Shania Twain, Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Joe Jonas and Kristin Chenoweth.
“I’m going to have a day job and a night job,” DeGeneres said at her talk show taping Wedneday, assuring her audience that The Ellen DeGeneres Show will continue. “This is so exciting for me.”
I just hope that either Ellen or Ryan Gaycrest dye their hair another color, because we are going to have a bitch of a time trying to figure out who is who!
And for those of you wondering if Ellen Degeneres has any singing experience, I present this to you:

I like Ellen but I really wish they would have chosen someone else. Ellen is funny but do we need a comedian on american idol. I am sure they are paying her alot more than they offerred Paula so I will not watch the show this year.
