ELLEN DeGENERES AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE

It has just been announce, talk show host ELLEN DeGENERES will be replacing PAULA ABDUL as the 4th AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE. ELLEN DeGENERES has long described herself as a fan of American Idol, will now be judging the AMERICAN IDOL contestants from the Chick #2 judges seat.

ELLEN DeGENERES will join the American Idol judging team when Season 9 of American Idol rolls through in January of 2010. Speaking about joining the American Idol judges team, Ellen DeGeneres said “I’m thrilled to be the new judge on American Idol, I’ve watched since the beginning, and I’ve always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I’ll save from not having to text in my vote.”

During her talk show this morning, Ellen DeGeneres assured fans she was not quiting the talk show but simply having a Day and night job saying “The times we’re living in, we’re all doing that.” Somehow I don't think Ellen DeGeneres is struggling for cash.

Talking about how she would contribute to a show typically judged by professionals in the music industry Ellen DeGeneres said “Hopefully, I’m the people’s point of view because I’m just like you, I sit at home and I watch it, and I don’t have that technical … 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.” That and I'm sure Ellen will ad some much needed humour into American Idol.

This should end the speculation that Paula Abdul was just playing hardball and would be back for season 9 of American Idol. The coffin has been nailed shut and Ellen DeGeneres is now a Judge on American Idol.

After Idol - Paula Abdul on Dance TV?

Ex American Idol Judge, Paula Abdul, may not be that bad off after leaving her long stint, as the "nice judge" at American Idol. According to reports, ABC's entertainment president Steve McPherson would "love to have" Paula Abdul on Dancing With The Stars.

In addition, So You Think You Can Dance Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe said earlier this week he would love to have Paula Abdul on So You Think You Can Dance and was scheduled to meet with Paula Abdul this weekend to talk about the possibility of Paula Abdul being featured on So You Think You Can Dance.

As for American Idol, they seem to be fairing ok with the loss of Bubblegum Judge Paula Abdul. Recent audition replacements for Paula Abdul's seat on American Idol include ex Pop Tart Victoria Beckham, AKA Posh Spice. Other Paula Abdul sit-in's include Katy Perry who will take Paula Abdul's seat while American Idol producers search for a replacement for Paula Abdul.

According to reports, Paula Abdul, and her new management team, rejected a 30 percent pay raise at American Idol for the unemployment line. Perhaps with these new Dancing With The Stars and So You Think You Can Dance offers popping up, this may not have been a bad business move on the part of the ex pop-tart Paula Abdul.

If Paula Abdul does, in fact, ink a deal with producers of So You Think You Can Dance or Dancing With The Stars (or Both), it is unclear whether Paula Abdul will appear as a Guest, a Dancer, or a Choreographer. Whatever the case, you can be sure she will demand a high pay cheque for the stint.
