Ellen DeGeneres Replaces Paula Abdul

Paula Abdul has been replaced!

In a surprise move, Fox has tapped Ellen DeGeneres to be the fourth judge on American Idol alongside Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi.

“I’m going to have a day job and a night job,” Ellen said on the set of her daytime talk show on Wednesday, assuring her audience that The Ellen DeGeneres Show will go on. “This is so exciting for me.”

Later she tweeted: “Guess what? Go ahead… nope… keep guessing… Okay, I’ll just tell you — I’m gonna be the new judge on American Idol!”

While Ellen doesn’t have professional music experience — other than shaking her booty to hip-hop on her show each day — she says she’s a huge fan of the show and she plans to be the voice of the regular audience member.

“Hopefully I’m the people’s point of view because I’m just like you,” Ellen said. “I sit at home and I watch it.”

Ellen will join the cast following auditions, which have featured a rotating group of celeb judges including Joe Jonas, Victoria Beckham and Shania Twain.

The next season of Idol kicks off in January.- From STAR Magazine
