Somebody out there thought it would be hilarious to make my worst nightmare come through by putting Ellen DeGeneres on another television show.
Yep just like the title of this post reads – Ellen will be replacing Paula Abdul and become the fourth judge on American Idol once the audition rounds finish up.
Speaking on her day time chat show she 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. Hopefully I’m the people’s point of view because I’m just like you. 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. I’m going to have a day job and a night job. The times we’re living in … we’re all doing that.”
Now, I’m all for working hard for your money but is she actually serious in her last statement? Sure people have two jobs but Ellen the thing is, we all don’t get millions for each job.
There has been no word from Paula Abdul, most likely because she is probably high from raiding her medicine cabinet.
During the audition process the show had guest judges which included Shania Twain, Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Joe Jonas and Kristin Chenoweth.
Bosses for Idol, which returns in January, released a statement saying “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.”
I know Ellen DeGeneres is the second coming to some people but I just don’t like her which is why this is my worst nightmare. Also what exactly are her qualifications when it comes to the music business?
I hope you’ve had your breakfast because this picture of Victoria Beckham almost made me throw up in my mouth.
This is Victoria greeting fans at the first American Idol Season 9 auditions in Denver on Friday, no she is not replacing Paula Abdul… she is just one of many judges who will take Paula’s place throughout the new season.
As for how she got on a source said “it didn’t go too well, She tried to hard to be ‘nice,’ but came off as icy and wooden.”
What else did they expect her to be like? By the way, Idol bosses paid Victoria Beckham over $250,000 for the one day of auditions.
Yesterday the whole world was talking about whether or not Paula Abdul would be returning to American Idol.
Simon Cowell has now broken his silence about the whole about the whole thing by simply saying “she’ll be fine. She’ll be on the show, I don’t get a lot of say. I’ve just made it clear that I want Paula on the show.”
We all know that despite what Simon says, he does get a lot of say on the show and who is on the judging panel.
Ryan Seacrest has also spoken, he says “I think as far as I know, you’ll see everybody back. I hope so.”
Notice that neither Simon Cowell or Ryan Seacrest mention the newest judge Kara DioGuardi?
It appears that Paula Abdul won’t be returning for upcoming ninth season of American Idol, according to her manager.
Despite recently saying she was offered to stay on as long as the show runs, her new manager David Sonenberg says Paula isn’t happy at all.
He says…. “Very sadly, it does not appear that she’s going to be back on Idol, I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful. I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that producers haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do.”
“She’s not a happy camper as a result of what’s going on. She’s hurt. She’s angry I think at this point we’re going to be considering everything, including some kind of a competition show. She has tremendous ideas for a whole variety of shows.”
This comes just after news that Ryan Seacrest signed a huge $45 million three year contract with bosses for the show last week and Simon Cowell is reportedly going to get over $140 million to stay on the show once his contract runs up in May.
Randy Jackson has also signed a contract to stay on until 2011, no word on how much he was offered. As for the newest judge Kara DioGuardi, there has been no mentions of her returning or getting any offers yet but she wants to stay on.
Do you think American Idol would survive without Paula Abdul?
After Scott MacIntyre, who is pretty much legally blind, received his yellow paper guaranteeing his trip to the finals, Ryan Seacrest attempted to high-five the contestant!
Yes, high-fiving a blind dude! Then Seacrest said, “We’ll SEE you in Hollywood.” What a hater.
Denise Richards says she doesn’t know what she’s going to do, short of performing in porno flicks, if her show gets the axe. Her wonderful hit show, It’s Complicated, was rumored to be biting the dust earlier this year, and we were all disappointed to find out that it’s still on the air.
Thanks a lot Ryan Seacrest!
Apparently, a friend of the “actress” says that Denise is worried about life after It’s Complicated should the show go the way of failing economy. Her pal said, “She’s willing to do just about anything and take any role that’s not pure porn.”
Seriously, she should probably consider porn or Playboy, because I don’t know anyone who watches her show at all. Or maybe they do, and they just don’t admit to it?
Jossip says, “Oh come on, you knew this day was coming. The day where you’d have to tear down all your Ryan Seacrest posters, scribble out his name in your notebooks, and stop planning for the time when you two could own all forms of media, forever and ever amen.
Lindsay Lohan was being interviewed on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and all but admitted that she was in a relationship with Samantha Ronson — Like we didn’t know.
When asked about plans for the future, Lohan said the most important thing to her was,
“living a happy, healthy year” and “being with the person that I care about.”
In other Lohan news — It was a prom-themed party last night as Lindsay celebrated her 22nd birthday at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
The birthday girl rocked a pink chiffon minidress while her rumored fiancé Samantha Ronson wore a tuxedo.
Nicole Richie’s ex DJ AM provided the music and guests were said to have included mom Dina, sister Ali, Joel and Benji Madden, David Spade, Audrina Patridge, Sean Stewart and Evan Ross.
You know, I have nothing but good things to say about Lindsay and her relationship with Ronson. Lindsay has never looked happier and she’s staying out of trouble. Hope you had a happy birthday, Lindsay!

Interested in seeing Denise Richards getting her bare ass sprayed down with some fake tanner in the shower?
Nah — me neither!
I’d rather talk about how Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards continue to battle the nastiness in court.
During a brief hearing today, a judge ordered the estranged exes to split $150,000 in attorney’s fees and costs related to their ongoing custody battle.
The duo’s nasty feud over their toddler daughters Sami and Lola seemed to simmer down in March, when both sides acknowledged some sort of mutually satisfactory agreement had been arrived at.
But last month, Richards told KIIS-FM host Ryan Seacrest that Sheen had stopped making child support payments. The sitcom star’s camp refused to “dignify the majority of these allegations set forth by Denise Richards with any measure of response.”
I love it when stuff like this happens to Denise, cause I know she cussed like a sailor when she heard the news. She really is full of herself.
