BYE BYE PAULA ABDUL, HELLO ELLEN DEGENERES?

Ellen will be joining American Idol as the fourth judge, oddly enough.  I love Ellen, just never thought the show was a fit for her....Much luck to her.

ELLEN: “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 [eye]. … 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. So I’m hopefully going to be that voice of what we’re all doing at home.”
