American Idol: Ellen’s Demands Driving American Idol Producers Crazy

http://realitytvcalendar.com/shows/ai-9/news/0225-p1.html

Ellen DeGeneres is reportedly “driving everyone crazy” at American Idol.

Since signing her contract with Fox, the talk show host has allegedly started making demands.

Among her alleged demands: wife Portia de Rossi to sit in as a guest judge, a Mercedes and $150,000 for a new wardrobe.

“Ellen is insisting that her wife, Portia de Rossi, be a guest judge in a future episode of the reality show,” the source tells In Touch Weekly magazine. “And that’s not all — she’s also asking for a Mercedes, as a sign-on bonus — even though she’s already signed her contract.”

“She’s already redecorating her dressing room and driving everyone crazy with demands,” the insider adds.

Another source tells the National Enquirer DeGeneres “demanded $150,000 for her Idol wardrobe this year.”

DeGeneres, who replaced longtime Idol judge Paula Abdul, has not commented.

“Ellen is insisting that her wife, Portia de Rossi, be a guest judge in a future episode of the reality show,”

LOL

Based on Ellen's performance so far, she's not in a position to demand anything. If she left the show today no one would miss her.

Why not have Simon's fiance be a guest judge? Or Kara's husband? Or Randy's wife? Any one of them probably has more musical knowledge than Ellen and her "spouse" combined.

AAARGH! Portia di Rossi is nobody’s WIFE.

She is Ellen’s longtime companion, as my generation used to say. We had so much more dignity, sense, and discretion back then.
