LOS ANGELES – Ellen DeGeneres is dancing her way onto "American Idol," replacing Paula Abdul as the show's fourth judge. In a Wednesday release from Fox and the show's producers, DeGeneres described herself as a longtime fan of the hit singing contest.
Abdul, who announced she was quitting the show amid a contract dispute, had been replaced by a succession of guest judges as "American Idol" started next season's auditions.
DeGeneres, host of a daytime talk show, wasn't among them. She will join Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi for the ninth season starting in January.

bye bye ...
They just lost a viewer! Its time when this lesbian pervert who insults conservatives at every turn get called on the mat and viewers tune off.
Great! We get to watch a queer judge that will judge over queer contestants.
Hahahaha!
Ellen Degenerate onboard!!!
My prayers have been answered. Mrs. Jazzy says “Buh-bye” to American Idol!!!
Wow! Talk about dumb.
Wow....WORST CHOICE EVER....will KILL their ratings....
I don’t know the back story but I believe they’ve made a bad trade.
This won’t go over as well as they hope.
I realize people made fun of Abdul but she had a way of softening some of the harsher criticism, which the show needed.
Something is very queer about that choice
Don’t they realize Adam lost?
I mean, picking someone who has no connection to the music industry, isn't a successful solo singer, and someone who has an incredible habit of shooting her mouth off in interviews... We've watched our last full season of Idol.
Trading a crazy Californian for a queer bitter Texan....bad deal...I’ll take Paula any day.
That's fishy...
What does Ellen know about music?
She can ask all the gals if the rug matches the drapes....
Keep an eye on Big Brother on CBS. It might be a gay against a female athlete. This should be interesting since it seems like they are trying to get as much exposure as possible by trying to win these game shows.
You’re freaking kidding me. I caught a bit of her on “So You Think You Can Dance” and her inane prattling was a distraction. It was like listening to fingernails on a blackboard.
No one cares about the flaming fruit on BB.
We’ll no longer watch.
What?? Oh yeah, they picked Ellen Degenerate because she has so much musical experience. /sarc
