Ellen DeGeneres To Replace Paula Abdul On American Idol

• Tweet

Fox has confirmed that Ellen DeGeneres will be replacing Paula Abdul on American Idol after the spot was vacated this summer.

“I’m thrilled to be the new judge on American Idol,” Ellen said following the announcement. “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.

I dunno - weak choice! Can't they at least get someone who is in some way, shape or form connected to the music industry?
