Ellen says that she came to her decision a couple of months ago. She stated, “It was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.” They’ve also reported that Kara DioGuardi got fired from American Idol yesterday. They are going back to the three-judge format,and have reportedly completed a deal to bring singer/actress Jennifer Lopez on to replace Kara.
The only way Kara could get back on,is if Jennifer’s deal goes sour. Aerosmith lead singer, Steven Tyler is reportedly replacing Ellen on the show. However,that deal has not been conformed at this time.
