Ellen Degeneres will have her American Idol debut tonight as she takes over for Paula Abdul in the judge’s chair. 

We hear there was some friction with Simon Cowell early and often and if we do watch it, it will be for that reason only.   Will the chemistry be the same or will this be a worse replacement than Conan was for Leno? 

So, I ask you this as the dust has settled on the whole Paula thing, will you watch American Idol tonight with Ellen or be like Drew Brees and pass?-Dr.FB

Simon Cowell Leaving American Idol; Will Work With Paula Abdul Again?

Posted in Celebrity News, Entertainment, Music, Television on January 11th, 2010 by drfunkencherry

American Idol will soon be missing the sneers and jibes from its most famous judge…

At the Television Critics Association gathering today in Pasadena, CA, Simon Cowell announced that this next season of American Idol will be his last.

He’ll be moving on to become a judge and executive producer on FOX’s upcoming American version of “The X Factor”, the British talent show that launched the career of Leona Lewis.

We’re also hearing rumors that Cowell is bringing Paula Abdul with him to the new show. The two lovebirds together again! I can hardly wait. 

I wonder how Ellen Degeneres is feeling about this? She’ll be joining a soon-to-be-sinking ship at American Idol. Without Simon Cowell, will Idol have the same punch? What do you guys think? – Dr.FB

Rage Against The Machine raged against Simon Cowell and won.  They wanted fans to download their 1992 song “Killing In The Name” to block X Factor for having the number one song for the 5th straight year in a row by the winner of the show.

The song reached number 1 on downloads only, which is a first in the UK.  Rage promises a free concert as a victory party. They also raised money for charity in their efforts.

Did any of our UK readers take part in this?  Wonder how tight Simon’s sweater is today.-Dr.FB

Wow. Fox has just announced that Ellen Degeneres is now the permanent 4th judge on American Idol and is replacing Paula Abdul.

Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, what’s her face and Ellen. Wow.

Ellen will be a judge for the next 5 years. Ellen has already released a statement:

“I’m thrilled to be the new judge on AMERICAN IDOL,” said DeGeneres. ”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 had no idea they were even considering Ellen.  What do you all think of this move?-Dr.FB

Forever Your Girl? Paula Abdul May Not Leave Idol

Posted in Celebrity News on August 6th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

I am getting from VERY reliable sources that Paula Abdul is in last minute talks regarding a contract for American Idol.

Fox wants her back but they are apart on how much money per year. After Ryan seacrest’s huge increase, you knew this would happen! Keep what you make on the downlow so your co-workers don’t get pissed.

Paula is saying Simon misses her and it seems like her co-workers are pulling for her.

It could also do with a lot o polls saying they wouldn’t watch Idol without Paula.

I will keep you updated.-Dr.FB
