There has been a HUGE shake-up on the Fox competitive TV series American Idol in just the past few hours … late yesterday, Ellen DeGeneres (the newest judge on the show) announced on her official Twitter profile that she has quit the show after just one season. Ellen broke the news on her Twitter profile and posted a link to a more lengthy explanation as to why she decided to quit the show, which you can read in full here:

Dim the lights…I’ve voted myself off American Idol. / A couple months ago, I let FOX and the “American Idol” producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me. I told them I wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on “Idol” and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.

Wow. Ellen signed a multimillion dollar, multi-year deal to judge American Idol but had a clause that allowed her to leave the show if Simon Cowell ever left the show … now that she’s out after just one year, I understand that Fox will still have to pay her out of her contract. Additionally, it is being reported that the next newest judge Kara DioGuardi has been fired from the show! Apparently, Fox wants to go back to the 3 judge panel and has reportedly already hired all three judges … and you’ll never believe who they are. Find out, after the jump …

Sources connected with the “American Idol” negotiations tell TMZ Kara DioGuardi has judged her last contestant on “American Idol” — because she’s been fired. We’re told the show will be going back to a three-judge format and assuming all deals are finalized, the judge’s panel will consist of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. We’re told the only way Kara could get a reprieve is if the J-Lo deal falls apart — but we’re told that deal is done. Ellen DeGeneres announced earlier Thursday that she was leaving the show after just one season.

That’s right, AI has decided to keep Randy Jackson (for some UNGODLY reason) and has reportedly signed on both Jennifer Lopez (not a bad choice) and Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler (WTF?!). Except for J. Lo, none of this makes sense … at all. I’ve never been a big American Idol fan but all this bullshizz about the judges just shows exactly what is wrong with the show. Shouldn’t the focus of the show be on the unknown American Idols competing in the competition? A panel of judges made up of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler makes no sense to me at all … I couldn’t think of 3 more random people to judge any competition. Now that Ellen and Kara are out and these 3 stooges are in, Fox thinks they’ve got a winning plan in place to save their show? I’m not convinced. I wonder if they even considered bringing back Paula Abdul … her return makes the most sense to me but I guess the decision has already been made. Fox should announce the official line-up of judges on Monday … does any of this sound like good news to you?
