Is Ellen DeGeneres taking the place of Paula Abdul on American Idol?
My friend told me that on the next season on American Idol that Paula Abdul was not going to be appearing. I asked her why and she said she couldn't remember. So, then, like two weeks later, she says that Ellen DeGeneres was going to be taking Paula Abdul's place on American Idol. I think that's weird since Ellen DeGeneres isn't a singer and Paula Abdul was. I think maybe she misunderstood? Is it true?

Producers declined to renew Abdul's contract. She wanted several million more than she's worth. Her erratic behavior also played a part. Ellen was chosen because she's a music fan and much like the average American in that regard.
She's there to represent what the people at home likely think of the contestants. Producers figure it balances out with Randy and Simon being music biz experts. Also, there's a rotating guest judge for the first few episodes. Avril Lavigne is one of them. She and others were brought in before producers could sign Ellen for the rest of the season.

Yes, it's true. Ellen has confirmed it herself.
