Judge & Be Judged Says Ellen

October 18, 2009

Her new gig on American Idol still has some people in a tizzy, concerned Ellen DeGeneres isn't the right fit for the show.

We tell them to shut their effing mouths! She is going to be BRILLIANT!

Ellen is obviously a lot nicer than we are, so she attempts to explain on her show today that her position as judge on this upcoming season of American Idol is an ideal fit for her, saying:

"Apparently, there's a lot of debate going on right now, whether I'm qualified or not to be the new judge on 'American Idol'… I'll tell you right now, how I know I'm going to be a great judge - because I've spent my whole life being judged. So, I know what it's like. So, I will be kind. I will be compassionate. I will be empathetic, and I will be truthful. I will be an honest judge without being mean."

She goes on further to report that she isn't listening to what the haters have to say and avoids any kind of media in which she could hear what the critics have to say. One person she isn't ignoring, however, is Paula Abdul, who spoofed the talk show host on her hosting gig at VH1 Divas. Ellen had a message to send back to Paula: "I have nothing but love for you too Paula - but I want my wig back. I really do. Give it back."

Are U still on the fence about the change or are you on board will Ellen as the new judge of AI?
