Ellen Degeneres! That’s right, our favourite daytime lesbian is going to be the newest fulltime judge on American idol, filling Paula Abdul’s spot after she left the show. Degeneres (website) made the announcement on her television show yesterday. She said she has been in talks for the position for weeks, dying to share the information, but unable to. She hopes to bring a different type of judging to the show. She won’t be judging like a music producer does, she’ll be judging like someone whose going to buy the music would. Hopefully like someone watching from home would. Either way, I bet she’s hilarious. Watch her announcement below, thanks to TowleRoad.
