Ellen Degeneres has announced that she is take Paula Abdul's spot on American Idol, bringing all the speculation on the subject - which has plagued our summer - to an end.
After releasing a statement in which she said that she is "thrilled to be the new judge on American Idol,", the Daytime Emmy-winning talk show host continued "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."
However, despite the fact that we think she'll kick-arse-and-take-names on AI (come on, now. We've all seen her in action), there are reports that the public is divided, with some claiming she has no experience in the music industry (well, who did you want to take her place? Paris Hilton? We may love us some Paris, but Stars Are Blind was no Single Ladies), while some praise the decision, saying it'll bring a whole new vibe to the panel.
We personally cannot wait for AI to begin; for one thing, she's a hella lot more real than Ke-er-a (sigh... whatever) and actually has a personality (Ke-er-a again).
And besides, can't you just see Ellen dancing in the aisles already?
