After one season of American Idol, newest and fourth judge Ellen Degeneres has voted herself off Fox’s number one show, Popeater.com just reported. After releasing a statement today, she tweeted, “Dim the lights….I’ve voted myself off American Idol. “ The statement read, “A couple months ago, I let Fox and the ‘American Idol’ producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me.” She went on to say, “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.” Ever since Fox refused to pay lovable, original judge Paula the money she asked for and deserved, the show has been on a downward spiral. Then Simon wasn’t happy. Then Ellen came but she never should have, one hit show is plenty. Then Simon left. And Ellen soon followed. Dumb Dumb Dumb. Bitter pill to swallow.
