American Scandal: Kara Is Still In

Filed under: American Idol > Simon Cowell

wenn2384230kara__opt1.jpg

In a taping for Tuesday's airing of the Ellen DeGeneres show, Simon Cowell told Ellen that, much to the public's dismay, Kara DioGuardi is staying on the show after all.

He also admitted that he doesn't like the 4 judge panel because it limits the amount of time he gets to listen to his own voice. He said, "There’s less time for us to talk. One week literally we couldn’t talk."

Si also said that Ryan Seacrest lost popularity due to his flashy entrance because it makes the diminutive host appear "more pompous, obnoxious, taking himself a bit seriously."

It should be Simon on that lighted staircase!

Bu, don't worry, Cowell didn't completely forget to take his happy pills that morning. He said he likes Adam Lambert because "he has guts."

The fact that he also has balls might not be so bad to Simon either.

P.S. Paula Abdul has yet to re-sign her contract for next season!

    Yawn. Kara is boring. Let me know if she starts popping Vicodin or gives Simon a hand job under the judge's table.



  6. 6

    Simon is my favorite judge, I don't really care about Paula or Kara but I like Kara better because Paula just rambles on like a crackhead. And Ryan Seacrest is LAME!



  7. 7

    i agree with him that there isn't really enough time for all 4 judges to talk- but i do like kara's contribution… however, if anyone has to go, it has to be her. i mean, we need randy even though his dawg/dude talk makes me INSANE. was that ever cool??? it's not anymore, so randy, "here's the thing," STOP SAYING DAWG…



  8. 8

    no one cares. can we have some real news. dumass topics.

    Re: SERiNA
    what makes paula incredible is that she rambles on in her vicodin high! if you saw her at the tryouts, with the scream singer that scared everyone b/c he was so loudly screaming… well, if you saw that, and her jumps and pencil-flings… well, you'd never say a bad word about her again. she is a comedienne (even if on crack- tho i don't condone drug use! even prescription drug use/abuse!)



  10. 10

    And Mario, wouldn't you like those balls resting on yer chin!!!!!!!!!!!
    NEXT FATSOooooo!!!!!!!!!!

    They really need to change the format of this show if it's going to continue to succeed. It would be cool to see behind the scenes of what goes on in the house or wherever the contestants stay at. Seeing that drama would give viewers a better sense of who these people are before we vote for them. Just a thought.



  12. 12

    Wow, this four judge thing sucks! Someone needs to go…I was hoping it would be Kara b/c well, honestly I do not like her on the panel, she makes me cringe. So boo hiss to AI

  13. @v@ says – reply to this

    Give Paula a big, fat contract, sez I. She's the one genuine thing about that show.
    Actually, Simon has gotten somewhat genuine himself. I wonder if Paula has influenced his style. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. No Paula = no watchee, for me.



  14. 14

    I LIKE KARA….I THINK SHE SHOULD BE A BIT MORE BALLSY WITH HER CRITIQUES THOUGH, LIKE SHE WAS DURING THE AUDITIONS. SHE'S ALSO WAY HOT & STYLISH. GREAT SONG WRITTER TOO….JUST ALL AROUND TALENT….JUDGING THOUGH, KICK IT UP A NOTCH GIRL!



  15. 15

    I love Kara! I am so glad she will be back!!!



  16. 16

    i absolutely HATE kara. everything she says is always the complete opposite of what the performance really was. and she is annoying. i hate her. what we all really want to see is one of simons and paula's arguements get completely out of control.



  17. 17

    i dont watch it at all to much hype outtakes maybe if theres nothing on and im bored….



  18. 18

    i really don't mind kara at all. her input seems to be more valuable than anything paula has ever had to say on that show.

    Re: SuperNovaTop – You want real news, go on a real news site. Dumbass, did you notice what website you're on?



  20. 20

    I really like Kara- her comments are actually appropriate to the industry. I think the best thing AI did was to add her as a judge. The past few years that three judge panel became so redundant.." you made it your own." " I don't know dawg." " You thought you were better than you were." You could predict the comments- yawn. Kara has forced everyone to up his or her game. Paula's vocab has doubled this year!



  21. 21

    BLEHHH! If they don't get rid of this ______ I will fucking stop watching.



  22. 22

    Yat & ymi. Smile for me, bg :)



  23. 23

    You really are useless Mario - Even when you make-up a controversey which has zerio merrit, you still can't be-humlbe your fat ass when the truth is revealed.

    Get a real job dumpy!

    Love her or Hate her, she's got the background for what this show needs. Someone that has been in the industry and knows that it takes to be successful…not just an engineered voice and lucky string of hits from the 80's.

    Week after week Kara offers very complex and highly constructive critiques to the contestants, whereas Paula offers up such gems as "You look so pretty tonight," and "I am so glad to see you having a good time."

    Seriously…if Idol wants to remain relevant, they have to ditch Paula in favor of Kara.

    The show would never be the same without Paula, SIMON, & Randy! kara can do whatever she wants, all she does is copy what Randy says!



  26. 26

    Not funny.



  27. 27

    i hate kara … she has added NOTHING 2 the show, u hear that, NOTHING!!!



  28. 28

    I don't mind Kara. She actually has talent and business smarts.



  29. 29

    I hope Paula stays



  30. 30

    Who cares.
    Am only watching the show because of Adam this season.
    VOTE FOR ADAM !!
