Ellen Vs. Simon: DeGeneres Is NOT Happy With Cowell!

ellensim.jpg

It has begun!

It's only the first day of Hollywood week and the shit is already hitting the fan for the American Idol judges. Apparently, Ellen DeGeneres thought everyone was kidding when they said Simon Cowell is an ass!

During the filming of her first episode, Ellen became frustrated when she arrived on time for the taping and Simon did not. He showed up an hour and a half late! Furious that she tiredlessly rearranged her schedule to accommodate the show and Simon could care less, she called him out on his ego and called him a prima donna!

Fighting words! But what can you expect from the guy? It's like his senior year of high school now! He just needs to get through it, collect his diploma paycheck and skedaddle.

But the incident has left some bad blood between Ellen and the Brit, so Ellen made a quick phone call to Fox alternative programming chief Mike Darnell to make a simple request: hire his successor already!

We think you've got awhile before that happens! Good thing we know Ellen can handle herself!

Go get'em, girl!

      LOL, ELLEN IS DUMB. DID SHE NOT DO HER HOMEWORK BEFORE SIGNING ON THE DOTTED LINE? BETTER YET HAS SHE NOT WATCHED XFACTOR?? APPARENTLY SHE HAS ONE OF THOSE "SHOULD HAVE KNOWN" CLAUSES IN HER CONTRACT. TOO BAD SHE DIDNT READ IT. JUST SAYIN.



    2. 2

      Why do people even watch that show? Same songs sung every year, just different contestants, Same lame wannabes, same comments, same crying losers, etc. etc. And then the winner is usually forgotten. Crap show.

      English/Journalism lesson #8 billion: It's tirelessly, not tiredlessly and it's couldn't care less, not could care less. Take not of these.



    4. 4

      Ellen should just shut her little twat mouth up. She doesn't even belong there.



    5. 5

      I DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHIET.



    6. 6

      WELL AT LEAST THE LAST PART



    7. 7

      honestly, that's the best thing Ellen can do. she's been a clean example and has kept her image intact for all these years. she doesn't need to be on AI at all. the only thing she can get from AI is a huge stain in her image that probably won't fade away. Get out of there while you're still intact Ellen. Luvs you!!!!



    8. 8

      More gossip drummed up by the American Idol Machine.



    9. 9

      First of all Perez, Hollywood week happened well before Christmas. As we found out yesterday, they are already down to the final 24 contestants. Second, Ellen said it herself, that she would not be on the panel until the live shows, so this story doesn't sit well with me!!!



    10. 10

      OH! IT'S ELLEN'S BIRTHDAY TODAY.
      HAPPY BDAY 2 HER :D

    13. 13

      AI without Simon is finished…



    14. 14

      OK I like Ellen but I think she's getting a little ahead of herself! She is in no position to tell anyone where to be and at what time! She just started! Simon has been doing this for years and it is basically his show! She beds to watch herself! She could be easily replaced!



    15. 15

      This story sounds 100% fabricated.



    16. 16

      The story is to far fetched to believe. It is so not Ellen.



    17. 17

      Get him, Ellen!



    18. 18

      OMG, did Simon make Ellen cry??????????? Now, WE LOVES IT!



    19. 19

      Ellen isn't qualified to be there anyway so she needs to chill. Being the new kid, she is out of place trying to throw her weight around. So full if herself - she's the prima dona!



    20. 20

      PS, A.I. puts out this sh*t for ratings! ACTING OUT FOR RATINGS! Do they really think the public is THAT stupid?! HAAAAAAAAA



    21. 21

      ok, it's one thing to sit next to him while he is a dick but he's not the only famous and BUSY person there so for him to show up that frigging late…god, i wouldn't flipped my shit on him.



    22. 22

      He's a diva and he knows it.



    23. 23

      "Tiredlessly" is not a fucking word, ffs.
      THIS IS YOUR JOB!!! Can you please try to use ACTUAL words?
      Is that so much to ask?



    24. 24

      Team Ellen allll tttthhheeee wwwaayyyyy!!!!!



    25. 25

      Well, if Ellen is not happy, she should bow out of the show. Let us bring in Shania! She would be a great judge!



    26. 26

      what do you expect from a british douchebag that has found a little fame in America?



    27. 27

      GO ELLEN. Someone needs to but arrogant Simon in his place. No matter how rich you are, it's still pays and is polite to arrive on time.

      However, Ellen should've been aware this would've happened.



    28. 28

      that doesnt sound like Ellen at all…so im calling bullshit.

    29. Heh says – reply to this


      29

      LMAO !! In her delusional mind maybe … Yeah that ought to fix the problem since they will probably (at her request of course) let Simon go early preferably around sweeps time yeah that makes sense and bring in someone new before his last year is over, make it happen Ellen …hahahahaha



    30. 30

      This is going to be a train wreck, Two BIGEgos in the same room…..



    31. 31

      $100,000,000 and the dude can't be on time? Blow his fucking head off.



    32. 32

      This story smells like a "plant" to up the viewership of Idol. It seems extremely fabricated. Also, do you now outsource your blog to ESL people? The grammer and spelling are absolutely horrible. She "tiredlessly" rearranged her schedule? What does that mean? Also, go back and re-read the post about Tiger Woods. What a mess.



    33. 33

      Go Ellen, Go Ellen! It probably won't change anything, but it's great that she stood up for herself and other people who are waiting around for him. Everyone's time is equally important, I don't care who you are.



    34. 34

      Ellen does not belong on Idol.
      They shafted Paula to put someone with no musical background as a judge?
      The show has no credibility now.
      That is like a plumber showing up to do open heart surgery.



    35. 35

      He doesn't approve of the replacement choice they made! I mean honestly, couldn't they have picked someone with music history! What the gell does she know about the music industry. Its just not credible that they chose her and he feels the same!
      I think the show will be doomed without Simon to steer them all and Ellen stay will be short lived because the show will not survive!



    36. 36

      I knew it…LESBIANS DON'T TAKE SHIT FROM MEN…this is going to be GREAT!



    37. 37

      I am SOOOOOOOO over Ellen De-fucking-Generes, I could puke!



    38. 38

      I think Ellen is obliged to wait on Simon since he's richer than she is.



    39. 39

      I am from New Orleans and sorta knew Ellen when we were teenagers, well… I knew her brother Vance and she was around at times at shows. She was always nice, but come on, she has been in Hollywood long enough to know the deal. She should shut her bearded clam hole. Simon made the show and the only reason that she is there is because Paula made a tactical error thinking that she was valued as much by the show as she is by the people. Ellen, Love you, but go back to your show and leave prime time to the pros. Your professionalism and goodsportsmanship is unappreciated by the types who enjoy Simon rip someone a new one.



    40. 40

      HAHA what is she doing! I LOVE her but COME ON ELLEN HAVE YOU NOT REAL WATCHED AI?? ARE YOU SERIOUS ! I need to start watching they are gonna have some good cat fights ! It has to be a SHOW thing no doubt! always good for ratings! Cuz I WILL be tuning in soon :) !

      She must be professional. He is too, but he's got big things to do. It ain't easy being a mogul. Maybe she should find out what kept him before beaking off, if she even did say anything like this in the first place.



    42. 42

      Re: LizardKinG – I agree…



    43. 43

      Ellen is a dumb D.
      When Simon leaves the show, Idol is DONE!

      The next show, X-Factor, is going to replace Idol. And Idol is over. Stayed on 2 seasons too long. Time to put it to sleep. And watch the ratings go down when Ellen starts with those lame ass jokes.

      American Idol is finished, thanks to Degeneres.



    44. 44

      It's "couldn't care less" not "could care less"

      I like Simon, but he needs to have consideration for other people's schedules. I enjoy watching the auditions including Hollywood, after that I usually don't watch.



    46. 46

      Re: bigray – Oh god we have to deal with ANOTHER Lamebert? can this one actually sing better? Lol…



    47. 47

      It's sad when filthy rich people can't get along. Can't they just get together and talk about money? That should make them happy.

    48. pj88 says – reply to this

      Who the fuck does she think she is? This is HIS show.. he can do what he wants. I like Ellen, but she has no business on AI.



    49. 49

      tiredlessly?



    50. 50

      Re: obama – umm don't you mean take notE of this?



    51. 51

      Before this is over with they will be calling this the second Ellen Show



    52. 52

      I hear Ellen is a control freak, and is difficult to work with. This story sounds about right.



    53. 53

      Ellen I understand is the one that runs her show with an iron fist. I heard she is a real hard ass with her staff. I hope Idol flops. losing Paula was bad enough but without Simon it will never be the same.
