Quentin Tarantino has a guilty secret — he’s a huge fan of American Idol!

The Inglourious Basterds director says the FOX TV talent show won’t be the same following the departure of his favorite judge Paula Abdul.

“It’s the end of an era,” says Tarantino. “I can’t believe she was allowed to go. It’s not right and it’s a little sad. I knew one of those three would break, and it’s finally happened. I’m upset because I love that show.”

Tarantino recently revealed that he’s a huge fan of romantic comedies.

“These rom-coms get a bad rap but actually I’ve been a fan of romantic comedies since the 30s — they usually work on wordplay and everything like that, so I actually think I’d be really good at it,” he said.

“It is a guilty pleasure. I used to find it hard to actually go to the movies by myself, you want to have a date with you so you have an excuse to go.”
