ELLEN DEGENERES REGRETS SIGNING UP FOR IDOL?

Ellen DeGeneresELLEN DeGeneres is having second thoughts about joining American Idol — according to a new report.

The star — who already hosts a hugely-popular chat show — is said to be concerned about the time commitment and added work. She has been forced to tape The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier because of the demands of American Idol.

Ellen is also said to be considering her options after hearing whispers that Simon Cowell might quit the smash hit TV talent show.

In a recent interview, when the rumor is brought up that Cowell may leave the show when his contract expires later this year, DeGeneres said, “If Simon goes, I go!”

Adds a source, “She doesn’t want to do it if Simon isn’t on the show.”

The new season of Idol kicks off on January 12, but DeGeneres won’t be on until the contestants hit Hollywood on February 9.

    Ellen is a comedian – not a music critic. She does not belong on American Idol – she has no expertise in the music field and so far, in my opinion, has been less than mediocre. Why not drop her and have Randy, Keira and Simon and a guest judge – hopefully someone who knows something about music.
