ELLEN THREATENS TO QUIT AMERICAN IDOL IF HOWARD STERN BECOMES A JUDGE

ellen-idolELLEN DeGeneres is not happy about those rumors shock jock Howard Stern might be replacing Simon Cowell on American Idol.

In fact, Ellen has reportedly told Idol producers that if Howard does join the judges’ panel, she’ll quit the show.

“Ellen has made it crystal clear that if Howard IS hired, she’d immediatley leave the show.

“She’s told just about anyone who will listen she’s opposed to the idea.”

Howard recently addressed rumors Ellen is against him joining the show.

“I read in the paper that they want to give me $100 million to judge a karaoke contest, and that seems like pretty good pay for something as dumb as that,” he told Entertainment Tonight last month.

“Ellen has said she won’t work with me, but quite frankly, after watching her on the stupid show, I gotta tell ya, I won’t work with Ellen. She’s out if I come in.”

    Perfect. Howard wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Good…let her leave. She’s added nothing of interest to a show that’s going down faster than the Titanic. She’s just jealous that Howard has more experience with music than her & they’d pay him more money for his HONESTY.

    BTW…Trying to keep someone from obtaining employment is a pretty low thing to do….

    I think ELLEN is AWESOME!!! I will definately quit watching if Howard Stern becomes judge. Why don’t they consider Piers Morgan from America’s Got Talent to take Simon’s place? He resembles Simon in alot of different ways and at least people will watch it. If Howard Stern becomes judge, Idol will lose their audience not only because he is on the show but Ellen leaving. I think Ellen coming on the show, she’s nice plus she has been a fan the entire time and has great input. Ellen keep up the great work. Your the best!

      Really Darlene? Are we watching the same show. All Ellen has said is that everything is great and she loves everyone. She is horrid on the show. Howard Stern would draw many more viewers. let’s be real, Ellen should stick to her talk show and her dancing. She’s good at that.

    Please whomever is in charge of putting the judge’s on Idol panel. PLEASE KEEP THAT FOULMOUTHED BIGOT of a Stearn off the panel. He is a TOTAL JERK & CERTAINLY would NOT be an asset to the decency that is seen on your show on a regular basis. Howard Stern is a DISGRACE to humanity. Respectfully submitted: LaVerne B.

    Howard Stern is a real live DONKEY and what gives him the right to get on the air and talk down about anybody when he looks like a real live crackhead.
