American Idol Judges: Ellen DeGeneres announced that she was leaving the show after just one season due to her active and busy schedule with her organized daytime talk show, and besides she's feeling depressed by the emotional call of criticizing many contestants.
TMZ reports that Kara DioGuardi, a judge for the last two seasons, has been fired and American Idol has hired Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler to replace Ellen DeGeneres and Simon Cowell.
