Ellen DeGeneres is The New American Idol Judge

Ellen DeGeneres

With Paula Abdul not returning for the newest season of American Idol there has been a bit of a scramble to find a replacement. There have been special guest judges though with Victoria Beckham, Katy Perry, and rumor of the Jonas Brothers. I like that idea best. They did hire that other judge (no one really cares who she is) last season, who tore off her dress at the season finale, so why they need a 4th full time judge is beyond me.

Anyways, a new full time judge has been chosen and no it’s not your cousin who sends her text message every 10 seconds. Ellen DeGeneres has taken up the mantel of AI Judge!

“I’m thrilled to be the new judge on American Idol,” DeGeneres says. “I’ve watched since the beginning, and I’ve always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I’ll save from not having to text in my vote.”

Ummm… I know Ellen dances on her TV show, and she’s been a stand up comedian for decades, but she’s not a singer. Does that matter? I mean, at least Paula Abdul had been a singer. With hit albums I might add.

Do you like the idea of Ellen joining Simon, Randy, and whats-her-name? Does it matter that she’s not a singer? Or do you like the fan aspect of Ellen?

Nick Jonas is 'King'

What to do on a lay over in an airport? EAT! I eat, all the time, but when it comes to airports, I gravitate to the familiar. Nick Jonas and his dad Paul Jonas had some quality time together as they grabbed a burger and some fries (oh YUM!) at the Burger King in the Nashville International Airport in Tennessee. I wonder if he got a toy with that meal….

Russell Brand promotes Book?

fp_1979396_brand_russell_nyc_030909

Comedian Russell Brand (and his hair) is back on this side of the Atlantic, this time promoting his new book “My Booky Wook” on The Late Show with David Letterman. He always has a little too much to say that most American’s don’t get, MTV VMAs anyone? So I wonder how well this book will do over here. Amazon has this on the book

Russell Brand learned early on to make a joke of fear and failure. From a troubled childhood in industrial Essex, England, to his descent into addictions to alcohol, drugs, and sex in the seamy underbelly of London, Brand has seen his share of both and miraculously lived to tell the tale. In My Booky Wook he leads readers on a rollicking journey through his disastrous school career, his infamous antics on MTV, and his multifarious sexual adventures. But this irreverent memoir is a story not simply of struggle but also of redemption, a testament to the difficulty of discovering what you want from life and the remarkable power of a bloody-minded determination to get it. My Booky Wook is a giddy trip through the brilliant mind of one of Britain’s most valuable exports.

Russell also has a new special on Comedy Centeral Russell Brand In New York City and I highly recommend you see it… here’s a taste
