07.30.10 Who Wants to Be an ‘Idol’ Judge?

Yesterday afternoon, news broke that Ellen Degeneres would not be returning to “American Idol” next season. She released a statement saying that the show “didn’t feel like the right fit” for her and that she didn’t like shattering young peoples’ dreams (shattered dreams, of course, are like oxygen to Simon Cowell).

In addition to that, TMZ is reporting that Kara DioGuardi has been fired. Factor in that Cowell is leaving “Idol” to helm “The X Factor,” and that leaves Randy Jackson, alone, forlornly telling young singers that it was “a little pitchy, dawg. A little pitchy.”

Actually, the new judges table is reportedly going to be Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, and my sources tell me that the show will be renamed “Oh, Is That Still On?”

That reminds me of a funny story a recording engineer at a major studio told me once. He had friends who were recording Jennifer Lopez, and she is not that great of a singer. She laid down a vocal track, and it took three engineers 24 CONSECUTIVE HOURS of pitch fixing to make it sound like it did. She came in the next day after they had finished with all her friends and was like “See? It’s me singing!”

Long story short she banged everyone in the studio.
