Ellen to Replace Paula on American Idol

There is a god and she's listening!

I don't know how many American Idol fans are out there, but I suspect, there are soon to be many more lesbians. It was announced yesterday that Ellen Degeneres will take Paula Abdul's seat on the American Idol panel for the upcoming season of American Idol. She will join Randy Jackson, the delicious and ridiculously talented songwriter Kara Dioguardi and Simon "Scowl."

I heard this on CNN right before I went to bed last night and dreamt of rainbows and butterflies. Apparently, she Tweeted the news. Of her new gig, Ellen told People Magazine:

"I'm going to have a day job and a night job," DeGeneres said at her talk show taping Wednesday, assuring her audience that The Ellen DeGeneres Show will continue. "This is so exciting for me."

Booooooooooooooooooooo!

I have been lying in bed all day crying into my pillow because Adam lost last night. What an upset! While I think Kris Allen is uber talented, I sure wanted my Adam to win.

I embedded this amazing version of Track of My Tears (Smokey Robinson + Miracles) for your enjoyment (since he lost). [sniff sniff]

The tracks of my tears- Adam Lambert



Despite the surprising upset at the end, I thought it was a FANTASTIC show loaded with the biggest names in the music business. Thank God for Tivo because I have watched Kara rip off her dress at least fifteen times. (Okay, you got me--that's the real reason I didn't get out of bed.)

If you missed it, you can watch it below. If you don't know why Kara surprised bikini bimbo, Google it.

I love Kara DioGuardi because she is smart, brilliantly talented, articulate, generous, and, lastly smoking hot. Those damn Italians! Check out her website.

My Homage to Adam Lambert

So, how many of you out there watch American Idol? It's a guilty little pleasure this season, huh?

Who do you want to win tonight?

I'm rooting for homolicious Adam Lambert. There are so many things I love about Adam. For starters, his voice--[insert expletive here]! It is like nothing I've heard.

Second, I love the breadth of his style. See photos here. Third, I love his quiet confidence and humble pie. Lastly, I love that he kisses boys and paints his fingernails and America is STILL in love with him! The guy he's kissing in these photos looks like the same dude--does anyone know if it's his boifriend?

Who do you think is going to win? Take the poll to the left...

In the meantime, enjoy one of my favorite Adam hits this season: Tears For Fears' Mad World

UPDATE: See a photo of Adam's supposed boyfriend here.
