Ellen DeGeneres is officially out of “American Idol,” because she “hated being critical,” says a source familiar with negotiations.
In fact, Gossip Cop hears she asked to be released from her contract the day last season ended, but was told there was no chance unless they found another panel.
Which brings us to today’s HUGE news.
Gossip Cop hears from a reliable source that offers have been made to Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.

At least Tyler can sing, Jennifer Lopez - not so much.
If they were smart they’d ask William Hung to judge the show...might offer some laughs.
I thought The Love Boat and Hollywood Squares is where careers went to die.
This show’s just a lousy spinoff of “American Idol”.
She doesn’t need to sing.
I dunno...I haven't heard a peep out of Joe Perry since he appeared with Sanjaya.
Just kill the show already.. it’s time to send it to re-runs land.. haven’t followed it for a couple years at least.. after they shafted Paula,, the thrill was gone.
I’ve never seen it but can’t imagine it will survive long without Simon?
“I’ve never seen it but can’t imagine it will survive long without Simon?”
I agree. Steven Tyler will have to step up and be critical and somewhat funny, or the show just won’t work.
“She doesn’t need to sing”
Amen to that!
What happened to Bret Michaels?? Thought he was moving in....
Jennifer should make more movies. I love her acting.
What happen to Harry Connick Jr? He was great when he was a mentor last season. Will he go to Simon’s new show?
