So unless you were in a vacation bubble these past few days, you no doubt have heard the news. First Ellen DeGeneres quit “American Idol,” saying that it just wasn’t right for her in the end. Then came rumors that have basically been all but confirmed/reported by the media that Kara Dioguardi was fired (TMZ was the original source on this one).

Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are the names currently floating around as replacement judges. It seems that the show will probably just return to the three judge format. However obviously the only original judge left is Randy Jackson . . . which begs the answer to the question “Can The Show Still Work?”

Will anyone be surprised if Paula suddenly returned? At this point in the game, and in an attempt to save the show, I wouldn’t. I mean, do we remember who even won the show last season? Where is news on their album or single?

Personally, I think it’s time for “Idol” to just hang up the microphone.

So I had originally planned to flick between “Idol” and the CW, but when I realized it was Rolling Stones night on “Idol” I wasn’t caring as much. I’m not a Stones fan, and frankly I’m not a fan of most of these contestants this year. Worst batch ever? I think so, though the raitings still come in for it.

I actually liked “90210″ last night. The storyline with Annie deciding to confess to get Jasper off her back (blackmailing her to go out with him and more) was really good. I don’t exactly get how the draft email/message she was writing to her parents about the hit-n-run accidentally got sent . . . but whatever. It seems the truth is gunna be found out and soon! I honestly thought the knock at the door at the end was the cops and not Dixon’s birth mother.

The story with Teddy, Dixon and Silver did nothing for me. Everyone loves Silver, boring. I don’t get how Dixon suddenly fell back in love with her after not being able to stand her for so long, but whatever.

Adrianna and Gia (I think that’s the character’s name – Rumer Willis) watching “Love Story” was humorous as Ryan O’Neil is joining as Teddy’s movie star father. I am liking the story of Gia basically falling in love with Adrianna and wanted to see where it is going.

The fight between Naomi and Ivy over Liam was hilarious. However I’m over Naomi and Liam as a couple. They are boring and he is better off with Ivy. The introduction of Ivy’s mother was fun, and her sleeping with Mr. Matthews? I’m sure there is an awkward parent teacher conference coming up!

“Melrose” I still found myself not so interested in. The twist with Michael not being Noah’s father, and Lauren getting caught by Michael as a hooker at the end was really good I thought. Definitely makes one hate Michael again!

The Riley and Jonah story still bores me to tears, and I just don’t know why they feature these two as much as they do. Does anyone honestly like them? I think the show so fired the wrong people (Auggie and Violet). But hey, given the chances there will be a season 2 unless there is a miracle with the ratings, I guess I won’t cry too much. Something tells me though that Riley is gunna end up sleeping with Amanda’s man, and Amanda will come after her just like good ole times. But her heart condition is back, so maybe she’ll have a heart attack in the process?

The big news to come out in the last day, aside from the Leno fiasco, is Simon Cowell announcing he’s leaving “American Idol” after this season. He’ll be working on an American version of his UK talent show “X-Factor” for Fox. What this means for “Idol” is anyones guess. I don’t think it can keep going with only one of the original judges left, but we’ll see.

There is a rumor that Simon is going to put Paula on “X Factor” as a judge, but I think it’s only a rumor.

“Glee” has been given a 2nd season already, so rejoice with song “Glee” fans!

Other page updates soon. I’ve been posting and retweeting a lot of news links too, which can be found in the side bar.

EW broke the news last night that Ellen Degeneres is the new “American Idol” judge, replacing Paula Abdul.

Good or bad idea? I think she’ll have great feedback, but a lot think she has little to do with the music industry and wonder why her? Did they chose her just because she’s Ellen?

She should have something to say on her talk show today I’m sure!
