I&#8217;m not surprised. Are you? Do you remember when Simon told Oprah that when Ellen signed on to do Idol, she had no idea that Simon was about to drop his &#8220;I&#8217;m outta here&#8221; bombshell?   She started the day he quit, more or less.  Imagine that!   I&#8217;m betting that she decided to do one season right then and there.  Just my astute observation.<br \/>\n<strong>Kara fired?<\/strong><br \/>\nFurther &#8230; on the hot carpet, TMZ.com reports that Kara DioGuardi was fired from Idol, and that American Idol is reportedly returning to their three-judge format, which includes Randy Jackson.<br \/>\nI suspect that they are keeping Randy on, not because he&#8217;s the hottest dawg since sliced bread, but rather so that some semblance of continuity and comfort remain.  Three new judges would be too jarring.<br \/>\n<strong>Jennifer Lopez? Steven Tyler?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs I hear it, the three judges are Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.<br \/>\n<strong>But wait, what about P Diddy?<\/strong><br \/>\nP Diddy, a.k.a. Sean Combs, told George Lopez on his show Lopez Tonight, that he would love the job.<br \/>\n&#8220;At first when people were asking me if I was interested in the job I was like no &#8230; that&#8217;s not my style, but once I heard what Simon makes &#8230; [I] would love the job. . . . . I&#8217;ve got six kids. If I would get the same check Simon gets &#8230; we would have a ball.&#8221;<br \/>\nA word to P Diddy &#8211; <em>P. do you really need more to have a ball with your six kids?<\/em><br \/>\nAt the end of the day, the name of the show <em>is<\/em> <strong>American Idol<\/strong>.  And I am hoping that the contestants are compelling enough, both in song and story, to carry the show forward.   Remember when Fantasia sang <em>Stormy Weather<\/em>?
