One and Done

Amidst rumors that the whole panel of judges would be scrapped and a new line up would be front and center to tear apart the hopeful contestants when the new season of American Idol rolls around, Ellen says she’s been there, done that and won’t be back.

According to TMZ:

Ellen tweeted, “Dim the lights … I’ve voted myself off American Idol.”

Ellen claims she came to her decision, “a couple months ago” — and admits, “It was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings.”

She concludes, “I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”

Ellen is pretty smart…perhaps she realized the show has ran it’s course!
