JLo Replacing DeGeneres On IDOL!! Big Live Nutty On BROTHER!! JERSEY SHORE Returns!! Realityrama!!

Published at:  Jul 29, 2010 11:49:19 PM CDT





I am – Hercules!!

UPDATE!! Deadline reports Jennifer Lopez is replacing Ellen DeGeneres on "American Idol."

Wow!! That should make no difference at all!!

ORIGINAL POST:

With Simon Cowell off to bring the very similar “X-Factor” to Fox in about a year, producers are rethinking how to keep “American Idol” at number one among all series on American TV.



The post-Cowell plan apparently does not include Ellen DeGeneres, who has long indicated a willingness to continue with the show into the post-Cowell era but announced minutes ago she would not be continuing with the franchise.

“A couple months ago, I let Fox and the 'American Idol' producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me,” DeGeneres said. “I told them I wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on 'Idol' and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”

If I remember correctly, Fox has its TCA presentation Monday, so expect more on Idol’s plans in thenext few days. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Randy Jackson may be the only judge returning from last season.



In other reality news, as word spread of DeGeneres' exit, “Big Brother’s” live eviction show enjoyed one of the strangest outsters in the show's history.

Also? I think MTV’s “Jersey Shore” returns with regular episodes on MTV tonight.

    Fox shoulda just replaced Idol with X-Factor

    by tall_boy66

    However, I think they're seeing visions in their head of an all season round reality song ratings domination, so X-Factor gets the fall slot and Idol gets the winter slot. Why is X-Factor coming out in fall 2011? Does it really take that long to get a reality show up and running for October? (they're gonna get bounced back anyway with the World Series airing)

    by blackwood

    I didn't like the guy. He was really cold and irritating, terribly hen-pecky and not stable. He went off on Kristen like a madman and had the audacity to be shocked and appalled when she fired back at him.But I have to congratulate him for one of the most impressive live-tv reality show moments I've ever seen. Truly crazy, even the Chen-bot cracked a bit.I had bowed out of BB for five or so seasons, just tuned in this year because it's the first summer in half a decade I have cable. But man, the human and social drama is great. I don't remember it being this good.

    by blackwood

    After watching So You Think You Can Dance, I am shocked - SHOCKED - at how great a show it is. Cat Deeley is the best host - she should replace Ryan Seacrest. He is a pile of grinning shit and I can't stand him. If they aren't going to scrap it, they should really retool it - like SYTYCD is genuinely about the talent, and the atmosphere is really positive. More like workshopping. I often left an episode of AI feeling embarrassed or cold, but Dance makes me very happy.I also think they should just shelve Idol, but they won't.

    Seriously. I find her a fascinating mix of completely irritating and shockingly smart. Watching her and Brendon emotionally manipulate each other is compelling television. I want Matt to die in a fire. He's such a tiny king in an imagined kingdom - when his shit fail spectacularly, he always tries to find a new way to prop himself up. Like his toothy beast of a wife who they trotted out before the cameras tonight. She didn't seem too bright. I think he probably married her because she thinks he's super super smart and Matt strikes me as the kind of dick that needs constant stroking.On a side note, I find it interesting that BB turns me into a raving judgmental catty bitch about complete strangers. I have feelings about Survivors, but... shit.

    JayLeno I'm not really a Jehovahs Witness

    by jehovahs_witness

    Just like I'm sure Jay Leno didn't really steal your job. But while we're on the subject of names, you really should put something you hate within your screenname, like using Jay Leno if you hate the guy, because I always picture him when I see your posts, so I kind of picture you as him. Ya know? Define yourself by what you love, not what you hate. As for my name, it was random, and I'm neutral towards it, and I figure it won't last long because I get banned so often that it's like changing socks in the morning.

    finally had someone that could really sing so they could give actual integrity infused advise and criticism with some measure of authority. I'd have to watch if either Harry Connick Jr. or Chris Isaak ended up being a judge. Because beyond those two being humorously endearing, engaging and entertaining, they're also compelling artist in their own right.

    by mr. profit

    When she appeared on "Idol" as a mentor, she transformed the kids who were all over the place into a credible group of singers when she was their mentor. She even got a good performance out of the awful Sanjaya. She treated the job seriously, gave them good advice on pitch and which key to sing in and did well. Good for her. Also Jersey Shore is awesome... Fuck the haters.

    relevant and entertaining as well. fire Randy, Ellen and that other chick. hire J.Lo, Shakira, and Cameron Diaz. and instead of judging the contestants, just have them stand on the table and shake their asses for 5 minutes after every performance. it would be far more fun to watch, and yet, strangely, just as helpful in determining which contestant is the best singer.

    Howard Stern might be joining the show?

    by strosmer

    I don't think so! First, let me say that unless you actually listen to the Howard Stern Show, you don't know jack shit about Howard Stern. The man is unquestionably one of the greatest entertainers of the past century. The 20 million (that's TWENTY MILLION!) listeners he had on free radio is testament to the fact, as are the millions of subscribers he brought to satellite radio, so please do us all a favor and STFU already - you simply don't know what you're talking about.Stern doesn't give a shit about hosting AI, but has admitted he'd be stupid to pass up a $100+ mil paycheck if he was offered as much. Simon Cowell himself said Stern would be the only suitable replacement for him. Who else expresses themselves as honestly? And the viewership would not go down, it would just shift. The viewers who would stop watching the show because of Stern, would simply be replaced by his fans, or anyone curious to see Stern as a judge. I haven't watched AI for 2 years now, but if Stern hosted, I'd start watching again in a heartbeat.I'd like to take this opportunity to say that Stern haters are nothing but self-righteous assholes unable to comprehend his genius. His listeners comprise the broadest range of demographics in all of media, and he is anything but washed up, or irrelevant. A footnote? Stop talking out your ass!

    Stern does not bring business to Sirius

    by professor_monster

    I'm sorry but your information is wrong. I can understand you believing it because Stern love to spew his own propaganda. Sirus as a company is doing bad - not just bad, but so bad it's had to borrow against it's own margin to stay afloat for the past 4 years. Sterns show, if you were going by reconfigured ratings to adjust for the lower volume of listeners of sat-radio than terrestrial - Sterns show is in 14th place in sat-radio market - opie and anthony, Rush, hell, even the market report beats Stern's show without even trying . You should really try to read the wall street journal when talking about markets and how well certain people are doing - 20mil?? Ha, not even on his best days. Artie Lang could have died for a week and Stern wouldn't clear those numbers. Stop believing the salesman, son. His days ended a long time ago.

    im a current sattelite radio subscriber..

    by professorjack

    and it is the most archaic, out of touch, obsolete service I can think of. At one point, I believed...I thought it was the future of radio. Now, itunes & the internet has countless free music services that are way better than satellite radio can compare. As for talk? I dont see how podcasts arent the future. Great comedians & other interesting personalities streaming at my fingertips that are truly uncensored & commercial free. Ok, maybe they don't do as many shows as Howard (even with the 4 days a week & 4months of vacation time he has) but its good enough. Also, the customer service on sirius is the absolute worst costumer service i've ever dealt with in my life

    by strosmer

    There's no talking to you on this one, RPL. You obviously don't listen to Stern.Professor, what are you talking about? First, don't patronize me. Second, I'm no sheep. I listen to Stern because he's one of the funniest, real, and honest people I've ever heard. I know propaganda when I see/hear it. Stern sells himself through sheer talent and integrity. If you read my post, I was praising Stern as one of the greatest entertainers of the past century, and referenced 20 mil listeners from FREE RADIO (which represented his entire audience, not daily). When did I ever bring up markets, or ratings, or Sirius? I said nothing of Sirius being successful in and of its own right. I am perfectly aware that the company is struggling despite Stern's presence. All I said was he brought millions of subscribers to satellite radio. He did. Even if my numbers are off, the point is he is relevant. Based on his status as a broadcasting legend alone, he's relevant. When do you ever hear about Opie and Anthony in the news? Who else was discussed as possible replacements for Simon Cowell? Not many people. None of Stern's caliber. Do I need to bring up the fact that to this day any TV appearances he makes cause ratings to go through the roof? That if he mentions a product on his 14th place (as you say) show, said product flies off the shelves? That when he quits radio, he still will remain active in productions? No, Stern's legacy is still being written, SON. And thank god for that.

    by jehovahs_witness

    ...why do you spend precious time on your commute reading articles about Snooki? No one reads the paper cover to cover from the obituaries to the want ads. People only read articles that interest them. That's why you read articles about Snooki and click on articles here that have Jersey Shore in the title to spend your time talking about Jersey Shore. Because you love to talk about Jersey Shore while pretending not to give a shit about the show. You're a poser. A phony.

    Stern and his lemmings

    by professor_monster

    See, 20 million has nothing to do with Sirius - he NEVER EVER had those numbers. Not at K-Rock, not then not ever. I read a book once on forced mentioning - Stern fit that to a tee, lying to his listeners about his pay, achievements and importance -- as well as cheering all the fake phone calls that mention his name like at the crime scene of Princess Diana's death. Not taste - all that mattered to him was convincing the world he was something they needed to look at - most never did and guess what if you really want to find his numbers - not by listening to him or watching Private Parts - they are there. Hell Man, Don Imus and Rush were kicking his ass while he was at k-rock

    RE: RedBull_Werewolf

    by waterson

    I was just as pissed at seeing no Big Brother explanation. What happened was this: An idiotic Mensa member put up two "floaters" in the house instead of the power couple which everyone loathes, with the idea that he can backdoor one of the members of said couple. However, that doesn't come to pass, and one of the nominated houseguests who was up for eviction, Andrew, goes nuts. See, Andrew was already pretty much an outcast, as the houseguests saw him as a weirdo, and he was told he was simply being nominated as a pawn, which he didn't believe in the slightest. Andrew also happened to sleep in the same room as Kristin, who is secretly in a relationship with some mop head, who is allied with the idiotic mensa member and two other guys. Come eviction night, Andrew talks quite fast and spills the beans on EVERYTHING. He outs the secret couple, and in doing so reveals what Kristin said about her friends in the house, as well as the members of mop-head's alliance. He also reveals that the mop head is only taking his fellow alliance members to the fourth or fifth spot, whereafter he'll turn on them.

    It pretty much spilled two of the biggest secrets the houseguests were trying to hide: the secret relationship, and the secret alliance.

    Nothing in my life has entertained me as long as that show has.

    People who hate it don't know much of it and just buy into all the BS about what the show is about.

    I used to listen to Stern daily

    by hongkongcavalier

    ... but "brilliant" and "genius" weren't words I'd use so easily.
    In a word, he was "real" ... like sitting around shooting the shit with a friend "real".
    Then, for about a year or more before he went to Sirius, he went into non-stop "Matyr Mode" and became that old relative who you NEVER ask "How're you feeling?" because you knew the monologue about back pain, hip aches, etc. would start and go on forever.
    In short, Stern became a whiney bitch ... yet, I continued to listen not only for the few bright spots when he wasn't bitching about the FCC or his contract and crossed my fingers that he'd revert back to the old Stern ... the friend you liked hanging out with.
    Never happened.
    "Genius"? I dunno, unless you consider just being yourself as being genius.
    I give him all the credit in the world as someone who worked/works his ass off for his show ... but I just can't get as pissed as some people get when someone else says he's over rated because I can see where they get that from.
    He changed the way people host/run their radio shows (guys like Opie & Anthony should bow down at his feet) and what they say on the air. He lost a lot of jobs and advertisers over the years so he could continue doing what he knew no one else was doing nor had the ball to do. He broke the rules and refused to conform because he KNEW that alone made him one of a kind at that time.
    ... but that's creating a niche, not really creating a revolution; and not, at least as far as Stern is concerned, exactly genius.

    I never really listened to Stern, but watched his E! Show

    by coughlins laws

    He was never on a station near me. I heard all the usual bullshit about him. But then I found what I liked about him wasn't the whores and porn stars he had in there (these interviews have become extremely tedious and boring), but whenever he got celebrities in there, he was really interesting because he got them to talk about things that they wouldn't talk about on any other show. Fast Forward to Sirius. I got a Sirius radio about a year after he got there (not because of him) and started listening to his show full time. At first, I was addicted. I really found it entertaining. But again, it got monotonous and repetitive. It also focused WAYYY to much on that lucky, not very funny loser, Artie Lange. Not to mention, it became pornography. How many times can you have extremely ugly 40 and 50 year olds hovering around teenage porn stars sitting on a masturbation machine? It's really creepy. I would turn it off every time he had any young girl in there. Every conversation is the same and it's creepy to hear a 55 year old ask sex questions to a 20 year old stripper. On top of all that, he lied about what the merger would mean. He said over and over again that a merger for Sirius and XM would be great for subscribers. well, guess what. Since the merger, the price has gone up $2 a month for supposed "licensing" charges, and to get anything on XM, you have to pay $5 more. So, in reality, instead of prices going down from $13 a month, if you wanted everything on Sirius and XM, prices actually went up to $20 a month.And the biggest thing that pisses me off about the asshole is his politics. Not that he's mostly a liberal, it's that he goes on long rants about certain issues, AND THEN he admits he doesn't even pay attention to any of the facts on anything. If it's not on The Bachelorette or American Idol, he makes a fool out of himself, and everyone in the studio just kisses his ass. And the cackling, mentally ill Robin never cites ANY of her news sources, she just keeps saying, "They say...", as if the opinions she's parroting are facts.I do admire Stern for how he's handled his carreer, but his show has evolved into an out-of-touch, rich person's bitch-fest, witch depends on a revolving cast of dozens of uncompensated losers for material. He's now a lazy elitist who takes WAYYYY too much time off and can't even fill up the 12 days a month he's on the air without relying on dozens of others to created content for him. Say what you want about Rush Limbaugh, but he doesn't need to rely 40 other personalities to fill up air time...

    The way you guys are getting all self-righteous about Jersey Shore is kinda amusing. Look....TV is trash. All of it. So this whole "my shitty TV shows are better than your shitty TV shows" thing is really pretentious. It's all crap. All of it. Lost was a soap opera for geeks, then you have your sitcoms, game shows, talk shows, newscasts, melodramas....it's all shit. That said, some of that shit is really entertaining. "Ignorance should not be celebrated." Bullshit. Many comedies celebrate ignorance. Homer Simpson is the epitome of ignorance, and he is celebrated. Think of what's in theaters now in terms of comedy: Dinner for Schmucks. The celebration of ignorance. It's TV, folks. Either throw yours out the window or get off your high horse. Incidentally, I don't watch TV...anything I watch, I watch online.
