Ellen... Just Ellen! You got to love her!

New Judge on 'American Idol'

Ellen has been announced as the new judge of American Idol. She's the most lovable woman on TV! Here's why:
1. Ellen will have all of Paula's strengths. In other words, she will play the role of the nice, trustworthy friend on the Idol panel. The audience and contestants will all like her, and she will be a good mentor for them (watch Ellen with kids on her talk show; the woman radiates a Paula-like warmth).
2. But she won't have any of Paula's weaknesses. What weaknesses might those be? You know, not showing up to work on time, slurring her words, spinning in her chair, and looking like she's about to fall asleep when the contestants are performing.
3. Ellen might not have any musical experience, but that doesn't really matter. The panel already has Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Kara DioGuardi (although I'm still trying to figure out what Kara's area of expertise is). They need Ellen for something much bigger than that ...
4. American Idol could use a sense of humor. Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell's quips to each other were never really that funny, and they've only grown stale over the years. Ellen is the queen of zingers.
