Simon, it's a wrap!
Over at American Idol, it has been quite a topsy-turvy weekend!
For starters, perky Ellen tweeted to her fans that she was departing the highly-rated TV variety show, because - in her own succinct words - Idol wasn't a "good fit" for her.
The perky comic found the weekly dramas a tough row-to-hoe.
"I didn't like hurting people's feelings."
The next bit of juicy gossip was a lot more explosive, and streaked like lightning around the Internet in about two seconds flat, when it was uttered up from inside sources at Fox.
The gossip tweetin' this way 'n that?
Kara DioGuardi was fired!
Heh, what the heck was going on over there at Fox, anyway?
Seacrest remained silent on the sidelines.
Smart cookie!
Of course, Simon's impending departure as head honcho on the panel, was old news.
Cowell has been developing a new show - Fear Factor - and announced many moons ago that he was bowing out of Idol to pursue his spanking-new endeavour.
All the tabloid news shows started to have a field day, as the rumors and innuendos persisted.
From one quarter, one high-profile gossip was not only quite adamant that Jennifer Lopez was approached, but inclined to swear up-and-down that it was a done deal for the Latino Lovely.
But, Steven Tyler?
For a moment or two, critics scratched their heads, while fans were sent for a loop!
"That wild man, a Judge on American Idol, do 'ya think?"
I was inclined to pen my own thoughts on Tyler as a potential panelist on the still-popular night-time musical extravaganza.

On the heels of that post, Tyler let the delicious news slip out after a concert in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
When queried about what exciting prospects were on the horizon, point-blank, he blurted out:
"I'm recording an album and I’m probably going to be a Judge on ‘American Idol.'”
He later added: “I’m doing it. What do you think? I’m doing it.”
Despite his claims, American Idol bosses are yet to confirm the rocker’s appointment.
Lopez has reportedly been in talks with the show's boss Simon Fuller for a few weeks.
But, no confirmation from her handlers, yet.
News at 11!
