BREAKING NEWS: Ellen DeGeneres Announces She Is Leaving 'American Idol'

[Jazzy]

After only one year behind the judges' table on American Idol, Ellen DeGeneres is leaving the show.



A couple months ago, I let FOX and the 'American Idol' producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me, Ellen said in a statement issued to Access Hollywood on Thursday. 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.

Wonder if there is more to it then what they are saying.

Ellen is a caring woman and doesn't like to tell people they're not good enough to move on. Fair enough if she feels she doesn't want to continue on American Idol.

This. You need someone like Simon Cowell on the panel.

I give her a lot of respect and credit to step down. She's a caring person and proved that she's not in it just for the money. Good luck Ellen
