Simon Cowell Says Kara DioGuardi Isn't Going Anywhere

by Celebuzz on May. 5, 2009 11:45 AM / 13 Comments

She was out last week, but Simon Cowell says she's back in.

Only a few days ago, Kara DioGuardi shared the news that she was almost 100% sure that this would be her first and only season as the fourth judge on American Idol. However, Simon appeared on an episode of the The Ellen DeGeneres Show that airs today, and told the audience that, Kara will definitely be back.

Not that he's entirely happy about it. Cowell went on to express his distaste for having four judges.

"There’s less time for us to talk. One week literally we couldn’t talk, so 10 minutes before the show started they said, 'Oh by the way you can’t talk for half the show,'" Cowell said. "It’s rather like saying in a singing competition to the singers, half of you can’t sing. It was just crazy."

Oh, that Simon; always one to accentuate the negative.

We want to know your opinions: Do you like hearing the opinions of four judges, or do you wish they'd just stick to Simon, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson? Have your say in the comments section!

Get rid of her - she sucks - stick to the original three be it good, bad or indifferent.
Paula is a doll, Simon is hot no matter what comes out of his mouth and lets face it - we all love to hear what he has to say whether we agree or not. Randy is a dork, but he's part of the pack!

I personally like Kara. However, it may return to being three judges. I have heard rumors that Simon may not be coming back as his schedule in London is getting so hectic, and the traveling is becoming hard on him. They're just rumors, mind, nothing concrete.

Get rid of paula she doesn't add anything to the show. Half of the time she doesn't make any sense.
