Ellen Discusses First Day of Idol on her Show

I have to say that I think the Ellen Show is going to really help Idol. It’s a big platform for the kind of audience they want to pimp the show and contestants each and every day. I think this might have been a brilliant move, especially if she’s any good as a judge!

In other news, Hollywood week will be moved back this year to start January 9th, meaning there won’t be the leaks that usually start coming out in November. Kind of a bummer, but such is life. Ellen’s schedule is believed to be one of the main reasons and this moveback will allow her to be part of Hollywood week.
