Ellen DeGeneres Quits 'American Idol'!

Ellen DeGeneres

After just one season, Ellen DeGeneres is leaving 'American Idol'. The reason? It wasn't the "right fit".

"Dim the lights ... I've voted myself off American Idol", she wrote on her Twitter page. Could it be because "it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings"? Or was Simon Cowell?
It looks like she decided to leave "a couple of months ago".
"I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be", she added.
Ellen DeGeneres became an 'American Idol' judge last year, after Paula Abdul left the show.
