According to The New York Times talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, will no longer be a judge on the hit show American Idol and is resigning effective now.

“A couple months ago, I let Fox and the ‘American Idol’ producers know that

America loves Ellen Degeneres but the secret to her mass appeal remains somewhat of a mystery. Sure she’s funny, smart and cute but so are puppies. Ellen’s image is subdued and she doesn’t fit the cookie-cutter image of a “star” yet her following continues to grow in leaps and bounds.
Ellen’s appeal doesn’t come from the outside, it comes from the inside. She’s real and genuine – rare traits in today’s society. She’s not into her image, what you see is what you get with her. Now …

We’ve all heard the rumors that Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres’ personalities didn’t mesh to well when they collided as judges on the hit reality show American Idol.

Ellen DeGeneres graces the cover of O: The Oprah Magazine along side Oprah for its December 2009 issue.
In the issue, among other things, Ellen, 51, talks to Oprah about her wife of just over a year, saying they “are perfect for each other.”
“She is so beautiful and so smart and so funny.” says Ellen. “I have that sense of ‘I’m done now.’ I’m settled. I know that part of my life is taken care of.

Congratulations is in order for talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, and wife, Portia de Rossi.

When I’m looking for information to use either for articles or celebrity birthdays I find a ton of interesting things about celebrities. So much so that I decided to start a ‘Did you know?’ category.
