Paula Abdul talks Ellen DeGeneres and American Idol 2009

It looks like former “American Idol” judge Paula Abdul, has decided to speak up about her new replacement on the judging panel, Ellen DeGeneres. And according to reports from mirror.co.uk, Paula believes that Ellen will make a great replacement for her.

Paula, who quit the show back in July following a pay dispute, apparently posted on her Twitter yesterday, saying that she feels comedian Ellen DeGeneres will be a great judge. She also said that Ellen is wildly funny and wishes her the best of luck.

The announcement that Ellen was to join the judges’ panel was made earlier this week. The chat show host has said that she is ready to be honest with the contestants on the show. And although she thinks it will be hard, she thinks she can do it.
