The Return of American Idol

I just wanted to remind all of you entertainment fans that tonight is the 2 hour season premiere of American Idol! Tune it to Fox at 8pm to watch the first episode of the 9th season of this show.

As you may or may not know, Paula will not be there for this season. Filling her spot tonight will be guest judge, Victoria Beckham (who will always be known to me as Posh Spice). Everyone else will be returning as usual, with the edition of Ellen DeGeneres. Simon (the most amusingly straight forward judge ever, especially during these first few shows with all the goofy people) and Fox's President of Entertainment have also made the announcement that Simon will not be returning next year. Simon & Paula, will however, have a new singing show, X-Factor, which Simon has already established in the UK. You can check out Entertainment Weekly for more detailed info on the future of both shows.

So, are you a fan of American Idol? How do you think the changes to the show will work? Will it have the same audience as in past years? Let me know your thoughts!
