She may not sing much, but Ellen is doing her little dance on over to the judges' table on Fox's American Idol.
Stand-up comic, talk-show host and rabid Idol fan Ellen DeGeneres will be the fourth judge on the new season starting in January, Fox announced Wednesday and DeGeneres revealed to her audience during the taping of a show to air today. DeGeneres takes the seat vacated by Paula Abdul, who left the show in a salary dispute last month.
