Here come the judge

I have really missed watching new episodes of the "Ellen Degeneres Show" over the summer. So, I was very excited to see the premiere of her seventh season on Tuesday.



Besides having David Beckham on to discuss underwear, she also boogied with the top ten dancers from "So You Think You Can Dance".

And she didn't just do her usual audience shuffle....she brought it!



White girl can dance!

So, besides having my daily dose of her humor and positive vibe back on schedule, it was also announced today that Ellen would be replacing Paula Abdul as a judge on the new season of "American Idol", starting in January.

I'll let her tell you all about it (run your mouse over the image to get the "play" arrow)...



Now, after years of avoiding the Idol madness, I may actually have to start watching the show again to see how she does.

Devil!
