TMZ is reporting that everyone's least favorite judge, Kara DioGuardi, has been given her pink slip. She's done. While we loved having Kara on the panel because she was so easy to mock, she was completely unlikeable and deserved to get the boot years ago. TMZ says that the show will return to a 3 judge panel consisting of Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, and Jennifer Lopez. Why bother keeping Randy, he offers nothing to the show. This panel is made up of OK choices, but we'd prefer a train wreck judge. Hopefully Steven Tyler can deliver.

PopEater has pictures from Kara DioGuardi's naked photo shoot with Allure magazine. As if anyone wants to see that after she tore off her clothes last season. We're not going to post this above the fold, because we don't want anyone to lose their breakfast. But click on Read More if you dare to see Kara's body contorted in a weird position to try to hide how nasty she looks. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Kara DioGuardi performed in Atlantic City this past weekend to try to get her nowhere singing career to go somewhere. She tried to capitalize on her terrible song "Terrified" by singing it to the crowd. What do you think? (via MJ's Big Blog)

In what should be painfully obvious, Patti LaBelle has taste. Patti isn't happy with the caliber of judges on American Idol, saying, "some of the judges, I don't think they're qualified to even judge." You mean an obscure bass player from Journey, the guy who produced the Teletubbies and Power Rangers albums, the person who wrote songs for Paris Hilton and Ashlee Simpson, and a random comedienne with no musical experience aren't qualified to judge a musical competition? Get out! LaBelle says she was approached to judge Idol before Paula abdul, but she turned it down. Being that the show's judges have become such jokes, we think she made the right choice.
