This week's addition of Kara DioGuardi in the judging panel of talent TV show "American Idol" have left some speculations, one of which says that the show will change their judge line-up. A source even claims that the show's producer is hiring a new younger female judge to ditch Paula Abdul.
Paula has recently showed her concern over the new judge and says that she is worried about the audience's acceptance. According to Us Magazine, Abdul has told Phoenix's KISS-FM, "I am concerned about the audience and acceptance. Time will tell. We'll see."
Speaking of Kara, Paula continues saying that they are old friends who used to work together and after a long time separation, Paula welcomes her and considers it as a reunion. "[Kara] was my roommate! And I took her all around the world with me and introduced her to wonderful people...She stayed in Sweden and wrote with these people and got started living her dream," Paula explains in the interview.
However, Paula's statement has apparently failed to wash away the cornering gossip. An insider from the Idol show states in this week's edition of the National Enquirer that Paula is actually feeling a bit threatened by Kara. "Paula is trying to put a happy face on this situation, but she feels very threatened that a younger, internationally successful female is joining the cast of judges," the insider says.
Furthermore, Paula has reportedly told a friend that she is going to be booted off the show. "Paula sees Kara's introduction onto the show as the beginning of the end of her 'Idol' career," the insider states. Unfortunately, Paula as well as the Idol's producer and representative haven't given any confirmation yet.

I've waited years for Abdul to be replaced. This is tremendous news. She is being phased out. This is the best news in a long time for Idol. Most of her comments she stole from Randy or Simon. Artists are supposed to be original but she sets a bad example. Wasted space. Free ride is almost over. She may be a decent artist but she's a very weak judge.
"nobody knows this new chick" Google a little bit about Kara DioGuardi and you will see her successful career as a producer and songwriter. She's written many pop songs for famous artists, and they've charted on the billboard. Paula is OK, she shouldn't leave the show. But it's not like she's a real critical judge. AI needed a twist like the introduction of THAT fourth judge.
If Paula leaves maybe she'll put more focus on her music career and be even in better shape than American Idol. I HOPE SO!! CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEW ALBUM!
Paula shouldn't worry about this, nobody knows this new chick, and Paula is the International star of that show.
Paula SHOULD stay. Kara is just a good addition.We love YOU Paula.
