Kara Dioguardi is full of shit surprises!

According to a source, Kara has been trying to leave American Idol for some time now.

"She went to Fox two months ago and told them she didn't want to do another season. She's ready to move on. She did two years and thinks that's enough."

PUHLEASE!! The source goes on to spew more bullshit talk about Kara’s “contractual obligations” to Fox, which apparently prevent her from taking meetings with other companies.

"It's frustrating because she can't even take any meetings…everyone wants to know what her schedule will be like, but she doesn't know. What happens if Fox tells her they still want her for next season?"

Um, we don’t buy this for a second. This is Kara planting stories and trying to cover up her embarrassing exit from Idol.

Stop trying to spin this, Kara! You lost this battle!

We don't blame 'em!

According to a survey, ad buyers were asked various questions about the upcoming season of American Idol, including who their favorite judge is and how many seasons they think the singing competition has.

Most of the participants said that Simon Cowell was their favorite judge and that they believe this next season should be their last.

Ouch!

Many of them even agreed with Fox's decision to get rid of judges Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi.

As predicted, ad buyers believe that AI's ratings will most likely fall dramatically now that Simon is out and producers are scrambling to find the right mix on the judges panel.

Here's an easy answer: PICK PEREZ!!
