On the heels of her first night on “American Idol,” Ellen DeGeneres has signed on for three more years as the host of  ”Ellen.”

DeGeneres said, “I’m so excited to sign on for three more years at NBC. They were the ones that believed in my show from day one. So, I’m thrilled to know I’ll be here ’til at least 2014. Things will be a lot different by then. I won’t be dancing over my coffee table anymore. Through the magic of 3-D, I’ll be dancing over YOURS!”Last night marked the biggest change in nine years for the country’s biggest television show.”

Last night, DeGeneres made her debut on the American Idol judging panel, joining Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson. DeGeneres took over for the departed Paula Abdul.

Cowell himself will be leaving at the end of this season, prompting quite a bit of speculation about what the panel will look like moving forward.

But the story last night was the DeGeneres Debut. The new judge went for humor at some moments, brutal honesty at others. She also noted that while her professional background is not in music, she does understand what it takes to entertain a large room.

    Talk about bad reporting. Ellen didn’t sign up for three more seasons. She was renewed for three more seasons by her bosses at Warner Brothers and NBC Universal. I love Ellen but continuing her talk show for three more seasons was not entirely up to her like you seem to indicate. Just go to Deadline Hollywood and the Hollywood reporter for the correct reporting.

  • Sorry your blog is failing that you need to spend so much time on Gossip Cop, but what part of Ellen’s quote, “I’m so excited to sign on for three more years at NBC” means she didn’t “sign on.” Not bad reporting. Bad reading on your part.

    “Bad reading”! That was classic GC! Hilarious. This is why we love you! Dawn, that was just classic stupidity on your part. Epic fail! LOL.

    Gotta agree with Michael Lewittes here. I just went and read Deadline Hollywood and Hollywood reporter and they said the same thing with the exact same quote from Ellen. Sam said it well too. Classic stupidity and Epic fail. LOL

  • Sam says:

    OMG! Still laughing. SO funny.

    Keep up the good work, GC! And Dawn, wow… there’s just nothing to say.

  • fulloflaughs says:

    Why are you here, Dawn? Here’s an idea…if the reporting is so terrible and you’re going to point that out in every third or so story, stop coming to GC.

    “Just go to Deadline Hollywood and the Hollywood reporter for the correct reporting.”… huh? Seriously? You gotta be kidding me! LMAO! For real, you can’t be serious… XD

    I’m with Michael too… You, Dawn Marie, need some serious reading lessons… XD… Talk yourself about bad reading…

    Thank you so much for the ACCURATE reporting Gossip Cop… :D… It’s always pleasant coming here and be certain that what we read is actual reporting and not just stuff made up in a hurry… that you actually take the time to do this… :)
