Fourth American Idol Judge
American Idol is welcoming a fourth judge in the form of Kara DioGuardi. The 37-year old will sit alongside Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson and will use her background as a songwriter/producer in the upcoming eighth season of the show which will premiere on January 2009. The show’s executive producer Simon Fuller says “We are turning the heat up on ‘Idol’ this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges’ table. She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America’s most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show.” I bet they’re doing this to get the ratings up from last season. The producers must be hoping for some catty fights between the women like how it goes on X-Factor.
