I guess that Simon Cowell needed some extra help at the judging table now that Simon is taking over Nigel Lythgote’s duties. It was just announced that American Idol has added a fourth judge to the panel, Kara DioGuardi. I know nothing about Kara, but let’s hope she’s not like most of the songwriter judges that have appeared on Nashville Star that were really afraid to speak their mind.

Here’s the announcement of the fourth judge.

American Idol is adding Grammy-nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi as a fourth judge this season — which means Paula Abdul will no longer be stuck in the peacemaker role between Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson.

“For the past seven seasons, Paula has had to endure the experience of being the only woman at the judges’ table. She’s been (seen) as an island of consideration and gentle criticism between Randy and Simon,” said Mike Darnell, Fox’s president of alternative programming.

“With Kara by her side, Paula finally has some back-up and now there is going to be a lot more ‘girl power’ on the show,” Darnell added.

As if we didn’t have enough of the Kardashian’s on their own reality TV show, today Kim Kardashian is rumored to be on Dancing with the Stars and sister Khloe on Celebrity Apprentice:

KHLOE Kardashian has joined the ranks of “Celebrity Apprentice.” NBC won’t confirm anything, but Kardashian, 23, is a go for the new season, sources say. Khloe stars on E!’s reality show, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” with sisters Kim, Kourtney and Kendall, mom Kris and stepdad Bruce Jenner. Joan and Melissa Rivers are also expected to compete on next season’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Flamboyant ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman, Tony Danza and Petra Nemcova have been floated as possible contestants. “Celebrity Apprentice” begins filming this fall and is scheduled to premiere in January on NBC. “America’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan won the show last season. KHLOE KARDASHIAN has reportedly been enlisted by business tycoon DONALD TRUMP to take part in hit U.S. TV show CELEBRITY APPRENTICE. The 23-year-old has already enjoyed reality TV fame with her hit series Keeping Up with the Kardashians - co-starring sisters Kim and Kourtney.

The show’s new season is set to begin recording in the autumn (08) and is scheduled for a premiere in January (09).

I liked Celebrity Apprentice last year, but the cast members listed above don’t look as entertaining. Except for Dennis Rodman. That guy will be hilarious since he’s so unpredictable.
