How Do 10 Seasons Of ‘American Idol’ Judges Rank On Our Kara Meter?
Thu May 26 2011 by Robbie Daw
Not only is American Idol over for the year (congrats, Scotty McCreery), we've also hit upon an AI milestone: the end of the first ten seasons of the reality singing competition. It's been quite a long haul since Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul first sat down together in front of TV cameras. And over the course of the show's history, more than half-a-dozen faces have come and gone at the judges' table.
Much like when we singled out the "Sanjaya" of each season of Idol and ranked them accordingly, we wanted to honor these noble entertainers who've attempted to steer America's singing youth down the right path by ranking them on our special scale of "Karas" (named, of course, after divisive former judge Kara DioGuardi). We'll let you decide whether a high score of Karas is a, uh, good or bad thing. (Note: it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.) More »

Kara DioGuardi Gets A New Job Pretty Much Doing The Same Thing As Before
Tue Oct 26 2010 by Becky Bain
After getting fired (or voluntarily leaving, depending on what Rashomon-like point of view you're looking from) from American Idol, the unemployed former reality singing competition show judge Kara DioGuardi has finally nabbed herself a new gig — as a reality singing competition show judge. Kara will judge the new Bravo show Going Platinum, which sounds like it has something to do with cosmetology but is actually a competition for singer-songwriters. Singer-songwriter-karaoke enthusiast Jewel will host, though we're not sure why she doesn't judge as well since she did so well on the panel of Nashville Star. [Vulture]
Kara Dioguardi Exits — Is ‘American Idol’ Lost?
Sat Sep 4 2010 by Idolator Staff
At this point, it's hardly a shock, but singer-songwriter/showoff Kara Dioguardi has parted ways with American Idol after two seasons at the judges' table, ensuring that the show's upcoming tenth season will really break with the past. Though Kara's exit has been sort of assumed since reports surfaced that she'd been shown the door, it didn't become official til Friday evening, when Fox quietly released a statement confirming her departure. Where in the holy heck does Idol go from here? See if Fox's statement below offers any clues. More »
The Morning Mix: Kara DioGuardi Wants To Break Up With ‘Idol’ First
Tue Aug 24 2010 by Becky Bain
Did You Hear?
:: Kara DioGuardi reportedly asked to leave American Idol more than two months ago. So we suppose she won't be terribly upset if either Steven Tyler, Shania Twain or Mariah Carey takes her place at the judges' table. [E! Online]
:: Kelly Clarkson sure likes her karaoke—she was spotted belting out some tunes at Hoots Bar in Texas. Might we suggest she pull a Jewel and perform her own hits in disguise? [Just Jared]
:: Ryan Murphy says that Britney Spears will "probably" make another appearance on Glee following her cameo during the second episode of Season 2. Can she just be cast as Brittany's mom? We know the age difference doesn't make any sense, but we're willing to suspend our disbelief. [Billboard]
:: Check out three movie scenes that rise to genius once Cee-Lo's NSFW ditty "Fuck You" gets added to the film's soundtrack. You'll never look at John Cusack holding the stereo above his head in Say Anything the same way again. [Dallas Observer]
:: Eminem is set to perform at this year's VMAs. Justin Bieber collaboration on "Love The Way You Lie", pretty please. [Buzzworthy]
