LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – The stunning choice of comedian and chat show host Ellen DeGeneres as the new judge on TV show "American Idol" appeared set to revive interest in the top-rated talent show after three years of falling ratings.

<**>

Some fans said DeGeneres, a lesbian who married her actress partner Portia De Rossi last year, was a turn-off.

"This is one of those shows that brought families together every year. You just lost our family of 7. We don't agree with her lifestyle so our family will be no part of American Idol!!" wrote mnapeterson22 on the Americanidol.com web site.

2. adam might well have won had she been a judge this year

given the effect she is apparently having.

3. Doesn't "agree with her lifestyle." Yikes. Where to begin.

Too many layers of stupid there.

On the plus side... maybe EDG's inclusion is pretty significant after all.

4. Good!

Now they'll have time to pay attention to Health Care and Gay Rights issues. Right :eyes:

6. Well we'll have to have Ryan Seacrest send them a note n/t

7. "We don't agree with her lifestyle" - fundies are stupid fucking idiots.

Why do these fundie types obsess themselves so much with sex? So they think that homosexuality is a sin - so fucking what. I don't see any of them working themselves up in a frenzy over Simon Cowell's greed, commanding millions upon millions.

8. They don't agree with her "lifestyle"

Well, I don't agree with your fundie lifestyle. Seems we are at an impasse, so fuck off.

Ellen will kick ass, that's for sure. :bounce:
