Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell better shove a cheek.
Grammy-nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi is joining American Idol as a fourth judge when the eighth season premieres in January 2009.
Says Fox reality honcho Mike Darnell in the release: “For the past seven seasons, Paula has had to endure the experience of being the only woman at the judges’ table. … 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.â€
Looks like A.I. is willing to try another to make the show interesting and new following last year’s lackluster season. Will it work? We doubt it.

I really like the show. Especially the first couple of episodes each season are really hillarious.
The show has lost some of its popularity for sure but it is still good fun and I like it too!
American Idol has had a great run but I think it will be difficult to reinvent itself and fans are definitely not as interested anymore.
It was fun the first year.
After my friend and local DJ here, spilled the beans on the “real show” I have no desire to see this fake show ever again.
Wonder how they will arrive at a majority with four judges???
Best show on FOX.
