American Idol newbie Ellen DeGeneres (who has a name containing more Es than Lil Wayne?s tour bus) and head honcho Simon Cowell have reportedly fallen out behind the scenes of the talent show.
Apparently the frostiness between the pair began after Cowell pitched up an hour and a half late for the first day of Ellen?s tenure as a judge on the show. Problems have worsened recently because – and get this – Ellen thinks that Simon Cowell is quite rude to some of the contestants at times. He's kept that quiet hasn't he? How has no one noticed before?
Presumably Elleeeene Deegeneresee has also been surprised at how high-waisted his trousers are, how flat his hair is and how, if you drop something, that object will fall to the ground.
She has been quoted as saying that she believes he has cranked up the insults since her arrival because he knows that she doesn't like it and he “actually enjoys pissing her off”.
The pair were originally seated next to each other but have since been separated. And if something like that happens, THEY MUST HATE EACH OTHER, RIGHT?
Let's not have it be said that hecklerspray is a cynical entertainment website, but with this year?s calibre of contestant being less than impressive, it is quite handy for producers to have a hook, isn't it?
Not content with an apparent feud with a current judge, Ellen is also involved in a row with a potential future judge. Shock Jock (you have to precede his name with those two words) Howard Stern‘s name has been mooted as a replacement for Cowell, much to the chagrin of the E-hoarding DeGeneres. Although you can see why after he said on his radio show, “I wouldn’t work with that fucking dummy on that karaoke show”.
These little stories must be made up, I mean – if you worked on American Idol, it’s Randy Jackson that you’d hate isn’t it, Dawg?

She’s probably annoyed because everyone with a job now sees just how unfunny she really is.
