Ellen DeGeneres left ‘Idol’ after just one season, announcing her departure weeks ago. Shortly after the report, news arrived that Kara DioGuardi had been fired — and that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler looked like the replacements. While J.Lo has since reportedly been nixed, Tyler is now all but confirmed.
