Kara DioGuardi exits ‘American Idol’ as judge

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kara DioGuardi is following Ellen DeGeneres and Simon Cowell out the door at “American Idol.”

Fox said Friday that DioGuardi made the decision to leave the hit singing contest, which she judged with DeGeneres, Cowell and Randy Jackson - who’s now the only one left on the panel.

A new lineup of judges has yet to be announced, with Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez the reported front-runners. The show returns to the air in January.
