Four's a Crowd



In season 8, American Idol decided that three judges just wouldn't cut it anymore. So, they brought in a fourth judge in the form of Kara DioGuardi. Paula Abdul must not have been a fan of sharing the limelight, as she commented to the press that the show just doesn't work with four judges. Kara fired back, saying, "Paula has a right to her opinions, but I was disappointed by her comments, and hurt that she did not address them to me in person." What makes it even more awkward is that the two lady judges sit next to each other during the show. Drama!
