And so it begins!

Ellen DeGeneres replaced poor Paula Abdul as the fourth judge on this season's American Idol - and she's just in time for the Hollywood round of auditions!

But while tonight's episode was taped last month, the real challenge will come in the next few weeks when Ellen will have to prove herself live. Question is, will she be too nice? And will she and Simon clash? They already have some alleged "friction."

Ellen politely acknowledges Simon being "mean," but that's why we watch the show! Because he actually knows what he's talking about. Ellen has admitted: "I hate hurting people's feelings, so that, I think, is the hardest part."

Meanwhile, Simon Cowell is abandoning Idol next year for The X Factor... the most recent names in the running to replace him? Guy Oseary and even Howard Stern! Personally, I'd go with Guy.

But what if Paula joins Simon on The X Factor? Could American Idol become obsolete?

Better start watching tonight if you haven't already - this could be the show's last good year! Check out the latest teaser below:

Suh-weet! This is a perfect location for Snooki and the gang.

Despite having to deal with its stars wanting bigger paychecks, MTV has not only gathered the whole group again for a second season, it has also picked a new location: South Beach!

The Situation and co. will head to Miami in May, Movieline confirms. They'll stay in a house off Lincoln Road in SoBe that MTV is currently renovating for the cast...

But will Miami be ready to handle more paps and fans this summer? So excited for the second season! GTL forever!

Just look at this outfit! Supermom Jennifer Garner never wears something this... flirtatious. We love it!

Ben Affleck's wife was spotted running errands in Bev Hills yesterday - before picking up V from school - and while I'm not obsessed with the top half of her outfit, the skirt, tights and boots are hot hot hot!

They're only in their twenties, but Kevin Jonas and wife Danielle Deleasa already have the old married couple thing down pat. We snapped the duo grocery shopping and satisfying their Pinkberry cravings yesterday, and they seem just about as normal as it gets...

P.S. Is it just me, or does Danielle look like she could be Ashley Tisdale's long lost cousin?

Whoops! Hey, half of the men out there will go bald, so who cares? Right? Who needs hair!

Not yet, of course... but that's the plan!

The 31-year-old former backup dancer will appear on this season of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club in the hopes of losing all those extra pounds - Brit's ex clocked in at a whopping 232 lbs!

K-Fed even joked that he "looks like a pregnant man." Hey, he said it, we didn't!

Yes, everyone in Hollywood smokes. Seriously... everyone! (Even Taylor Momsen!) So don't pretend they don't. That being said, seeing that stream of smoke blow out of their mouths is not hot.

Maybe sometimes. But now in this case - sorry, Cam!

Yes, the Fat Actress actress has a new reality show - deal with it! The name? Kirstie Alley's Big Life... and I'm guessing the pun is intended.

Watch the outrageously loud and obnoxious trailer above. Oddly enough, all I could focus on was the woman's hair. There's so much of it and it's always in her face!
