paulaellentwitter.jpg After the news broke that Ellen DeGeneres would officially replace Paula Abdul on American Idol, we all wondered how the former Idol judge would take it. Would she flip out in front of photogs? Stay in her house all day and stuff her face with Oreos and cry herself to sleep?

Despite pretending to be busy for the past few days (and posting tweets like, "going into the gym. I am in need of a good work out" and "Heading to the big apple today. Rehearsal, Rehearsal, Rehearsal! Divas is readily approaching") Paula FINALLY tweeted her congrats to Ellen with the following message:

    "I think Ellen will b a gr8 judge on Idol. She is wildly funny, talented and I wish her the best of luck!"


Now what took her so long?! Maybe her manager kept her away from TVs and computers for the past few days and broke the news to her gently?
