LOS ANGELES (TMZ) - In today's TMZ Update, sources connected with the " American Idol " negotiations tell TMZ that Kara DioGuardi has judged her last contestant on "American Idol" -- because she's been fired.
The show will be going back to a three-judge format and assuming all deals are finalized, the judge's panel will consist of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.
TMZ has been told the only way Kara could get a reprieve is if the J-Lo deal falls apart -- but apparently that deal is done.
Ellen DeGeneres announced earlier Thursday that she was leaving the show after just one season.
