 Fallen Idol: Ellen DeGeneres is leaving American Idol. Fox may announce Simon Cowell's replacement on Monday at the network’s Television Critics Association summer press tour presentation.

Ellen Tweeted: "A couple months ago, I let FOX and the 'American Idol' producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me. I told them I wouldn't leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on "Idol" and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be. Dim the lights...I've voted myself off American Idol."

Here's previews for 2 movies out in theatres starting today!
