Paula Abdul said she has no problem with Ellen DeGeneres taking over as an American Idol judge. Of course, Paula is in talks for hosting her own talk show, which would directly compete with Ellen's. Man, it's going to be fun next year to watch Ellen kick Paula's ass at everything.

Paula Abdul has issued her approval for her "American Idol" replacement.

In August, Paula announced via Twitter that she would not be returning for the show's ninth season after spending the previous eight sitting next to Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and, starting last season, Kara DioGuardi, at the judge's table.

"She is wildly funny, talented and I wish her the best of luck!" Paula tweeted about Ellen on Thursday.

"I think Ellen will b a gr8 judge on Idol," Paula also said.

"i don't h8 ellen," Paula then continued to tweet. "I jst wanna stab her in teh face w/ a knife. JK JK LOL ... (not jk)"
