It's songwriter Kara DioGuardi (above).

She's the woman "responsible" for many of Ashlee Simpson's "greatest hits."

They're just getting all their ducks lined up in a row and planning for the end of Paula Abdul, we think.

What do U think????

"We are turning the heat up on 'Idol' this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges' table," said creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. "She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America's most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show."

Adds executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz, "We had originally intended for AMERICAN IDOL to have four judges. We've seen from our international series that having a fourth judge creates a dynamic that benefits both the contestants and the viewers."

As for Paula, Mike Darnell, President, Alternative Programming of FOX, added "For the past seven seasons, Paula has had to endure the experience of being the only woman at the judges' table. She's been as an island of consideration and gentle criticism between Randy and Simon, offering her invaluable expertise as a performer and No. 1 artist to the thousands who have competed on AMERICAN IDOL. With Kara by her side, Paula finally has some back-up and now there is going to be a lot more 'girl power' on the show."

So….

What does Abdul have to say about all of this????

Her Bio gives her a lot more clout. She has written and/or co-written some pretty decent hits.

I think they were wise to do something different this year. I don't know if she is meant to replace Paula eventually or no though, because they said they originally wanted 4 judges. We shall see. I like it when the judges keep their comments brief, so I hope that adding a 4th one to blab will encourage them to keep their comments brief and original.

I think too much time is already spent on the judges, so I hope this doesn't mean even more time focusing on them.
