According to sources, the powers that be behind the US version of the megahit, X Factor, have decided to part ways with judge Paula Abdul.

Straight up?  I guess they didn’t really wanna love her forever – oh, oh, oh.

This makes Abdul the fourth (count ‘em), fourth judge that the show has axed this season!  First Cheryl Cole, then Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones - who’s next, King Simon Cowell himself?

No word yet on exactly why the producers have decided to clean house, but unless they’re bringing in a team of trained seals who can simultaneously tell jokes, balance red balls on their noses and judge vocal talent, I’m not sure what exactly they think us viewers are looking for.

If they bring in a panel made up of Kardashians I swear to God…
