Inside sources at CKX, Inc., parent company of 19 entertainment, have disclosed to realitybitesback.com that American Idol is on the verge of signing not one, but TWO new judges to replace Simon when he departs at the end of this season. The pair of judges are reported to be Russell Brand and Katy Perry!! Katy has been vocal in campaigning for the position, and sources who requested anonymity said that she would "..fill the Paula role, to Brand's Simon". Being an (allegedly) talented musician herself, Katy would add more credibility, as well as 'Q' ratings to the judges panel. Brand is the holdout, according to sources, because he is not sure he is willing to make the compromises being on family television would inevitably require.
What this means for Kara and Ellen is anyone's guess, but our sources say that there would be no heartache over Kara leaving, and while her knowledge and 'insider' position is solid, she has yet to connect to fans, and many were distressed at the finale song she penned for the last season winner.

The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect defines emotional abuse as: "acts or omissions by the parents or other caregivers that have caused, or could cause, serious behavioral, cognitive, emotional, or mental disorders. In some cases of emotional abuse, the acts of parents or other caregivers alone, without any harm evident in the child's behavior or condition, are sufficient to warrant child protective services (CPS) intervention. For example, the parents/caregivers may use extreme or bizarre forms of punishment, such as confinement of a child in a dark closet. Less severe acts, such as habitual scapegoating, belittling, or rejecting treatment, are often difficult to prove and, therefore, CPS may not be able to intervene without evidence of harm to the child."23
The American Medical Association AMA describes Emotional Abuse as: "when a child is regularly threatened, yelled at, humiliated, ignored, blamed or otherwise emotionally mistreated. For example, making fun of a child, calling a child names, and always finding fault are forms of emotional abuse.
