Kara DioGuardi's run as a judge on "American Idol" is over, and she's speaking out about the turn of events. "I felt like I won the lottery when I joined 'American Idol' two years ago, but I feel like now is the best time to leave 'Idol,'" DioGuardi says. "I am very proud to have been associated with 'American Idol' – it has truly been an amazing experience," she continues. "I am grateful to FOX, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, as well as the cast, crew and contestants, for all they have given to me. I look forward to my next challenge, and want to thank everyone who has supported me. All the best to everyone on Season 10!"

J.LO Turns To Puerto Rico For Success!
by Perez Hilton on Aug.27, 2010, under Celebrity Gossip
Cuz she ain't gettin' it here!
So, this is what Jennifer Lopez is doing in her spare time when she's not getting rejected to be a judge on AI.
The actress-turned-singer-turned-actress and husband Marc Anthony want to turn the Puerto Rican city, Fajardo, into the "Hollywood of the Caribbean."
The couple, who are both of Puerto Rican descent, want to build a movie studio in the city of Fajardo to attract more A-list movies and televisions to the island.
Their plan is to construct a "state-of-the-art" soundstage so that major American film companies will be motivated to move their productions there.
They've even met with the city's mayor Anibal Melendez who said that the couple had a "lot of enthusiasm" for the proposed project when he met with them recently in Miami.
We all know that most of J.Lo's recent movies have been flops, so is this her way of finding success again?
Hmm, we smell desperation.
