Fox announced Wednesday DeGeneres would be Paula Abdul's permanent replacement on the show, joining Jackson, Simon Cowell and Kara DioGuardi on the panel that sits in judgment of would-be singing stars.
Abdul and the show's producers reportedly couldn't agree on the terms of a new contract.
"Yo baby! You know we got love," Jackson told TV's "Extra," adding he is "so happy" about DeGeneres joining the "Idol" cast.
"It's going go be fun. We're gonna rock the house every night!" he said. "Ellen's gonna be rockin', man."
The new season of the singing competition series begins in January.

Ellen would be a great
Ellen would be a great replacement for PA...the labels suing her is just another sign of the times...its so tough for labels to make money that they are suing everyone who uses music without paperwork...
I know Ellen is personable
I know Ellen is personable and funny but AI will not be the same without Paula.
