Is credibility an issue at the "Idol" judge table?
Paula Abdul is out, Simon Cowell is making his way toward the exit and Ellen DeGeneres makes her debut tonight on "American Idol." Her lack of music industry expertise makes her contribution to the show more fluff and punch lines than anything constructive.
