It's Official: Kara DioGuardi leaves American Idol

I'm devastated. FOX has confirmed that Kara DioGuardi will no longer be a judge on American Idol.

From THR:

Fox announced Friday what media reports have speculated for weeks: Kara DioGuardi is leaving "American Idol."

“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 said in a statement. “I am very proud to have been associated with 'American Idol' – it has truly been an amazing experience ... I look forward to my next challenge, and want to thank everyone who has supported me. All the best to everyone on Season 10!”
