Ellen DeGeneres will not return to the judging panel on American Idol for the show’s upcoming season.

Here’s what the 52-year-old entertainer had to say in a statement:

"A couple months ago, I let FOX and the American Idol producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me. I told them I wouldn't leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for."

"I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on Idol and I am very grateful for the year I had, I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be."

Idol is said to be undergoing a major shakeup after Simon Cowell’s departure. Justin Timberlake, Jessica Simpson and Elton John have all been rumored to be a part of the show’s tenth season.

Julia Roberts finds her own inner peace on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s newest issue, on newsstands Friday (July 30)!

Here’s what the 42-year-old actress had to share:

On whether she used a spit bucket for all of the food scenes: “Well, first of all, that grosses me out. But the truth of the matter is, there probably would have come a point when I would have used it. If you look at any of the scenes of eating, by the end of the scene, I'm done eating. Like in the scene with the pizza, by the time the scene is over, I've eaten the entire piece. When we were in Naples, we started shooting at 8 in the morning, and I think by 8:45 I'd eaten 8 or 10 pieces of pizza. Pizza was what I ate all day.”

On her kids’ favorite location to film: “Well, my kids could really make a party in a cardboard box. It's not hard to please people under four feet tall. They have a great spirit of adventure. EPL was for us the WPT: We called it the World Pool Tour. Everywhere we went, it was so hot, we were just looking for a swimming pool. The fact that they never got sunburned and no one's hair ever turned green was pretty much my maternal triumph of the summer.”

On whether she obsesses over her appearance: “I'm human. Sometimes I, like anybody, wake up in the morning and go, ‘F—. Really? This is the starting point?’ Haven't you ever picked up a picture of yourself from, like, five years ago, and you look at yourself and you just go, ‘And I had no appreciation for how lovely I looked, how fit and healthy I looked.’ So now I say, ‘Now listen. Ten years from now, you're really going to think you should have appreciated yourself more.’ And I'm raising a daughter, and I really want to empower her by example.”
