Ellen Degeneres says Some American Idol Contestants Were Not Grateful

Talk show host and Ex-Idol judge, Ellen Degeneres will grace the cover of this week’s Parade Magazine. Check out what she has to say about her one year stint on American Idol:

DeGeneres found the behind-the-scenes nastiness of American Idol off-putting: Ellen “It was disappointing to hear things about the kids, the drama going on. Some of them are not as grateful as you would expect. All of a sudden they have fan mail, millions of people saying they’re great, and some of them just stop appreciating it.”

Ellen judged only 1 year–the ill-fated Season 9.  I wonder who she’s referring to? Speculation anyone?
