Like rats fleeing a sinking ship, so are the days of our lives. I have no idea waht I just said, but what I do know is Randy Jackson is leaving American Idol, after this season.

The yo-yo judge broke the news of hid departure on his blog Thursday,

“Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to the rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol I have decided it is time to leave after this season,” he says. “I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry. It’s been a life changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures.”

 
I think Randy Jackson probably owes a debt of gratitude to this show and its producers, I mean, in all reality, he’s a bass player, oh, and Mariah Carey’s EX manager, that news is as of today too!
