"&lt;strong&gt;Ellen DeGeneres&lt;/strong&gt; has a dog in the whole &lt;strong&gt;Simon Cowell&lt;/strong&gt; fight -- after all, she signed on just months before Simon's big announcement that he's leaving \"&lt;strong&gt;American Idol&lt;/strong&gt;.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ellen just taped her show today, and cleverly explained a possible link between Simon, Conan and Jay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we previously reported, Simon's voting himself off the show so he can work on \"&lt;strong&gt;The&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;X Factor&lt;/strong&gt;.\"&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;See Also&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/11/simon-cowell-im-leaving-american-idol/\"&gt;Simon Cowell: I'm Leaving 'American Idol'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
