Another 'Idol' Player Jumps Ship for Jay

Another 'Idol' Player Jumps Ship for Jay

Simon Cowell wasn't the only one who bid sayonara to "American Idol" last night.

Dorian Holley -- the Vocal Coach and Associate Musical Director -- said farewell last night as well, and he's heading for "The Tonight Show."

Holley was also the Vocal Director for Michael Jackson and was a key player in the London tour that never happened. He was with Jackson hours before he died.

Holley will become the lead singer in "The Tonight Show" band. And he's not the only "A.I." musical guru who's jumping ship -- Rickey Minor will take over Jay's band.

Need a job? There are openings at "Idol."

American Idol is dead without Simon so I don't blame anyone for going elsewhere. Douche or not since Jay has been back the Tonight Show has reclaimed the #1 spot so it sounds like a good place to go.

More importantly, he is married to Lindsay Lohan's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley. I'm surprised there was no mention of this!
