For most people, being taken out of the roster of the judges of American Idol may mean the end of one’s career, but this is not the case with Paula Abdul. She says that she is receiving a lot of offers and may even consider being a judge in the show “So You Think You Can Dance.”

She is definitely not the best judge there is, and she certainly has had her moments as a judge on American Idol. That does not mean that she is not an integral part of the show, however. And her latest stunt is a big blow to AI, I think. Paula just announced that she will not be coming back for the next season of AI. I don't know how that is going to work out. Can you imagine Kara taking her place? The dynamics are going to be so screwed.

The rumor is that AI might be one judge short next season, and no, it's not Simon Cowell but Paula Abdul. Her manager said that she might not be back. This is quite surprising as Paula recently said that she definitely would be back and the show's producers stated that she was integral to the show as well. Publicity stunt? We'll find out soon enough.

"New" American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi had her own fireworks over 4th of July weekend. She got married to her fiance, Mike McCuddy at the Prospect Harbor United Methodist Church. Were Paula, Simon, Randy, and Ryan among the 30 or wedding guests? I don't know!

A former American Idol auditionee and purported stalker of Paula Abdul was found dead near Abdul’s home apparently from a drug overdose. Stalkers are creepy but the family of the Paula Goodspeed said that she took the ridicule from the judges when she auditioned so hard that she may have snapped.

I’m so proud of Paula Abdul making into the news today without the headline being, ‘Paula Confesses to Blowing Simon for Pills.’
Paula’s got a new man! New guy JT Torregiani is not only packing some cuteness, he’s also a restauranteur. Along with Tara Reid, JT owns & runs the West Hollywood eatery Ketchup. And it looks like Paula is the ketchup of his hot dog.
According to one source, Paula “introduces him to everyone as her boyfriend.”
“It’s really cute how she’s so smitten.”
How sweet! Congrats, Paula!

Â
Come on, Paula. We know what the 80s were like & you certainly were no stranger to partying. Paula Adbul saying that she’s never been drunk or used recreational drugs is a mother saying she’s never had sex (except maybe for the Mary lady).Â
Abdul’s somewhat spacy behavior on “American Idol” has propmted all of us to wonder what the hell kind of good stuff is Paula on?!   But according to the 44-year-old judge, she’s never even touched alcohol or drugs.
“I’ve never been drunk. I have never done recreational drugs.”
“Just look at my 20-year career. Tell me someone who is into partying or doing drugs that could have done that.” Umm, Paula, the damn Rolling Stones come to mind, right? And perhaps Sting, Allman Brothers, Dave Matthews & David Bowie, just to name a few.
“There have been 100 million lies about me,” Abdul reveals. Paula claims that she’s been taking  prescription medication for her “inflammatory arthritis”, which more than likely translates to “inflammatory drinking binge”.
“I’m squeaky clean. I’ve worked my ass off my entire life. (But) being involved in the show causes people to question everything,” Abdul states.
Well, she does push a convincing case, not!
What do you think- Is Paula Abdul a lying junkie or just misunderstood?
