Paula Abdul: booted off AI?
 

I was just walking in the hallway at work and saw on CNN they were talking to Paula Abdul and although they don't have the sound on, the caption read: "Famous American Idol judge gets the boot".

I can't find anything on the net about this though. Anyone hear anything on this?

CNN had a big article this morning on the rocker getting kicked off Idol, and Paula crying on TV over it. There are also hints that ABC PrimeTime Live has some big expose coming on the show.

From what I heard yesterday on Sports Talk 980 (of all places), ABC Primetime is going to do a special on a book that's to be released by one of the contestants from a year or so ago (I don't know, personally I don't understand how anybody can watch that drek, so it's all just hearsay to me). Apparently the author of the book has written that Paula promised him he'd "get far" in the show by um...satisfying her needs.

Frankly, who cares, it, along with all the other reality shows, are the worst crap I've ever seen (heard, since it's another piece of shit my roommate watches) and Abdul has ALWAYS been a no-talent hack.

So yeah. If those stories are true, she'll probably get the boot.

/tk

This is all probably part of the show. Scripted reality.

Shes a cold hearted snake. Giddyup.

I just wish that she would have remained in seclusion so I would have remembered her circa 1980s as opposed to now.

I'd hit it.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Paula Abdul is taking pre-emptive measures to squash a controversy sparked by an upcoming ABC special on "American Idol."

Though the exact nature of the "Primetime Live" special, "Fallen Idol," remains unknown, ABC has said it will "explore explosive claims about behind-the-scenes activities" at the Fox talent contest.

Reports have speculated that it will hinge on Corey Clark, a contestant who was dropped from the show in 2003 after producers learned about a past arrest. He is reportedly trying to sell a tell-all book about his experiences with the program, including an alleged affair with Abdul, one of the three judges on the show.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for Abdul released a statement to syndicated entertainment show "Access Hollywood":

"Paula Abdul will not dignify the false statements made by Corey Clark with a response. Mr. Clark is an admitted liar and opportunist who engages in unlawful activities. He is communicating lies about Paula Abdul in order to generate interest in a book deal."

Further, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Abdul's lawyer, Marty Singer, has sent a letter to ABC threatening legal action if the network airs the special.

Simon Cowell, the show's more critical judge, defended Abdul on the syndicated entertainment show "Extra" Tuesday.

"Paula, to be fair to her, will spend more time backstage with the contestants giving encouragement. But that's not a bad thing," Cowell said. "I think (the accusations) are rubbish. I think this is a guy who's out there to publish a book."

The third judge, Randy Jackson, and host Ryan Seacrest also appeared on programs Tuesday to defend Abdul and "American Idol."

Efforts by The Associated Press to reach Clark have been unsuccessful.

Clark was booted from the show for not disclosing that he was facing assault charges for allegedly assaulting his teenage sister and resisting arrest. He later pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of obstructing the legal process.

The hourlong "Primetime Live" report by anchor John Quinones is scheduled May 4 (10 p.m. ET).

No mention was made of the ABC special on Tuesday night's episode.

One of the remaining six contestants was to be eliminated Wednesday night.

Nia Peeples (when she was on Walker, Texas Ranger) is so much hotter

ABC is kind of stupid. They are doing FOX a favor by turning this into a circus.

I could never understand why Paula has such a hard time getting a man. Must be bad in bed. :)


Todd

Am I the only one who sees her as having a crater between her legs?

I call sloppy seconds.

Didn't she get Emilio Estevez?

Call it what you will. One man's seconds is another one's main course.

that's like ordering a tuna sandwhich with extra mayo.

Or you could just have one big bukkake party with paula.

She's bukkaked before.

NICE :D

Just an observation.
But why wouldn't you phrase it "Didn't Emilio Estevez get her?"
It sounds as if you consider him a prize?


Edit: And I caught the end of the show last night, and it was so damn awkward the way she was breaking down, i mean come on hunny, get a grip.

He was in the brat pack dammit.

anybody seen any news on the web sites about paula getting fire from American Idol yet?

Given the circumstances surrounding her rumored departure, wouldn't the proper term be she got "bootied" off?

And in Maximum Overdrive!

I hope they have Debbie Gibson take her place....

or Tiffany

crater or not.. me likie


Todd

Oh by no means does it mean I wouldn't bungie jump down it.

Besides, even if she does have a "crater," surely the ladies man doesn't have to point you in an alternate direction?

what in the hell happened here?!

No doubt. Everyone loves a good mudslide.

Not Bennifer.

Rumors is she "Rush Rush" Corey Clark, a contestant. and it could be "Straight Up". but she "Forever my Girl" :) Even though some say she a "Cold Hearted Snake"

Paula "My Foolish Heart" "Will you Marry Me" :)

No references to MC Scat Cat?

No, he moved on to Jessica from Roger Rabbit.

Was it before or after St Elmos Fire?

Had to have been after. That was his signature piece.

He was A-List at the time. Pretty good catch. Plus his dad is the fake President of the United States.

It was either him or Anthony Michael Hall.

That's really a no-brainer in my book.

Farmer Ted got Molly Ringwald's underwear.

And did the hottest chick in the school in a Rolls Royce.

Pretty good credentials.

!

One thing I just realized...that Emilio Estevez is short. What is Paula like 4-11?

Ok so she's 5-2...he's 5-5 then.

Yeah, but Billy the Kid cleaned up an entire town full of corrupt officials and assorted riff-raff.

bah who wants that. guy probably smelled like manure at the end of the day.

Baby faced killer vs. brace faced geek. Women may say they want the nice guy, but in the end, they're on the back of the Harley.

Ah but he was Johnny Be Good. Football star.

Oh My GOD!!! THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!

Reap the Whirlwind Murphy...REAP IT!

Gordon Bombay had sex with Julie "The Cat" Gaffney

i hate to point this out but some of you are confusing anthony michael hall and emilo estavez (although they were both in breakfeast club)

AMH is a phoney.

So Paula has had sex with Soda-Pop though.

On an almost completely unrelated matter, anyone know when The Dead Zone is coming back for season 4? I want to see the 2nd part of the season finale.

SI

I'd rather rapel down it.


Todd

We're discussing whether she was better off with Estavez, or should have gone for Hall.

That's nothing compared to someone who'll throw you on the back of his horse and take you to ol' Mexico.

June 12.

It'd be very Chuck Norris

On a related note to this, anyone know when Season 3 of the Dead Zone comes out on DVD? (Hopefully before June 12th)

And Freejack!

According to tvtome:

The Complete Third Season

Season Set

June 7, 2005

SI

Five days to watch through Season Three....no problem.

I've watched far more tv in far less time ;)

SI

there is still no news that Paula got fired from American Idol

Linky

does anybody know if Paula Abdul will be on tonight show?

i guess she not fire yet.

"I am quite surprised and disappointed ABC is devoting an hour of its prime time programming to air tabloid trash," a top FOX executive said from Los Angeles.

Now that's just pure comedy right there.

They deleted the second part of his quote, which was "I mean, only one hour? Amateurs."

That expose is on now...

yep

on Primetime Live on ABC

It was a glorified one hour infomercial...

Yeah, talk about a waste of time - nothing that wasn't already in that new article that I read in three minutes.

A few observations:

1. Paula is pretty average without makeup, and this is several miles ago...

2. Is Emilio pregnant?

3. Unrelated to this photo, but referencing the earlier article & photo. The talentless pussy that "hosts" the show has a star??? WTF??? Who's next, the guy from Funniest Home Videos?

I'm pretty sure dave coulier and bob saget both have stars :P
