Speculations over Paula Abdul’s return to American Idol can finally be put to rest as she will not be returning as judge on American Idol, reports PEOPLE.
“With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to Idol,” Abdul, 47, writes on her Twitter page. “I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day one become an international phenomenon.”
She adds: “What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me. I do, without any doubt, have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.”
Paula’s reps have refused to comment except provide a confirmation that she is leaving. The show will begin taping for the 9th season, with auditions starting in Denver.
FOX TV also released a statement saying, “Paula Abdul has been an important part of the American Idol family over the last eight seasons and we are saddened that she has decided not to return to the show,” “While Paula will not be continuing with us, she’s a tremendous talent and we wish her the best.”
With Paula gone, the three other judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi will return.
Tell us: Are you going to keep watching AI without Paula?
No way. I ned someone to be incoherent when they are speaking on AI.lol. Please dont go, Dont go I am begging you to stay.lmao
I don’t watch AI to begin with and nobody cares what happens to Paula Abdul. She blew it for herself by acting like the drugged out wack job she is on various talk shows and interviews. They wanted her gone, that’s why that brought in that other chick and had her strip at the end of last season. AI doesn’t want to ruin it’s squeaky clean family show image by having her drugged up ass on the show. I bet Seacrest worked out a deal that he gets a million every time Simon makes an insinuation that he’s gay.
Fox is making a HUGH mistake letting Paula Abdul go. She is worth every dime she is asking for and the rating of “American Idol” WILL go down. I will not be watching or voting on American Idol without Paula. Paula and Simon make up half of the show and Fox is STUPID for letting her go. Get rid of Kara–and get Paula back. Paula was there first. Kara is a poor judge and not at all liked. GET PAULA BACK–GET PAULA BACK– GET PAULA BACK–GET PAULA BACK. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANTS PAULA BACK. PLEASEEEEEEEEE GET PAULA BACK
I AM BEGGING YOU–GET PAULA BACK. DO NOT LET PAULA GO–GET PAULA BACK NO MATTER WHAT THE COST–GET PAULA BACK. I AM BEGGING YOU AGAIN–GET PAULA BACK. THE SHOW WILL BE “”"”"”NOTHING”"”"”"WITHOUT PAULA. SHE’S CLASSY, SEXY, LIKABLE, VERY FRIENDLY, HAS COMPASSION, AND SIMON DOES NOT WANT HER TO LEAVE!!!!!!! GET PAULA BACK–NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO–GET PAULA BACK. I AM JUST “”"SICK”"”THAT SHE WILL NOT BE THERE. WITHOUT PAULA–AMERICAN IDOL IS “HISTORY” FOR ME. WAKE UP FOX
