Straight Up: Paula Abdul Departs AMERICAN IDOL!!
I am – Hercules!!
Fox sources confirm Paula Abdul’s twittering: while Simon, Randy and Kara will be back as judges on television’s top-rated series' next, ninth season, Paula will not.
Presumably her departure is precipitated by a salary dispute.

how will I live on?!?!
oh wait, only tapioca-brains watch American Idol... -
oh oh oh.
-
...oh oh oh - for not giving Paula her raise.
-
pretty pretty please let us know if we are to expect the Venture Brothers interview.
-
like we all didn't see this coming when the other chick was hired. She was the new version, plus less of a pill addiction.
-
That's ZERO coverage for True Blood, Weeds or Entourage but this gets the time of day???
What the hell happened to you guys?
-
you are a POOR scorekeeper:
aintitcool.com/node/41885 -
It's almost like these talkbacks come to life!
-
Is copying and pasting a press release really considered coverage?
I'll give you partial credit with a "could do better".
I'm just remembering not so long ago that I could come to this site and read quite a bit about the week's eps (plotlines, guest stars, etc.) and considering how much True Blood and Weeds are amping up their games, I was hoping to see a bit more love here, but hey that's just me. -
for a handful of Lortabs and vodka chaser. Its true. Paula will let you put her moist musky camel-toe between your lips and give her a dental dam hummer. I've done it twice. She likes watermelon vodka, by the way
-
...back to obscurity where she belongs. The only way next season is not the last for "AI" is if DioGuardi goes topless.
-
rim shot!
-
full of his own money. He's one of those rare pricks who milks a shitty, shitty execution of a shitty premise for hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars from masses of fucking retarded humans. And he doesn't even have to put on a phony face about it. Sir I salute you!
-
this shit flows like a river.
-
Emillo and her split up. I am so bummed down right now.
-
Buh-Buh Bye Bye, BuhBuh-BuhBuh Bye!
Who gives a fuck? -
When they brought the new chick in last season, it seemed like they were setting up a replacement in advance. I'm sure the producers are sick of her drug-induced incoherent ramblings on that show. She's nothing more than a joke. With her exit from Idol, so ends her career in showbusiness. Watch her quickly fade into obscurity.
-
Paula had hits. She's not even a one hit wonder. And she was a talented dancer and choreographer but I don't think she can do that anymore because she got hurt and that's why she started taking those pills. But I thought she went to some kind of rehab. I mean, I like her. I don't watch that show. But she seems like a nice person and I don't know if it's necessary that she disappear. I hope she gets to do something else.
-
I guess it's kind of admirable that she's deciding to exit this time rather than simply getting bounced into has-been status. Not sure what else she'll do with her time, however, or who will bother to pay her for whatever it is that she can do.
-
Alco. Sit on some Mexicans too, freak.

Maybe now she can get that live Mexican furniture to play with?

Simon Cowell is the one who matters. Love Him or hate him, he is the real star.
I couldn't care or give a damn about other judges.
Paula is a weirdo. I say good riddance biatch. -
I only watch for the retards that FOX allows at the beginning of the season
-
I mean, after that, what's left to spoil? I don't give a shit, American Idol is a vapid poison, I'm just saying...Kinda seems like you guys blew your wad on the headline, and then tried to make it seem like foreplay.
-
Didn't you know that?
-
Never watched the show, never will. Maybe she can go on "Celebrity Rehab", or better yet "Celebrity Lobotomy".
-
on the next season of "American Idol."
-
...But enough about my ex-girlfriend, PAULA ABDUL'S LEAVING AMERICAN IDOL! OH NO!
How can you possibly get tired of picking out closeted homos who sing like shit for 7 1/2 minutes of morning show fame?! Come back, Paula! -
It could have Arsenio Hall as the host :D
Or maybe the guy that used to cohost with Seacrest back in the first season.
And have the real Randy Jackson... the one from the Jackson 5.
And as far as Simon Cowell... its not like LA isnt filled with has been asshole music producers.
As a switcharoo though... they should get a black guy to be the asshole judge.
How bout Dr. Dre :)
Is Timbaland a jerk?
The white guy can be Moby... or how bout Joey Fatone, he's up for anything.
-
I'd do her. But what the fuck has this got to do with anything? It's not enough that I often see movie news appear on Digital Spy or fucking teletext DAYS before it gets posted here, now you're gonna cover American Idol? Get the fuck off the internet if this is the best shit you can peddle.
-
No. Seriously.
-
matrix is a big geek movie, this is a big geek site...keanu reeves was in the matrix, keanu reeves was also in paula's rush rush video...so see, there's always a reason.
-
She would be a good judge, but I'm guessing exec producer and co creator Nigel Lythgoe don't wanna share limelight. But I would be happy if I'm proved wrong.
-
That would rock.
-
I would probably fuck that Kara chick after a couple of beers.
-
Well played. I was about to make a post that stated that she was in negative demand. This is the only thing I can think of that she could do other than sit at home waiting for the phone to ring.
-
Heard this on MSNBC this morning & haven't stopped laughing since.
-
are you really going to love me forever?" Apparently not.
-
She's been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get her job caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please -
She don't mean to make demands,
But the word and the deed go hand in hand.
How about some information--please
-
anyone who watches this glorified karaoke for any reason whatsoever.
entertainment value = negative million -
Let Paula do So You Think You Can Sing!!!!!!!!!!
-
What a fucking surprise. But not all geeks hate Idol. I love that shit. And whoever above said the contestants "can't sing" is full of shit.Paula's departure will make next season better. Also, since she left over money issues, who does she think is going to pay her more?
-
Like she wasnt making enough on that show WTF!!?? Compared to what most of us make. I hope the bitch goes broke.....
-
Around November I get all excited cause January brings me both "Lost" AND "American Idol" (thank God "The Office" has been on since Sept). And to those many geeks who hate on the show cause you think its bad...have you SEEN "Sanctuary"?
-
the other judges are major deuches
-
You wish, and you hope, but when it actually comes true you can't believe it! I've wanted her gone for so long. Now we just need Randy and Seacrest to hit the road.
I get a kick out of all the people on here who think badmouthing Idol automatically makes it appear as though they have good taste. They wave their arms and scream, "Look! I hate American Idol more than anyone? Check out the new insult I came up with." But, if only 'tapioca-brains' WATCH American Idol, what does that make somebody who reads and comments on American Idol stories on Ain't It Cool News? -
Ther shows true point is to make the audience an "A&R" person. That's why I watch the show. Who can swim with the sharks? Some let the show's producers/contestant handlers get in their heads and sabotage their chances. Others you learn, that while they have a good voice, they have no concept of complex music. One year a contestant butchered The Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" because he could not comprehend the song was in 12/8 time and the bass had the countermelody. The guy was voted off the next day.--------later-----m
-
I can't help but feel partly responsible. It feels good.
-
Would he have been voted off? The texts, my friend, are blowin' in the wind. The text messages are blowin' in the wind.
-
He never when on any amature hour tv show back in the 1950's and 1960's.-----m
-
Dang typosHe never appeared on any amature hour tv show back in the 1950's and 1960's.-----m
-
You have no talent. You'll never get anywhere unless you lose that nasal twang! Come back when can sing "A Moment like This!"
-
anyways. Not singing.
-
Kara is such a fucking cunt. At least Paula was funny.
-
...they keep Randy & Kara, and dump Paula. How the fuck does THAT work?
-
Enough with the protest songs, already, I'd really like to hear a few show tunes. Step outside your "comfort zone" and give us a rendition of a true classic, like "New York, New York" or "A Whole New World"
-
I just remembered this, while we're on the subject: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=wydrcj5Z9No
-
Dazed and confused as she was much of the time. I predict AI will start its downhill run this season...they must have mined out all the second-rate singers in the USA by now. Canadian Idol is already 'on hiatus' for a year...or however long. The talent pool up here just isn't that deep...
-
his bitch tits are gross and paula is a dancer not a singer.
-
I can hear Dylan now.
-
Herc, who cares?!
-
some more Xanax and Zoloft and all of that other sh*t. She has the brain of a poodle.
-
Paula Abdul: Idol & Me
-
True however Kara is just an annoying unattractive Bitch.Straight up.
-
knows when to get off a sinking ship....idol is sinking, slowly, but steadily...has been for a year or more....ratings slowly dropping as its realized how insignificant it really is...paula prob did quit so her dilusion that she is a "Star" wont get tarnished by still being associated with idol when that horrible, horrible, horrible show is circumcized from TV forever....cant wait....im gonna hav a "idol is cancelled" party...i really am....lol
-
It's always rated huge, and people are STILL talking about it. Shit! Twitter is full of Stay Paula posts.
-
sanctuary is an awesome show, so dont compare idol to it....first off theyre not even in the same category....sanctuary is sci fi...idol is crap... idol was the first of many, many annoying crap shows...maybe if it dies, most of them will too and we can get scripted shows every nite like we used to....let the mindless watch mtv so they can keep up with "date my mom"
-
its not dramatic but it is sinking....it wins its timeslots, sure...but ratings are down....simon has been tryin to bail on idol for years, now that paula has, i bet he goes next, then idol will be dead to most fans....and GOODBYE !!!
-
Aug 05, 2009 6:23:46 PM CDT
It wins the timeslots cause it's up against shit like Wife Swap
by lockesbrokenleg
-
and who cares what on "twitter" ...i hope idol capsizes on top of twitter and sinks em both .....lol
-
exactly ...hahaha.... wife swap...lol...id watch idol too, given the choice......luckily my DVR is always full of quality scripted shows to watch
-
... was that the black one or the bitchy gay one? Oh wait... the stoned chick. Well, never seen the show so I couldn't give a flying monkey fuck.
-
Back to the Kartoon Kats.
-
...Straight up now tell me!
Fuck I hate that song! -
Must be a real tell all site when they post shit that ninety percent of the visitors couldn't give less of a puppy fuck.
-
This pint sized, pill popping, pop tart has made how many tens of millions of dollars for doing what? Oh..she wanted 20 Million and they only offered 10, why the nerve of them..where else will they find a glazy eyed, almost 50yr old former 15 minute pop star turned narcissistic Karaoke Judge for the kind of money they are offering?!
-
Now you're defending American Idol?! You almost make me ashamed to be a Lost fan.
-
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
-
in front of her home now.
-
"Paula" is complete lunatic. A screaming, yelling tyrannical aristocrat. She wasn't aware that her drug addiction was showing?
