Save Paula! Abrool Pushed Out Of Idol??????

Filed under: Paula Abdul > American Idol

wenn5307285abdul.jpg

Paula Abdul will not returning as a judge on American Idol next season!!!!

Idol without Abdrool????

Noooo!!!!

"Very sadly, it does not appear that she's going to be back on Idol," Paula's manager, David Soneberg, informed reporters of his client's decision to leave this weekend.

Even though Paula wants to return as a judge, AI production heads FremantleMedia and 19 Entertaiment have yet to draw up a contract for Abrool.

And shooting begins on August 6th!!!

Soneberg says the lack of an offer is "unnecessarily hurtful," and FremantleMedia and 19 Entertaiment are guilty of being "unconscionable and certainly rude" because they've left Paula hanging.

Abdul's manager even contacted the big wigs at 19 Entertaiment to let them know Paula's game for season nine of the show, but he hasn't "received any proposal whatsoever."

Both Ryan Seacreast and Simon Cowell have been offered major $$$$$$ to return to Idol, and Randy's current AI contract runs through 2011, so what gives?

"She's not a happy camper as a result of what's going on. She's hurt. She's angry," says Soneberg.

Rightfully so!

We want Paula!!!!

P.S. Get rid of Kara, keep Paula, and bring Perez on board as the fourth judge on Idol!!!!!!!

    Sorry Perez, you are now becoming delusional and starting to believe your own press. You are not qualified to be a judge on AI. I, on the other hand with over 30 years experience in live and recorded music could do a great job on AI. Keep Paula, she Rocks!! OH and Perez, keep your day job, cause even that won't last forever!!



  2. 102

    i love kara and i loved paula….. but shes kindi drunkie so i dont know really… but yes i mean i love kara!!!



  3. 103

    She is the WORST part of the show!! I am so glad they are replacing her with someone that has some musical ability.



  4. 104

    omg mario u cannot be on idol your to resentful



  5. 105

    DON'T CARE ABOUT AI ANYMORE, HAVEN'T WATCH THE LAST 3 OR SO. I HAVE THAT CLUTCH SHE IS HOLDING (glad to see she wears the stuff she sells on Hsn), BUT IN BLACK & SILVER STUDS BOUGHT IT AT HSN.COM. IF SHE DOESN'T STAY IN AI, SHE WILL HAVE MORE TIME TO DESIGN the JEWERLY she sells!



  6. 106

    i don't watch the show but i would watch if Perez was on with Paula



  7. 107

    Simon's the only judge that really matters on the show - the rest are interchangeable. I'm beyond sick of Paula having nothing but praise for everyone. She's incapable of being honest.



  8. 108

    OMG I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU AS A JUDGE ON IDOL PEREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS SOOOO PERFECT I PRAY THEY DO IT!!!



  9. 109

    Perez as a judge on American Idol??? Hello no! Then I will definitely stop watching!



  10. 110

    This is such bologna. Don't believe everything you read people.



  11. 111

    I live in south africa and our idols is shitty,because our judges r crap! I absolutely love american idol,and look foward 2 it evry year,AI WNT B THE SAME WITHOUT PAULA ABDUL,LOVE OR HATE,SHE IS THE HEART OF THE SHOW.OVER YEARS SHE 'S GENERATED THE MOST ATTENTION 4 THE SHOW ,GOOD OR BAD, SHE GOT PEOPLE 2 WATCH,KARA IS MONOTONOUS…"CHOPS".I REST MY CASE. Love u paula! Keep her the show wld b boring without her,who wll simon flirt with??? Kara? Ugh!



  12. 112

    AI will not be the same without Paula!!
    That sucks.



  13. 113

    Paula is the show, it won't be the same without her.



  14. 114

    #KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula#KeepPaula



  15. 115

    Nooooooooooooooo, c'mon, Paula is great on the show.

    Say what you will about her, she's entertaining and she seems genuine in her support for the contestants.



  16. 116

    Even though you're just kidding, it actually wouldn't be a bad idea to bring you on the show as a fourth judge. It would be the highest rated, most controversial season of American Idol ever!



  17. 117

    Paula's Paula and I really do enjoy her. Kara, as much as I wanted to give her a chance, was just too boring; but she did have some good moments, just too few of them.

    I hope Paula returns, otherwise, AI is going to sink.



  18. 118

    I think it is time for Paula to leave. Let's face it she offers nothing in the sense of judgement on American Idol. Plus, Ms. Abdul could roll out a full length album and tour. Now that would be the show to see.



  19. 119

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will not watch AI if she is not a judge that SUCKS



  20. 120

    They are making a big mistake if they do not bring her back! If they keep Kara it will be an even bigger one, they might be thinking people hate kara so she be good for the show like everybody hating Simon. People don't hate her for telling the truth they just hate her. She talks tooooo long and doesn't bring anything to the table. Keep Paula! And maybe let Perez on a show or two!



  21. 121

    Goodness, does 19 entertainment have any common sense???? no one clearly liked kara. BRING PAULA BACK!!!!!



  22. 122

    OMFG!
    i would love to have you as a judge!!!!
    LOOOOOOL



  23. 123

    it's not really american idol without paula, randy, simon, and ryan



  24. 124

    Perez, you have even less authority to judge a singing contest than a tone deaf person.



  25. 125

    hahaha i would LOVE to see you on that show! although i never watch it i would watch it if you were on



  26. 126

    that's such a joke.

    Paula had such a great season this year. no crazy or loopy moments.

    she definitely is a key part of this shows success and not bringing her back would be a huge mistake.

    Paula genuinely cares for these kids, and I think the show will lose a special quality without her.

    I dont know what IDOL IS THINKING!!



  27. 127

    HAHA! Im happy she's gone.. simply annoyingg.. i dont watch either way. As if they would every let you be a judge! You would criticize anyone who doesn't look GAY!



  28. 128

    shut the f*** up perez. nobody wants you as a judge on idol. you're too damn annoying and you're a stupid hypocrite and you actually think you know something about music. you dont dumbass.



  29. 129

    Of course she'll return to Idol. How else will she support her prescription drug addiction? She's nothing without Idol. At least Simon and Ryan have other projects to fall back on. Dump Randy. He's useless.



  30. 130

    If they seriously keep Kara and dump Paula that will be the end of my Idol watching days. Seriously, the fans looooove Paula! Have they even bothered to pay attention to the audience's reaction to her?



  31. 131

    I will take Kara over Paula any day! I can't stand Paula Abdul…I usually tape AI and then fast forward through Paula. She's so annoying and has nothing of relevance to say.



  32. 132

    Nope, need new blood. Tired of Paula and her whiney, psyco- self.



  33. 133

    The three original judges make the show and it would not be the same without any of them. They're all unique individuals with something to contribute… Kara, not so much. And Perez - wishful thinking… you're too much like Simon, and one is all the show can manage.



  34. 134

    noooooo!! who's going to bring the crazy!?!



  35. 135

    FUUUUCK PEREZ!!! KEEP KARA JUST TO KEEP THAT GAY FUCKER OFF!!!!!!!! AND DIDN'T SIMON SAY IF PAULA LEAVES, HE WON'T BE RETURNING?? OK, CANCEL THE DAMN SHOW ALREADY.



  36. 136

    i love paula as a judge on idol…and perez would totally liven up the show… that would be so awsome if he was a judge!!!!!!!!!



  37. 137

    Keep Paula AND Kara!



  38. 138

    The show needs Paula. I won't watch without her.



  39. 139

    I like paula!
    p.s. NO WAY,Perez! You would totally suck! (more than NOW,if that's possible!)

    Paula has been part of American Idol since day 1 of the show. She has just got to stay on the show. I love watching Paula and Simon kid around. Paula is almost always kind to the contestants. She always has something good to say. The show worked great when it was just Simon, Paula, and Randy. They made a great team. I can understand Paula wanted more money when after Ryan got such a large increase. Come on American Idol, Paula is needed on the show as much as Ryan. The show is the #1 rated show and Paula is part of the reason. Yes, sometimes she does strange or silly things but that is what sometimes makes her so lovable and memorable.



  42. 142

    Are you people fucking kidding me? Paula is the worst fucking judge on there. She never criticizes anyone and she can't give advice. She was fucking washed up before she stepped in shit with this show and she doesn't deserve more money. She was on the verge of sucking dick for change before this show took off. I hate the fucking talentless celebs that try to think they are more important than they are. Kara is hotter and actually gives advice. Paula sucks moose cock. She is fucking high half the time and I bet you Fox found about her fucking that loser contestant really did happen and are now trying to kick her midget ass out the door. Fuck her! Fucking cum dumpster. Don't let the door hit you in your midget ass.



  43. 143

    #KeepPaula



  44. 144

    It brings me to tears to know that Paula may not be on idol. #KeepPaula I love her. Shes the greatest person ever



  45. 145

    NO PAULA NO IDOL!#KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #KeepPaula .



  46. 146

    Fox has to #KeepPaula Shes one true person who cares about her fans and we love her dearly. She's always in my heart.



  47. 147

    What qualifies you???

    They don't have any need for an immature 'stone' thrower who lives in a glass house.



  48. 148

    Re: Sensitivity – "Like me dickwad"?? Careful, your intelligence is showing.



  49. 149

    Re: xcalibur – Hmm…. You don't like Perez, yet you come to HIS site to bash him? All the while, you're racking up hits for him, and making him more money…



  50. 150

    You know, when she performed her new song "live" and was obviously mouthing the words, I realized that these so-called professionals are pathetic. I hope this bitch never works again because she's proven to me that she's a dodgy talentless hack, and a drama queen at that. Go mouth the words to yourself in the mirror.



  51. 151

    Agreed, keep Paula, dump Kara, shes a good for nuthin judge.

  52. pj88 says – reply to this


    152

    the chemistry between Paula and Simon is priceless…c'mon 19 Entertainment, cough up the doe….nobody even heard of Simon or Randy before this show, fans tuned in because of Paula… if that bitch Kara is in the centre come next January, I'll be watching something else



  53. 153

    I fast forwarded through Paula's babble all last season, since a lot of times I would just be going "huh? wtf???!!"

    I'm on Team Kara! She's honest and blunt without Simon's snide and sometimes cruel remarks.



  54. 154

    Perez, you like yourself too much for the job!
    I heard they failed to offer Paula the $$$$ she had been making and that's why she had not signed the contract.
    They wanted to make her budget for the pills a little smaller.



  55. 155

    I have never watched American Idol, but I would if you were a judge!!!



  56. 156

    i have watched every yr but no paula = shitty AI

    i wont tune in



  57. 157

    we can only hope this is true! i'm so sick of her!



  58. 158

    NOOO if they get rid of paula then the raateing will go down for sure! everyone loves her!!!



  59. 159

    won't watch w/o paula



  60. 160

    there are some VERY SEXIST PEOPLE working for that show. the show would do just fine without ryan seacrest. anybody can host it. but you cant replace the judges who have been there all the way. simon without paula is like rum without coke. without one, the other loses its flavor. they need to give paula what she wants, because she has had to put up with the most.



  61. 161

    Well Paula is a major part of American Idol…and AI is making a HUGE mistake!!



  62. 162

    Kara is gay friendly and honest. Paula is the poo, she thinks it is all about her! Good bye and good luck.



  63. 163

    paula is a drugged up moron who can barely stay awake. if she's gone-good riddance



  64. 164

    I say get rid of Randi cause he's useless, Replace him with Perez, Keep Kara, and their right in firing Paula, shes loca…



  65. 165

    WELL THEN, THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN 8 YEARS THAT I WON'T BE WATCHING AMERICAN IDOL. NOT THE BEGINNING OR THE ENDING. WITHOUT PAULA, WHO INCIDENTLY WENT THRU REHAB, ITS JUST NOT GONNA WORK FOR SOME OF US. SO BYE BYE AMERICAN PIE.



  66. 166

    Paula has always been underestimated. She said yes to David Cook, Chris Daughtry, Adam Lambert and praised Jennifer Hudson- all the opposite of Simon. Paula was always, always, spot on regarding her critics and advice to contestants-she knows what she is talking about. Because he realizes what it is like actually being a singer, and because she realzies the contestant knows his 'evaluation' is being heard by millions on tv, including family and friends- she always gave her critques ins a gracious manner. Naive, though intelligent and creative, she was rediculed during the show by Simon which is extremely difficult to deal with in the middle of doing one's job. Simon often was whispering in her ear just as she was talking- very disruptive. And again, Paula was the one who was more often correct in her appraisals, not the person who acted like he was the correct one. So American Idol will learn their lesson the hard way without Paula.



  67. 167

    It's that Kara chick that needs to go! She's such an IRRITANT! :(



  68. 168

    I wont watch without her. She was fun & unpredictable & Kara is boresville!



  69. 169

    You are shameless.

    Although I guess it shouldn't surprise me at this point.



  70. 170

    keep all 4 and leave perez bitch ass out



  71. 171

    How can the show treat Paula like this? She is the HEART of Idol!!! I have not warmed up to Kara and find her comments dull in comparison to Paula's. Sure Paula has been a character over the years, but that is what makes her fun to watch. You never know what she is going to say but you always know that she reacts from her gut, like a true fan of pop music. She does act like Simon and give the "exec in the music business" standpoint. That's fine too, but you need a judge who can evaluate from a fan's point of view as well. She dances to the music and she feels it. She also is so kind to the contestants and points out the good parts of their performances so they can build on that (rather than just throwing them a pile of negative comments).

    Come on! Let's all support Paula!



  72. 172

    ew , why the hell would they keep kara !?
    she was a horrible judge .
    it took her FOREVER to say what she wanted to say ..
    and it wasnt even nice like paula .
    omg .. is there any like , petition or something to bring her back ?



  73. 173

    I'm going to miss her



  74. 174

    perez and paula should make their own show!



  75. 175

    We need a Perez on that fuckin panel-Bunch of Dull Bastards!
    Need somebody fun to kick it up a notch..
    Poor Paula. She's the only one who puts heart into the advise she gives. Anyone can be a Simon and be rude-Anybody, we all have.
    Just anted to add, Perez, you should have dug your nails into that bitch from the Black eyed peas' manager's face. Or at least give him a "Black Eye".
    Peace



  76. 176

    WITHOUT PAULA, ARE YOU CRAZY!!!
    Access Hollywodd did a poll on this two days ago and 71% of those polled on whethet they want Paula to stay on the show said "Of course, it wouldn't be American Idol without her!" We love you Paula, we're not watching without you!



  77. 177

    PAULA IS THE BEST JUDGE!!!!



  78. 178

    KEEP PAULA!
    KEEP PAULA!
    KEEP PAULA!
    KEEP PAULA!

    AI's a FAMILY! Families stick together; plus, ppl be right; ratings would go DOWN the tubes and I myself would hate Paula's absence on AI. And "SAULA'S" (Simon/Paula) a HIT!
    Word up!
