Shocking reports today that lovable American Idol judge Paula Abdul may not return to the show for next season. Is there a catfight going on between Paula and newbie judge Kara Dioguardi?? The L.A. Times reports that David Sonenberg, Abdul’s manager, told them this about Paula’s contract negotiations.
Sonenberg said American Idol production companies FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment haven’t presented him with a proposed contract yet. He says the “rude producers” are behind this shizz.
“I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful,” Sonenberg said of the contract holdup. “I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do.”
Don’t fire Paula!! The show won’t be the same without her unicorns and rainbows! Who will slur their words and be more entertaining than the contestants??? 19E, you’re making a BIG mistake.
There’s just no way they’ll let her go. She’s so useless when it comes to giving informative feedback, but all the same please don’t leave us with just Kara!
I am sick and tired of all the drinking inuendo’s. I have been watching Idol for years and have never felt that Paula was inebriated. She deserves some respect. She, unlike the other judges was a real entertainer. You are very opinionated, and you can always tell who you like or dislike. In my opinion that is not entertainment reporting. Please do not send me any more e-mails.
@Jodi: There’s no way you’ve watched Paula for years and never questioned her sobriety during shows. Paula is the one that sits in the middle and has long hair. Perhaps you’re thinking of Simon?
