Statement of Paula Abdul

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2005--Firstly, let me express my deepest appreciation to the thousands of people throughout the world who have written, e-mailed, and called to express their support for me. Words cannot express how grateful I am and will always be.

All my life, I have been taught to take the high road, and never to dignify salacious or false accusations. And I have been taught never, never to lie. Not only do I never lie, I never respond to lies, no matter how vicious, no matter how hurtful.

I do trust my fans who can see through attempts at character assassination, and I do trust the essential fairness of the American public.

This may sound weird, but I'm finding Corey's story believable - but I find Trenyce completely unbelievable.

I do think Corey is trying to promote himself and may be exaggerating - but how can you get past the phone calls and the prescription bottle?

Trenyce is just sour grapes. She's a Whitney wanna-be with an axe to grind.

The real truth is that the viewers make the call - pun intended - so what does it all matter anyway?

OT: Where are the fan threads? I came in here to drool over Bo-Licious!

Hmmmm, when there was a lot of speculation about Paula being on drugs, she DID deny it.

I suppose Paula has a manager to tell her what to say, too. Probably a smidge smarter than Corey's.

LOL, HP.. maybe a smidge, but in the past she may not have listened to him any more than Michael Jackson listens to his advisors..

Texannie.. I don't think that is a direct quote,at least I wasn't attempting to make one.. just what I gathered he was implying between all the "know what I'm sayin' s" and I've deleted the two shows I watched already.

If Ms. Abdul weren't such a vixen preying on wayward young men, we wouldn't have to worry about all this mishugas. I just wish she were a more honorable famous middle-aged woman than she apparently is. It's a shanda. Truly.

Slightly off topic, but responsive to Tish . . .

I have always admired these actresses as strong, attractive and honorable middle-aged women. Don't wanna know if they have skeletons anywhere!

Ummmmmm. I thought the tone of my "middle aged vixen" post was clear and that the Yiddishisms would give it away. I guess not.

Oh. Well. I knew it was tongue in cheek. Sorry, anything else obviously sailed over my head.

ABC's "Fallen Idol" special was a "scandalous standard of broadcast journalism, most charitably described as a case of sweep fever," The Hollywood Reporter says. "If ABC News really had the goods, Quinones would have said so. Instead, he told viewers, 'You be the judge' -- a phrase that is perilously close to the faux fairness mantra of Fox News: 'We report. You decide.' Any investigative report worthy of airtime should connect the dots for viewers. The burden of sifting through the facts to arrive at the truth should be shouldered by the reporter, not the viewer."

The older I get, the more I think that the best advice to give anyone in a dicey situation is just to brazen it out. Make everyone else look coarse by having to call you a liar.

That only works if you're innocent. Otherwise, you just become the stuff of late night talk show jokes.

is what Paula has (allegedly) done really that much different than Jeff Probst dating Julie Berry? Jeff manipulates the outcome of the tribal council votes with his questions. From what I understand it isn't really so much that Paula had a sexual relationship with a contestant, it's the coaching that's the problem. If Jeff was attracted to a Survivor contestant, he could have protected her in the way he manipulated tribal councils... I'm just sayin'...
