I recall him as being another one in the "flea dip" category....however, the stylists did get ahold of him and he did clean up nicely. Paula, Paula - what are you thinking? Kisses on Simon's cheek are one thing - but Justin Guarini???

Now I suppose She will admit to having a drug problem which affected her judgement.

Paula Abdul: Allegations 'lies' Responds to claims made by ex-contestant on ABC special Wednesday, April 27, 2005 Posted: 1:28 PM EDT (1728 GMT) NEW YORK (AP) -- Paula Abdul is taking pre-emptive measures to squash a controversy sparked by an upcoming ABC special on "American Idol." Though the exact nature of the "Primetime Live" special, "Fallen Idol," remains unknown, ABC has said it will "explore explosive claims about behind-the-scenes activities" at the Fox talent contest. Reports have speculated that it will hinge on Corey Clark, a contestant who was dropped from the show in 2003 after producers learned about a past arrest. He is reportedly trying to sell a tell-all book about his experiences with the program, including an alleged affair with Abdul, one of the three judges on the show. On Tuesday, a spokesperson for Abdul released a statement to syndicated entertainment show "Access Hollywood": "Paula Abdul will not dignify the false statements made by Corey Clark with a response. Mr. Clark is an admitted liar and opportunist who engages in unlawful activities. He is communicating lies about Paula Abdul in order to generate interest in a book deal." Further, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Abdul's lawyer, Marty Singer, has sent a letter to ABC threatening legal action if the network airs the special. Simon Cowell, the show's more critical judge, defended Abdul on the syndicated entertainment show "Extra" Tuesday. "Paula, to be fair to her, will spend more time backstage with the contestants giving encouragement. But that's not a bad thing," Cowell said. "I think (the accusations) are rubbish. I think this is a guy who's out there to publish a book." The third judge, Randy Jackson, and host Ryan Seacrest also appeared on programs Tuesday to defend Abdul and "American Idol." Efforts by The Associated Press to reach Clark have been unsuccessful. Clark was booted from the show for not disclosing that he was facing assault charges for allegedly assaulting his teenage sister and resisting arrest. He later pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of obstructing the legal process. The hourlong "Primetime Live" report by anchor John Quinones is scheduled May 4 (10 p.m. ET). No mention was made of the ABC special on Tuesday night's episode. One of the remaining six contestants was to be eliminated Wednesday night. link

Now to add to the above, this morning on CNNs gossip fest, one entertainment reporter said, everyone in the business knows that when you send your lawyers out front and center, it is probably true.

Too me it sounds like Corey is bitter he didn't get his 15 minutes of fame like he wanted so he's got a chip on his shoulder and is trying to find another way to do it.

It sounds to me like she slept with him and when the affair fizzled with no money or help from Paula he decided to make the money himself!

And even if he gets nothing from Paula, this is sure to sell books.

Hmm, I don't know what to make of this. The only problem I see is the fact that AI dismissed Corey because of a past arrest, but didn't do the same to Scott. Did AI use the arrest an excuse to let Corey go because of his relationship with Paula, or did it have nothing to do with it? It wouldn't be an issue if the rules were the same for everyone. Interesting comment from the entertainment reporter. If they're right, AI needs to replace Paula. There is no way she should be having a relationship with any of the contestants.

I agree Cricket! They need to have uniform rules about these people and their backgrounds! It makes it patently obvious that they are manipulating things for their own benefit!

Corey had a whole bunch of other issues, assaulting four police officers and then they discovered he was also wanted for passing bad checks. Scott, in my mind should never have qualified with assaulting his girlfriend in his past. Says something about the producers and network that they didnt see it as any big deal. Well now they are stuck with Scott and he may win this thing. I am betting that Scott has a long future of arrests ahead of him. He is going to be the Bobby Brown of the AI world. you heard it from me first!!!!

I thought Trynese was the one with the bad checks. And she got away with that one, too, now that I think about it. They must have wanted her to stay on for some reason. Well, I said at the beginning of this season they wanted a white male winner this year and it looks like they've almost managed to manufacture it so far. If it's the next Bobby Brown, so be it. I only keep watching this season so I can vote in the poll and comment on here. It's just a dirge at this point. Come back to the five and dime, Mario Vazquez, Mario Vazquez!

I dont know Tish, CNN reported that Corey had assaulted a half sister, assaulted four police officers and then it was discovered he was wanted for passing bad checks. They sure could have had it wrong.

They used the excuse that Corey tried to hide what he did, but Scott and Trenyce were upfront and told the 19 and AI people about the arrests.

I think the other thing about Corey was that the case wasn't resolved at the time he entered AI - wasn't he technically violating the terms of his release? Wasn't he missing court dates or something?

OK - To summerize- Yes, Corey had a conflict with a court date appearance and a performance night. He would have had to miss the show to make the court date and he had not informed the show that he was being prosecuted, albeit, not yet convicted. Scott was convicted of disorderly conduct, did not serve time, but did anger management class and probation. Both he and his girlfriend dispute the police record of events. (I know the record of events of my car accident was false as I was being treated for injuries and was told to sign the papers when not quite aware of what I was signing.) Scott informed the producers before he went to Hollywood. Bo was not convicted of drug problems, but both times took an alternate treatment instead of pleading guilty. He informed producers before going to Hollywood. The differences - 1) Corey did not tell, 2) Corey would be violating his court appearance if he appeared on the show or would be unavailable for the show if he made the court appearance.
