i think this show makes who ever put it on the air look pathetic. it is not a story that warranted a whole hour whether it is true or not.

What I think is sleazy is that he has waited this long to say anything until his book was written.

Really, Gidget and it sure doesn't warrant all the "You will never look at AI the same again" hype. There is no evidence so far that this is anything more than an infatuation of Paula's with one contestant. That shouldn't bring the whole show tumbling down. It will just end Paula's days as a judge.

You know, with all the crap going on in the world, I think ABC News could have used its resources a bit better. Is it really that important that Ms. Abdul was schtupping a piece of ripe man-meat like Mr. Clark? No. Besides, I'm not gonna learn all the really important details, like how long it lasted and how good it was.

I understand that sex sells and AI is big, but a whole hour?! Maybe they could have done an investigative report into Ms. Abdul's botox and cosmetic dentistry....it'd be just as worthwhile.

He is what he is. Heck, the personal relationship is no one's business but theirs, but the fairness violation to the other contestants is.

Interesting to note that all of Corey's songs thus far are about his affair with Paula.

Gidg, still up? I'm reading the spoiler cause I won't be able to stay up. Sounds a little disappointing so far.

If I remember correctly, the host says they were filming some of the earlier clips themselves for a story they were doing.

I believe that in two years while trying to get back on Broadway, Constantine too, will be holding up a bottle of vitamitavegemin with paula's name on it.

I think all the clips of him singing are just clips of one song. He named it Politics....or Paula-tics, not sure which.

What a waste of an hour. I wish I had gone to bed instead.

I've heard that Belinda Carlisle's name has been mentioned as a possible substitute for Ms. Abdul. I do hate to think of her leaving the show, however, because I just watched her E! True Hollywood Story and, really, it's more boring than almost any other True Hollywood Story. She's incredibly banal.

Remember: Heaven is a place on earth to Ms. Carlisle. She's got the beat but her lips are sealed.

Hey, but it sure as heck was when Clinton was in office, Herckle Anyhow......what a disappointment! I haven't found the show yet, so I really appreciate the spoiling here. Total letdown, though. I want a thorough investigation on the voting! Why the heck won't anyone take that on?! Argh!!!! Good gossip, but not the end. Now, if she had been boosting Ruben or Fantasia...... Ya know, I mean, he didn't even make it that far, from what everyone here says (I wasn't watching then), so either she didn't do a good enough job, or big whoop. I got the feeling that the judges have the ability to pop in during the week to observe practice sessions and offer advice (because the judges sometimes made comments about how the contestant did what they had talked about that week, etc). We know contestants get wardrobe advice, etc. (for good or bad!). There certainly are more obvious ways AI attempts to sway voters other than a little hankypanky on the side. JMH(and bored)O

Hi, Vacanick!

Well, they used each other. And he is still using her. But I'm buying the basic story, which is a mess for AI's credibility, IMO. Course with the 'vote for the worst' voting weirdness, it was a mess anyway.

So should Paula be voted off for impropriety or sheer bad taste? Paula, Paula what were you thinking? You can't just adopt a stray puppy and then kick it out the door when it pees on your rug!

Highlighter, he got kicked off the show because he had lied about an arrest. They showed a quick clip of him saying good-bye to his fans and saying he didn't disclose it because the charges were false, or some such b.s.

I think we demand more ethics from elected officials than we do our entertainers. (Btw, I voted for Clinton and still like him, but he was wrong. And no, I don't wanna go there and rehash that.)

Our ABC affiliate is saying up next is something that wasn't shown on the network show. Something edited out? I'll let you know if it's anything interesting. Probably not.

NOPE... MORE HYPE.. SAME STUFF.

If she goes on Tuesday, it will follow a slander lawsuit against Corey. If she does not, it will be just as uncomfortable, because of how glaring her absence would be. The producers are in a tough place--except I bet viewership hits a new high.

Hope someone keeps an eye on Paula. She's not too steady as it is; this could really push her over the edge.
