This is more Drudge, so take it with a grain of salt until you hear it from more sources, but so far this "expose" sounds like it's all about Paula, from the former non-winners. So sad: Late night phone calls and answering machine messages are said to tie Abdul, 42, to an inappropriate relationship with a 22 year-old contestant, sources tell DRUDGE. ABC is preparing to play the audio, along with on-camera interviews given by former contestants who did not receive the same personal "coaching." LINK

yummy, yummy. Do I detect a dramatization in the works? Paula sitting in her king sized bed, with satin comforter, bottle of pills thrown all over the bed, drink in hand.....Phone in one ear.

Now I'm sure Miss Paula is a very nice lady I'm surprised at all you kicking her in the slats while she's tapping on a waxed floor with one foot and dialing for diddles with the other. This remarkably talented lady can even accomplish all of the above while juggling an iced bottle of Absolut, a 500-count bottle of Vicodin and a black book filled with contestants/attorneys/pharmacists phone numbers. Cut the chick some slack, will ya? She's already circling the wide part of the bowl and she's picking up speed. I for one am going to be irritated if she test drives the East Central Interceptor Sewage Express before June.

'Idol' rumors about Paula Abdul? Former contestant alleges inappropriate relationshipBy Keith Morrison Dateline NBC Updated: 1:07 p.m. ET May 2, 2005 Is there anyone alive who doesn't love, at least just a little bit, good old fashioned gossip? Especially when the gossipee happens to be the famously sympathetic “American Idol” judge, apparently sweet, apparently loveable, Paula Abdul. Of course, the truly juicy bit of gossip is that she may have known at least one of those contestants a little too well. Ken Baker: “Corey Clark is alleging that Paula Abdul seduced him.” Ken Baker is the senior West coast editor of US Weekly. The old Hollywood cliché. Former “Idol” contestant Corey Clark is reportedly peddling a tabloid kiss-and-tell that is raising the question, are one of TV's hottest shows for four years straight and a beloved judge the pretty ex princess of pop, in for a crash landing? Baker: “People have opinions about Paula Abdul. They love her. They don't like her. They think she's loopy. And that makes her a really good TV personality. And it's worked for the show.” But is it still working? Few things sell so well as a lurid headline, but this one in the tabloid, The Globe, questions whether Abdul tried to fix the contest by promising some secret help. Clark says The Globe alleges she promised to choose his songs, help his style, and no matter what happened in the contest, even put up $2 million of her own to make him a star. Baker: “If what Corey Clark is saying is true, then Fox has a big mess on their hands. And Paula Abdul has an even bigger mess on her hands.” Yes, but in 2003, Kimberly Locke was a fellow contestant, and was disappointed there was virtually no contact with their famous judges. Even sneaking a meeting on the down low would have been very difficult. Baker: “Somebody would have seen it.We had a security guy. So it was like you had to bypass him. And he took names.” And it was discovered that Clark wasn't exactly the ideal idol.The show's background check had failed to turn up criminal charges then pending against him. When producers found out, Corey Clark was finished. Pat Lalama is a correspondent for "Celebrity Justice." Pat Lalama: “He's ambitious. He's disgruntled, perhaps. He has an axe to grind. There's a dollar sign in each eye.” Neither Fox nor American Idol had a comment for Dateline, though the show's executive producer has dismissed any suggestion that the show is fixed, and fellow judge Simon Cowell, has called the charges rubbish. Efforts to reach Corey Clark were unsuccessful. Click for related story Who's up and who's down in 'American Idol' And Paula Abdul has issued a statement saying Clark is communicating lies about her in order to generate interest in a book deal. Scandal, once started, is however, not so easy to put to bed. So was it a coincidence when Paula's own so-called "secret battle" with her medical issues appeared in People Magazine aroundthe same time Corey Clark's allegations surfaced elsewhere? Lalama: “It's what I like to call the Hollywood preemptive strike.” Paula was shocked, according to this latest story, to learn that “Idol” fans had been posting Internet questions about her. Was she on drugs? Taking pills? Hasn't she been looking, well, stoned? Lalama: “It's a come to the table, lay your heart out, let me tell you about my 25 years of pain and suffering.” But has it really been so secret? Or is it actually an old story to be told again at a vulnerable time? Paula Abdul shared the secret of her medical woes for the first time on Dateline, two years ago, when she spoke to Ann Curry. advertisement Paula Abdul: “I've not publicly talked about what my struggles have been. I had three discs that were completely ruptured and wore out so I was bone on bone on bone. And it was causing me to have partial paralysis.” She was losing all feeling down the right side of her body, she says. Abdul: “It then started radiating through my lower back and through my right hips into my legs. And I kept it pretty darn quiet. And took a good six, six and a half years. Went in and out of surgeries.” It started she says with a cheerleading move in high school that went very wrong. Abdul: “There was one time that I fell and I wasn't caught properly and I had this really weird pain that went from the top of my head and it just trickled down all the way to my feet. From that moment on weird things would happen. Like I'd wake up and I couldn't lift my head.” But Paula was moving way too fast to worry about that. She became one of the famous L.A. Lakers cheerleaders in 1980, in 1986 she was choreographing with Janet Jackson. By 1989, Paula's hit "Straight Up" shot right to the top. In the 90s she earned two multi-platinum albums, six number one singles, a Grammy and two Emmys. And she never let on that she was in pain. Abdul: “Dancers never complain. Pain becomes your friend. And the more I danced, the more I sing, I never knew that you know, protruding disks were like cutting off my air passage and causing you know nerve entrapment. Along with that, she did 30 shows on tour with a torn knee. Finally a plane crash in 1992 kept her in constant pain. Abdul: “It's something that is so aggressive that it takes your breath away. And makes your teeth start chattering because it's so uncomfortable. They could give me pain pills that would put a 300 pound man out. And there were no answers. Sometimes medicine doesn't work.” She suffered for years, she said, undergoing 10 spinal surgeries, having three metal plates put in her neck, and losing half an inch in height. She had surgery just months before was to start an exciting new job. She began praying out loud.” Abdul: “Please let this work because I'm going to take the job called 'American Idol.' And I deserve to this job. I have to do this job because there's nobody else who can do it but me. And well it's either going to work or it's not." Paula told Ann Curry back then that she was just about pain free, and even dancing again. Abdul: “There's no comparison to what I was going through as far as pain. And I've been able to manage it through physical therapy.” What Paula has recently revealed that is new is that she's finally found a doctor who figured out what was wrong. She says it's a nervous system disorder, often caused by an injury, which produces chronic pain. She's finally free of pain, she says, thanks to medication. So "no," she tells “Idol” fans, she's not addicted to drugs at all. Lalama: “And so you've got Corey who's been in trouble before, you've got Paula who's had all these illnesses and problems. You've got this giant machine called "American Idol" and man we're just gonna have to sit back and put our seatbelts on and take the ride. Keith Morrison: “Does a little scandal hurt the show?” Baker: “Absolutely not.” Lalama: “This is Hollywood. The badder the better." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7702779/

and the best line of all from the drudge story: ""I am quite surprised and disappointed ABC is devoting an hour of its prime time programming to air tabloid trash," a top FOX executive said from Los Angeles. "

Face it, ABC gets no news ratings (particularly following Jennings' illness) and has no hi-profile reality show. What better way to get a free sweeps-week audience than to tear down another network's reality show using the (non)talent from your failing news division? ABC's just disappointed Geraldo Rivera wasn't available to free-lance the story for them.

By the way as a small tidbit of information, ABC turned down American Idol and then it was picked up by Fox. So there is also an element of sour grapes going on here. But we are the beneficiaries.

Interesting article.... it mentions a "rumor" that Paula may step down. I can't imagine, and I know we do not want that to happen! American Idol 4 Will Paula Step Down? A May Sweeps Sex Scandal By Ron Lemon May 2, 2005 Are Paula's days as an American Idol Judge numbered? Will she step down? Those are the questions buzzing around the net today as ABC get ready to air its "explosive expose" Wednesday night. In case you have been in a coma for the last week we will breifly recap the situation for you. Former American Idol contestant Corey Clarke, who was kicked off the show for failing to diclose his criminal and legal issues to the show's producers is now shopping a kiss and tell all book. In the book Clarke alledges that Paula "seduced him" with offers to help him with song selection, style choices and generally help him succeed in the compitition. He says she gave him money and offered him up to two-million dollars in exchange for having sex with her and being her "special friend." CLICK HERE FOR THE REST - IT'S LONG...
