Corey's 15 may be up, if you agree with this article...

Corey Claims ‘Explicit’ Evidence, But He’s Losing the P.R. Battle
by David Bloomberg -- 05/13/2005
Corey Clark is making another attempt to get the headlines. This time his lawyer is claiming Corey has “explicit” evidence to support his allegations about Paula. But he won’t show it. Meanwhile, his old manager isn’t exactly giving him a whole lot of support. David brings us up to date on the story.

Apparently, Corey Clark isn’t happy. Maybe we haven’t been paying enough attention to him. Maybe he can’t go a full week without a headline. Whatever the reason, he’s back again. I have noted recently that Corey’s allegations have been losing, rather than gaining, ground in the evidence department. So if Corey was going to come forward again, he would hopefully have something to show us, right?

Wrong.

Well, wrong unless we are a “governmental agency that launches an investigation stemming from his claims.” Yes, Corey claims to have new evidence that apparently wasn’t aired on Primetime Live. The evidence, his lawyer claims, is “explicit” and “incriminating.” Explicit? As in potentially an “explicit” videotape? He didn’t say, but that seems to be the implication.

But he has no plans to reveal it anyway. Unless he hears from that government agency, that is. What government agency? Is there really a government agency that cares about Corey Clark and Paula Abdul? What is this, Idolgate? Please.

To add to the lumps that Corey is taking, an article on Las Vegas City Life’s website quotes his former manager, David Wallace, as saying his allegations against Paula are “desperate and manipulative” and that embellishing the truth to get his way “is Corey’s modus operandi. Ouch.

Wallace had signed Corey to a contract while Corey was still young. In fact, Corey even moved in with Wallace and his family, so Wallace knew him well. To add to the misery, Wallace also pointed out that Corey was actually still “under managerial contract” with him when Corey was on Idol, which is a violation of their rules, so “apparently he lied to the producers.”

Finally, in other news Simon Cowell appeared on a couple daytime shows where he said that Paula would not be fired or punished by AI. So Corey is definitely looking like the loser of this battle so far.

But, honestly, I think he deserves it. The more that comes out, the less likely it looks like Corey has been telling the whole truth. Maybe there is a small kernel of truth there – as I’ve said before, maybe Paula did give him more help than some of the other contestants – but anything that might have come out of that has probably been lost by all the other allegations that have simply not held water. If there was a story here, I believe that story has been lost.

Paula has still not specifically come out with a denial of Corey’s claims, other than basically calling him a liar. However, at this point it seems she doesn’t have to. Fans appear to support her, the producers seem to support her, the other previous and current contestants seem to support her. She can move forward.

But as we see with Corey’s latest claim, he can’t. He apparently needs the headlines. Maybe if he truly has “explicit” evidence and shows it, he’ll get the headlines again. But playing games won’t get them for him anymore.

I read an article today (I wish I had saved the link - if I have time I will go look for it) - couple of points:

1. It was never verified that the telephone number on Corey's phone records were Paula's;
2. ABC did NOT air interview of Sprint employee verifying that Paula bought Corey a cell phone.
3. The receipt did NOT prove that Paula bought Corey those clothes and why would she since the contestants are given a wardrobe allowance as well as stylists.

Is his 15 minutes up yet????

Corey Clark was on the Howard Stern show tonight. I NEVER watch that guy because I cannot stand him, but I did watch this show for about 20 minutes before I could not listen anymore.

Of course, Howard and his gang all believe that Paula went after Corey, who says girls have been hitting on him since he was 5 years old and that he has been getting laid since he was 14 years old, mostly by older women. He was giving Howard and the gang blow by blow descriptions of exactly how this tryst began and they were all hanging onto every word.

Corey did say he was reading an article in a very "credible newspaper" yesterday that said because of the Patriot Act the FBI has records of every phone call that has been made. I think he said they could listen to them too. I'm not sure though. He is not the most articulate person around.

I got tired (real quick) of listening to them speak so degrading about women and sex. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why that girl is on the show.

I could care less if Paula Abdul slept with this guy. There is nothing the least bit attractive about him to me and all I can think is to each his own.

<el> I am glad that Paula did not get fired over this.

For me, his 15 minutes were over about 10 minutes ago.

I also saw Mr. Clark last night on Mr. Stern's show. Well...it was interesting. The more I hear him, the more believable he is and the less I care.

I honestly don't think I needed to know whether Mr. Clark used condoms when he was intimate with Ms. Abdul nor did I need to know what her breasts were like. In a strange way, I feel almost sorry for Mr. Clark, who is obviously not articulate and is seemingly not very bright either; I think he's being used by people--ABC, Mr. Stern, his handlers, his parents--as much as he's using his affair with Ms. Abdul.

*************************************************

Tishala, I felt the same way -- his story is more believable because he seems to be very consistent with his facts.

It is too bad he does not have someone with a tiny amount of intelligence in his corner who could point out to him that he is only making a bigger fool of himself.

Yet another conspiracy theory........Mario left because Paula approached HIM with an offer of help. (If I can work Bo and Anthony into this one, I think I'll have all the conspiracies interlocked!)

Maris, (and everyone else) have you seen the new show "Living With Fran"? The stairs on the show's set are covered in leopard print carpeting. I immediately pictured Paula's place.

PAULA ABDUL TO HOST AFFAIR, OR MAYBE NOT

By CINDY ADAMS May 20

TOMORROW night. Marriott Marquis. Fifteen hundred guests. The Hellenic Times Scholarship honoring anchor Ernie Anastos. Fellow Greek American Alexis Christoforous of CBS' "MarketWatch" presents the award. Guest host is Paula Abdul.

Or, at least, was.

John and Margo Catsimatidis are the chairs. Wednesday John told me Paula's showing "definitely." Thursday Margo told me "We're hearing now she may not. That there may be a 'conflict'."

Paula's sudden "conflict," is it due to that fallen "American Idol" Corey creep whose mouth should be washed out with lye for what he's saying publicly about her?

Said Margo: "I don't know. She accepted this in the first place because she does 'American Idol,' and Ernie's dubbed 'The Greek American Idol,' so everybody thought it's a great idea. But it was organized eight weeks ago, before all the headlines."

Said John: "At this point we're kind of guessing she won't come, although they said they'd tell us definitely today. If she doesn't, she'll do a live video feed."

That column by Mrs. Adams is ridiculous. Who is she to call Mr. Clark names and to suggest he should have his mouth washed out with lye? She's said worse things about better people in her nasty, vitriolic column for years....

Corey Clark miffed by spoof of his allegations on Idol
Associated Press

NEW YORK — Bo Bice might have lost out to Carrie Underwood on the American Idol finale, but the one who's really upset is Corey Clark.

Clark, the former contestant who says he had an affair with judge Paula Abdul during the 2003 competition, didn't like the skit making light of the situation. On Wednesday night's show, TV newsman Steve Edwards presented a satirical report entitled "Bad Judgment" that purported to reveal judge Simon Cowell's "secret relationship."

The twist, though, was that the self-centered Cowell was all along in love with himself.

"We're reminded once again last night in front of millions of viewers that not only are they not taking it seriously, but they don't feel as though we should take it seriously," Clark's spokesman, Jed Wallace, told AP Radio on Thursday.

"It's simply baffling to me that Fox would actually resurrect this controversy by doing something like that," said Wallace, calling it a "slap in the face."

Clark responded similarly after Abdul made a comedic appearance on Saturday Night Live earlier this month. Afterward, he announced that he had "explicit" and "incriminating" evidence of their alleged affair.

Abdul has called the allegations "lies." Fox has said it would investigate the claims, but that Clark had not responded to requests for help in the investigation.

Clark, 23, is currently shooting a music video for the first single of his debut CD, due out in June.

Ha! Ha! I think the spoof was hilarious and the Saturday Night Live folks should be ashamed that AI out-spoofed their spoof! LOL

Mr. Clark just needs to shut up and go away. Too bad he can't seem to realize that he's only hurting himself with all this stuff.
