Going, Going, Gone

So, Paula Abdul is officially out of American Idol. Check out what she said on her twitter about it:

"With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all..Cont'd…

I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent,but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day1become an international phenomenon.

What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me

It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month

I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all"

American Idol is going to lose a lot of viewers.

I don't watch American Idol, but it's going to be a lot different without her.

Is Paula's career over?

The American Idol free-pass-to-hollywood giver, Paula Abdul, received a contract for next season of the show. The show starts shooting in three weeks.

Is this the end of her television career?

Maybe she'll put out another single off of her new album, which EVERYONE listens to!

"It does not appear that she's going to be back on 'Idol,'" says Paula's manager David Sonenberg. He's tried and tried to get some sort of deal from producers FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, but nothing!
