Well, it’s official! Paula Abdul says her “American Idol” days are over!
Late last night, American Idol judge broke the news to fans via her Twitter page. Over five separate Twitter posts, Paula wrote, “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 …being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become 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.”
Paul quitting Idol isn’t really shocking, as there has been rumors floating around Hollywood regarding the singer’s future on the show. Last month, Paula’s reps hinted that she might not return to the show, as they were unable to reach an agreement with Idol producers.
Naturally, the media’s always looking for a scandal to report. Could the real reason Paula’s leaving the show be a result of Kara DioGuardi? Earlier this week, it was reported that judge Kara DioGuardi, who joined the show last season, had signed on to return to the show.
The ninth season of “American Idol” is slated to begin next January on Fox.
