Has singer Paula Abdul been judging more than the singing talents of the hopefuls on 'American Idol'?
Corey Clark, a 24 year old former contestant, is claiming that he had 'a secret affair' with the 42 year old judge from the hit show, according to the new issue of the Globe Magazine.
Clark is reportedly claiming that he had sex with Abdul in the guest room of her house, that she paid some of his expenses and promised to fund his career to the tune of 2 million, and vow to keep their relationship a secret.
The allegiations are reportedly from a book proposal that Clark has been shopping to publishers.
Abdul told him that she wanted to look out for him and be his special friend, but he claims that she warned him he couldn't tell anyone or she'd make things very hard for him cautioning, 'Don't screw me or you'll be sorry.'
Clark got booted from the show after it was revealed that he faced charges of assaulting his teenage sister and clashing with police while resisting arrest.
The article also says that Clark was told that another 'American Idol' contestant, Justin Guarini bragged about having an affair with Paula.
Separately, ABC is reportedly working on 'a potentially explosive expose about American Idol,' [for May sweeps] possibly about 'the relationship between Idol judges and contestants' reports Variety Magazine.

" Is anyone suprized? "
No but I am some what surprised how every news channel is fixated on this silly story. I turned off the early morning news shows this morning. What trivial tabloid tripe. The news media is really hurting for some real news. Paula and the contestant are two consenting adults. I can't believe the producers security guards didn't have a better scope on the one that slipped through the cracks. If the news media keeps hammering away at this one they'll just make Paula out to be a modern day Robin Hood like hero.
