Scandal! World news!

Who cares about trivial things like North Korean nuclear missiles or border invasions from the south.

This is critical! Congressional investigation is warranted!

This expose will get a lot of eyeballs. That's the name of the game.

Look on the bright side. At least he was 22 and still not in grade school.

Much ado about nothing.

Just create more viewers for Idol.

"Idol" ping...

Even if this were true, what's the problem? Contestants are free to solicit advice from anyone. And the judges, once you get to the finals, don't control the results, the audience does. The judges' comments can affect voting, but 1) if Paula has a favorite, she's going to plug him regardless of any outside coaching, and 2) nobody listens to Paula anyway.

Just hope they don;t put Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton as her replacement, if this happens.

Who cares about that stupid show, I liked it better when it was called "The Gong Show."

I don't think anything will come of this. Just ads to the viewing audience. No way they bounce Paula. Suicide.

I've never watched the show.

That being said, I do know that viewers vote for the contestants.

Why do they need Paula and the other two guys if the viewers are the voters? All they really need is somebody in the Ed Sullivan mold. Introduce the act and get the hell out of the way.

Well, it looks like this is going to be a very interesting week. If the ABC report is as “explosive” as they claim, and if it confirms at least some of the allegations against Paula, then her judging days might be numbered. We'll see.

(Thanks for the pings, everybody)

If Paula is to be "bounced" I think America should vote on it! :-D

The 22 year old didn't win which makes Paula a liability, not an asset.

Paula is a worthless commentator. I think she's on the show only because she makes Randy appear intelligent.

the amazing thing is that anyone believes these shows aren't completely rigged to begin with.

Did Paula Abdul give permission to record the telephone call?
