The American Idol judge was incoherent on last nights live telecast, bumbling lines and giggling like shed just emerged from a Grateful Dead concert, leaving audiences, contestants and host Ryan Seacrest more confused than a homophobic Clay Aiken fan.When Seacrest asked Abdul why two contestants received the fewest votes, she mumbled, head in hands, Simon said because one of them ate pizza and the other ate salad.
A shocked Seacrest responded, You guys realize were on the air?
Abdul got it together for a few minutes, but during the second round of cuts, she was back to her odd behavior.
What did you tell me Simon? she said, slurring her words. What did you tell me? Simon gave me advice and said on The X Factor he always refers to a fortune cookie and says the moth who finds the melon - (laugher) - finds the corn flake always finds the melon and one of you didnt pick the right fortune.

She was also involved in some kind of homeland security flap at the Las Vegas airport. Here's the link: ReviewJournal article
Paula Abdul, a judge on "American Idol," won't get high marks from her fellow airline passengers, and she might be hearing from Homeland Security officials.According to an Abdul spokesman, the former pop singer and dancer was running late Thursday, trying to make her Southwest flight at McCarran International Airport, when a group of fans mobbed her.
A Southwest representative at the scene whisked her through a back access, bypassing security, and onto the Los Angeles-bound plane.
However, upon arrival in Burbank, it was announced that security had been breached, and no one could leave the plane until the re-screening process was completed.
Abdul, whose six No. 1 hits included "Rush, Rush," was trying to make the flight so she wouldn't miss Thursday's live "Idol" show.
A Southwest representative who was asked to respond did not return a call by deadline.
In January, two employees at the Silverton accused Abdul of having them fired from their graveyard-shift jobs because she says they caused her to miss a flight.
