Paul Abdul may not return to "American Idol" for a ninth season, her manager claimed in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times.

"She's not a happy camper as a result of what's going on. She's hurt. She's angry," David Sonenberg, the "Idol" judge's manager, told the newspaper on Friday.

David, who said that he became Paula's manager just weeks ago, at the end of June, added that he has yet to receive a proposal for a new contract for Paula.

"I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful," he said. "I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven't stepped up and said what they want to do."

The result of the stalled negotiations, David said, is that Paula is unlikely to be back on the show she's judged for eight previous seasons.

Seacrest got a big contract, but no new contract for Paula.

She can always fallback on her dancing and music.

[PghBaldy]

I liked it better without that Gird woman.

[AU72]

I thought Paula Abdul peaked with that silly cartoon music video over 20 years ago.

[NormsRevenge]

I hear ya, heck bring in snoop dawg or dionne warwick as a replacement for both. I only watch it cuz wifey does... but that’s another story.

Is it possible for an audience to be sorry for the judges reactions sometimes? oh man. good thing they got metal detectors at the studios. ;-)

So if Paula quits
to go back to Alaska,
they'll need a new judge...

[NormsRevenge]

wow, that’s like 2 decades ago.. heck, we were still newlyweds. it’s hazy now.

[nufsed]

The first auditions for 2010 are next month. She’ll be there.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Straight up now tell me...

[NormsRevenge]

I hope they spring for a driver for her.

[Texas Eagle]

Maybe she needs a drink.

I think unnecessarily hurtful," he said. "I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven't stepped up and said what they want to do."

...why do I picture flailing wrist and toxic spittle flying about?

Opposites Attract.

[NormsRevenge]

Reports are she has made pigeonfeed compared to and as the foil for the gang and Simon especially. I guess she felt she had to make a statement. not sure how royalties willm pay down the road but idol won’t go on forever so.. get while the gettin’ good.

[NormsRevenge]

Thx! .. sniff

>She can always fallback on her dancing and music

"Opposites Attract" was cool. She should only work with dancing cartoons . . .

[charmedone]

I’ve never seen the show, have no desire to see the show and if I ever saw that Brit SOB that seems to dominate the show and revel in telling people to, essentially, get lost, I would just have to smack him in the mouth.

[nufsed]

They go around the country and stay in hotels. I'm sure she's got the full entourage or else she'd wind up in an alley some where in Atlanta.

At home in LA she's just another driver.

[taxtruth]

She’s cute.But Paula thinks the world revolves around her like o does also.Not true.

[library user]

Not guilty. Is it because she's insane that she's never really talked about as being that hot?
