    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...

    Paula Abdul maintains that she’s never been drunk, but she does admit that she can “get weird.” In the June issue of Ladies’ Home Journal, it’s revealed that Abdul had a condition, reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, that required aggressive pain management. She wore a patch that delivered a pain medication 80 times more potent than morphine, took a nerve medication, and sometimes took a muscle relaxer, according to LHJ. It was this combination that Abdul said caused her to “get weird,” at times. It’s been confirmed that all four “American Idol” judges will be back next year, but LHJ reports...

She'll leave the judging to others to sing "I'm Just Here for the Music" -- the first single off an album due out in the fall. Since she's preparing to return to the music scene, the timing seemed right to bare her soul over the drug habit that she's recently kicked.For the first time, Abdul reveals how hard it was for her to detox from a 12-year-long painkiller addiction. "I could have killed myself," she tells this month's issue of Ladies' Home Journal. The withdrawal...

    American Idol judge Paula Abdul has admitted she was fooled by Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy character Bruno, as part of his forthcoming movie. Appearing on US radio's Johnjay and Rich Show, the star said she was told she had won an award in Germany and was interviewed by Baron Cohen's alter ego. Abdul said she had no idea it had been a set up until weeks later. "At two in the morning, I woke up in a sweat and I went: 'Oh my God' And I'm dying, because you don't expect it."

    In these last days, the Bible says it will be a time of mass hybridization and the mixture and corruption of human DNA by fallen angels, also known as "Aliens." The government is and has been, conditioning the existence of aliens through Hollywood, science fiction, cartoons, and other sources. However, they are not telling you the whole truth. These Aliens are not ascended masters, or enlightened ones, or beings from galaxies millions of miles away, nor are they our forefathers or original creators. They are fallen angels who were kicked out of heaven for their rebellion against the headship...

    When last we left “American Idol” loopy lady Paula Abdul, she was blaming her fellow judge Simon Cowell for whispering silly things in her ear that made her appear dazed and confused. Apparently, the “American Idol” producers weren’t buying her explanation and were this close to firing the diminutive ditz earlier this month. “Paula was being very difficult,” an “Idol” source told US Weekly. “(She was) crying all the time and arriving late for meetings.” The set spy reported the show’s execs discussed dumping Abdul and replacing her with a fresher face. “(They) liked Jessica (Simpson) a lot,” the spy...

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Barry Bonds used a vast array of performance-enhancing drugs, including steroids and human growth hormone, for at least five seasons beginning in 1998, according to a book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters. An excerpt of "Game of Shadows," which provides details of the San Francisco slugger's extensive doping program, appears in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated. Bonds, who testified before a San Francisco federal grand jury looking into steroid use by top athletes, repeatedly has denied using performance-enhancing drugs. Phone messages left by The Associated Press seeking comment from his attorney and...

    New York -- Bo Bice might have lost out to Carrie Underwood on the "American Idol" finale, but the one who's really upset is Corey Clark. Clark, the former contestant who says he had an affair with judge Paula Abdul during the 2003 competition, didn't like the skit making light of the situation. On Wednesday night's show, TV newsman Steve Edwards presented a satirical report entitled "Bad Judgment" that purported to reveal judge Simon Cowell's "secret relationship." The twist, though, was that the self-centered Cowell was all along in love with himself. "We're reminded once again last night in front...
