Will Paula Abdul Return as American Idol Judge?

Wendy — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:54:17 +0000

Things aren’t looking so great for Paula Abdul to return as an American Idol judge, according to her manager, anyway.

David Sonenberg, Abdul’s manager, told the LA Times, “Very sadly, it does not appear that she’s going to be back on Idol.” Oh no!

Sonenberg reports that there is no contract for Paula Abdul yet, noting, “I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful. I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do.”

Will American Idol be the same without Paula Abdul? Or is more happening behind the scenes to drum up a pay raise for Abdul?
