Sources very close to Paula Abdul are saying that the beloved judge from American Idol is working to find her way back to the reality TV talent show. The insider says to not count Paula out just yet as she is reportedly already in talks about having her return and trying to come to a deal that makes sense. They are insisting though that her departure from the show wasn’t a publicity stunt but it was definitely a negotiating tactic. With Victoria Beckham’s guest judging at the Denver auditions being a dud, they’re better off with paying Paula what she wants than losing more money over other loser judges.
Paula Abdul has denied battling an addiction to painkillers.
The American Idol judge was recently quoted in Ladies’ Home Journal as saying that she “wanted to kill” herself over the 12-year addiction.
The magazine also quoted Abdul as saying that she kicked the pills during a stay at a luxurious spa in California last November.
Now Abdul is claiming that the magazine misquoted her.
“It was very stressful for me to hear that and be quoted saying something I never said,” Abdul told Detroit’s Mojo In The Morning radio show.
“I’ve never checked into a rehab clinic. I’ve never been addicted to or abused drugs, and I’ve never been addicted to or abused alcohol.”
Abdul confirmed that she had been to the health spa “having fun, doing spa stuff”.
The magazine says it stands by its story “100 per cent”.

Here is Paula’s pre-taped performance for the Superbowl. Apparently she wasn’t ‘emotionally’ ready to do a performance of this high pressure live.
She did a really good job, but the whole lipsynching thing is silly. If she pretaped you think she would have at least sort of ‘belted it out’ or even recorded a ‘different’ version for the concert.
Anyway check it out, what are your thoughts?
