Straight Up


Look, as annoying as Paula Abdul can be there is no way I'd continue to watch American Idol if they replaced her with Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson:

American Idol producers came close to firing judge Paula Abdul earlier this month - and wanted to offer her job to Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson. Tensions on the set of the hit TV show were running high and producers were considering firing the former singer for her erratic behavior. A source tells American magazine Us Weekly, "Paula was being very difficult. (She was) crying all the time and arriving late for meetings." The stress from the situation drove Abdul seek medical attention and she was treated for "exhaustion and dehydration." According to the source, executives from the show discussed replacing the troubled judge: "(They) liked Jessica (Simpson) a lot. And some were pushing for Britney (Spears)." Neither star ended up meeting with Idol producers and they decided to keep Abdul - for now. Abdul's representative denies the allegations: "Paula is always a joy on the set and everyone loves her. If they were looking at Britney or Jessica, that's news to me." [IMDB]


The producers are heading in the wrong direction if they wanna replace her. How about someone with actual talent this time?

Paula was unstable and crying? No way!

The woman is a wreck. They should replace her with Anna Nicole Smith.

AI just wouldn't be the same without Paula's drunken/drugged out babbles.

Agreed, it wouldn't be the same. Yet, having a judge with talent couldn't hurt either. Who would you suggest? My favorite female singer/songwriter currently is Anna Nalick, but she's way too good for AI.
