Paula Abdul: Just A Great Big Stupid Publicity Stunt?
You probably felt a surge of conflicting emotions when Paula Abdul revealed that she was leaving American Idol. First there was shock. Then incredulity. After all, American Idol had reportedly offered Paula Abdul $5 million a year to stay - who'd turn down a sum like that? And then came begrudging acceptance. After all, this is Paula Abdul we're talking about - a woman whose modus operandi seems to be 'how could I make the least possible amount of sense here?' So maybe Paula Abdul really is stupid enough to turn down that sort of money. Or maybe it's all a publicity stunt...

Paula Abdul Quits American Idol, Randy Now Officially Oddest Judge
That's it. American Idol has lost its heart. Well, maybe not its heart - more like its atrophied cerebellum. Anyway, look, Paula Abdul has left American Idol. That was our point. And Paula Abdul's American Idol departure is a shock - for all the threats and posturing from her management recently, we were certain that Paula was just angling for a bigger salary. But no - first Paula Abdul Twittered her resignation and then Fox confirmed it. We can't overstate what a loss this is. Without Paula Abdul around, the American Idol contestants will now be forced to sleep with each other. Disappointing.

American Idol: Simon Cowell Falls For Paula Abdul’s Self-Pity
Yesterday we said that Paula Abdul was probably going to leave American Idol. And she really was, too. She was going to leave. It wasn't just a dimwitted bluff to make American Idol pay her more money. Paula Abdul was definitely leaving American Idol. Unless the show decided to pay her a lot more money, in which case she'd consider staying. But it's not about money. Its about being treated with a basic level of human decency. And money. It's mostly about money. Anyway, Simon Cowell has revealed that he wants Paula Abdul to stay. That was probably our point.

Paula Abdul To Strop Off American Idol In A Boggle-Eyed Huff
As far as American Idol goes, Simon is the brain, Randy is the mouth and Kara is like the appendix or something. And then there's Paula Abdul. Paula Abdul is American Idol's beating heart. Admittedly it's a slightly terrifying heart that seems to be drunk a lot of the time and often shrieks to itself for no particular reason, but it's still a heart. What would American Idol be like without Paula Abdul? It'd be professional and consistent. And rubbish. But we'll see that next year, because Paula Abdul is about to quit American Idol in a pay dispute.

Kara DioGuardi Gets Married To Some Bloke On Purpose
This year's American Idol was amazing for one solitary reason - we're looking at you, Kara DioGuardi! That's right. It wasn't down to Adam Lambert's uncompromising talent, nor was it because show kick-started a giant about sexuality. It was because of Kara DioGuardi and the way she just sort of sat around not really doing anything for vast tracts of time. So clearly when Kara DioGuardi decided to get married, we knew the wedding would be infused with this same rock and roll spirit. And it was, if quietly marrying a contractor before hardly anybody counts as rock and roll now.

We're just the same as you. Since he won American Idol, we've been eagerly anticipating Adam Lambert's debut album too. Hang on, what do you mean Adam Lambert didn't win American Idol?

There's a question around Adam Lambert. A big question. A big, throbbing, veiny question. But not for much longer. Ever since he first stepped into his initial American Idol audition, speculation has gone wild over one aspect of Adam Lambert's life.
