Paula Abdul likely won’t return to American Idol, manager says
Will Paula Abdul return to American Idol during the 2010 season? Probably not, according to her manager David Sonenber.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times Newspaper, Sonenber said “Very sadly, it does not appear that she’s going to be back on ‘Idol.”
“I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful,” he said of the contract holdup. “I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do.”
“She’s not a happy camper as a result of what’s going on. She’s hurt. She’s angry,” Sonenberg said. “I think at this point we’re going to be considering everything, including some kind of a competition show. She has tremendous ideas for a whole variety of shows.”
During the 2009 season, producers unexpectely added a fourth judge Kara DioGuardi to the show. I’ve always been suspicious about why they wanted a fourth a judge, and I always felt it was because they wanted to push Paula out the door.
It would be a huge mistake on their part if they don’ t renew Paula’s contract. Although some viewers think she’s annoying, she does make the show interesting.
