Paula Abdul: Still Without a Contract Plus Something Big May Happen on Idol Tonight.
ETA: I almost forgot! Paula Abdul choreographed and worked with the kids on tonight’s big Disco group number!
John Jay and Rich, the morning DJs at KISS Phoenix reported on their radio show this morning that something “big” is going to happen on tonight’s results show–something that’s never happened before.
The DJs are in Los Angeles–broadcasting from Ryan Seacrest’s studios–to attend this week’s Idol shows.
Last night, John Jay sent off a few overheated tweets hinting at something major going on in Paula’s dressing.
This morning they elaborated a bit.
While hanging out in Paula Abdul’s dressing room with her lawyer and agent, the DJs overheard discussions that spoke of Paula’s future as if leaving Idol next year was a done deal.
“They were talking as if she were done with American Idol,” said John Jay.
According to reports, Paula’s contract is up this year, and she still has not negotiated a new one. Paula told Cynthia McFadden in a Nightline interview set to air Thursday, “It’s not about replacing anybody. It’s about possibly moving on.”
They also had the opportunity to hang out with the Idols on set. There, they learned the details of what will go down tonight. They were told NOT to discuss it on radio this morning.

I still think all this talk from Paula about leaving is posturing. If she leaves Idol what’s she gonna do? Lame reality shows for MTV? I say she’s angling for more money.

Even hookers would turn down the ShamWow guy!!
:lol_tb:
Didn’t the audience throw shows at Adam on one of the Youtube videos? Lol, they should totally do that on Idol. What if someone was wearing stilettos? Ouch!
The very first time (this year) that Simon spoke with someone eluding to the possibility of leaving AI….wasn’t he quoted as mentioning he was working on a new show for the US? If so, perhaps he wants Paula to be there for him in some capacity?
Here’s my prediction: After a group sing to Sister Sledge’s We Are Family, a suprising bottom three is announced to the shock and awe of everyone. Much ado is made about America’s big mistake. The producers in a flash of genius will have instructed Ryan to then pointedly look at Anoop, who has avoided the death chair this week, and ask if any of singers who are declared safe would willingly trade places with anyone in the B3 to save a friend who deserves to stay. This is called the Contestant’s Save, which would milk the whole happy love vibe of last week’s judge’s save and turn it into something icky…because that’s how AI rolls.
Either that, or nostrem’s suggestion with the whole gator pit thing, only substitute sharks with laser beams attatched to their heads for gators.
They did that on Rockstar….there was a choice of three songs per person and you voted online to pick one. The problem was of course fanbases sabotaging the singers they viewed as the biggest threat to their fave.
LOL Only problem: Adam would step up to trade places and Ken would slap him down and say, “Not you, Idiot! For godsakes, we need you for ratings!”
maybe paula will dance for her life on idol. if she pleases the producers, she gets to stay for another season.
Hee!
In response, Adam sings a faneffingtastic version of “I’m going home” from Rocky Horror, tosses the mic, and walks off the stage. He walks through the crowd to the sound of thunderous applause, dragging Ken Warwick behind him, who is hanging to Adam’s leg screaming, “Nooooo! What have I done!?”
Having listened to the radio show, I think it’s really not that big a deal. THey said they gave a big hint. They had asked Paula when they could start playing her song.
I think Paula will release her new single near the end of the show and the Idols will be dancing to it, possibly with some SYTYCD people.
After David Archuleta finishes performing his new single “Touch My Hand”, Ryan will announce that David’s followup singles in order will be “My Hands”, “Crush My Hands”, and “A Little Too Not Over My Hands”.
Then Jeff Archuleta will rush on to the stage, grab the microphone away from David, and announce that the recounts have finally been completed, and Cook still won. BUT… it was the wrong Cook!
Kristy Lee Cook will then take stage riding prone on a horse with the words “for-sale” branded into its hindquarters. She then will perform a hoedown-type version of the Magic Rainbow that she prefaces by announcing that it was inspired by her arrangement of “Eight Days A Week” from Beatles Night last year.
The other Season 7 finalists sit in the audience. Michael Johns mumbles something about American audiences and vote-splitting, Carly Smithson mumbles something about how “that country bitch already sold more albums than me”, and Syesha Mercado mumbles something about the Civil Rights Movement, women’s suffrage, and the Holocaust.
Meanwhile David Archuleta makes nervous, giggly small-talk with Susan Boyle, Brooke White cries, David Hernandez pole-dances, Amanda Overmeyer swigs from her flask, Jason Castro blinks repeatedly before falling asleep, and Ramiele Malubay doesn’t do anything because she’s boring. And David Cook leans back in his seat and looks happier than he’s ever looked in his entire life.
Back onstage, Danny Gokey walks over to congratuate Kristy after she finishes singing, shows her a picture of Sophia, points to the sky, and asks for her number. Then, the trapdoors in the stage open up and, you know… the part about the crocodiles I mentioned upthread….
LMAO sunchick and noctem! Keep it coming…
Don’t two go home tonight?
We call in for our favorite judge and one with the lowest count gets fired. That I would love.
No, no, no. I have already had enough of their hawking her jewelry.
LOL this year, that would be a great idea. Lil, Matt, Danny, and Anoop, take your pick. In fact, send 4 home.
The producers pluck a random poster from MJ’s Big Blog to fill in for Ryan tonight. Ken Warwick closes his eyes and points to a name: noctem seizure. As fortune would have it, Noctem is available for the task! After brief negotiations over whether the show will allow live crocodiles or not (sorry you lost that one, Noctem), the next voice to announce “This is American Idol!” is one you will not recognize. America, what have you done?!?
Like a new “Green” car driven onto the idol stage.
I’m lovin’ these posts!!!!!!!!!! :lol_tb:
Threads like these are on of the bestest things about mj’s!!!!
