Paula Abdul used her official Twitter to tell her fans she’s leaving American Idol.
Abdul announced that she’s decided to leave the show. She tweeted (with added punctuation): With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to [American Idol]. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all…I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day1become an international phenomenon.

This news is no surprise to people who have been following reports of her replacement by Jennifer Lopez to Cheryl Cole and everyone in between. Also, Abdul’s own rep had been nom nom noming at the bit over the fact the star had not received a proposal for a new contract even though auditions are scheduled to begin August 6.
It’s so sad that we are going to have to go through the next season of American Idol sans Abdul’s tears and questionable swaying back an forth. I has a sads.
something doesn’t smell right here. she’s had issues with her contract before, but this new agent seems to be the one behind this. i don’t think paula wants to leave the thing that has kept her out of either being on some reality show or headed to rehab…although she does have issues with pills making her loopy…or is that normal? lol
I didn’t know about her old contract issues. In any case, I shall miss her loopy ways on this show. Watching her episodes is one of my fave parts of the whole thing.
it just won’t be the same…btw, thanks for the comment on my movie blog
