Abdul Out?

'American Idol,' Ready for An Unflattering Close-Up?

This article speculates that tomorrow night's ABC News special about Idol has the goods on an inappropriate relationship between Paula Abdul and second-season contestant Corey Clark and that this might bring Paula down. Surely there are those among us who would be happy to see her replaced with a judge willing to, well, judge the contestants, but do we really want to see the woman who brought us "Forever your Girl" and "Straight Up" dragged through the mud? I, for one, don't think I do.

Of course, the real scandal of the week will come when Idol voters keep Scott around yet again and eliminate Bo instead. If Scott lasts much longer, I'm looking forward to watching Simon Cowell get up out of his chair to strangle Savol on stage before an audience of millions. Imagine a final four of Carrie, Vonzell, Anthony, and Scott coming from such a talented top twelve and you'll immediately see that a sensible jury would show mercy on Cowell.
