MEOW ALERT! I have to admit that I was really surprised to read the reports that Paula Abdul was not necessarily digging the four judge panel on American Idol. The NY Post quotes her as saying: “Kara and I have known each other for years and we get along great but we tried four judges before and it doesn’t work."
I’d completely forgotten that Hot 97 DJ, Angie Martinez, was supposed to be a judge before the second season but pulled out last minute. So, what does Paula have against the arrangement? She said: "It takes up so much time for each of us to give our opinion that it slows down the pace of the show. It is the last season of my contract, and I have so many other things I want to do.” YIKES!
Of course, fourth judge, Kara DioGuardi responded to the comments. Access Hollywood quotes her as saying: “Paula has a right to her opinions, but I was disappointed by her comments, and hurt that she did not address them to me in person. I am proud of my contributions to the show, and remain excited about the rest of the season.”
Should be interesting to see if there is any tension between them tonight!
