Paula Abdul twits her departure from American Idol.
The 47-year old television personality has been a regular judge for eight years on the hit reality singing competition, alongside Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson, and newcomer judge Kara DioGuardi who joined the show last season.
On her twitter account, Paula Abdul writes in 5 updates that say:
"With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon. What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me. It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month. I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all."
Paula Abdul had her initial period of success in the late 1980s to early 1990s from being a cheerleader of NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, to being a sought-after music video choreographer, to becoming a Pop-R&B singer. She won a Grammy award for "Best Music Video - Short Form" for "Opposites Attract." She also received the "Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography" twice.
Paula Abdul suffered professional and personal setbacks later, including her two failed marriages and substance abuse allegations. She found renewed fame and success after joining the American Idol in 2002.
Throughout the seasons of American Idol, Paula Abdul has always been known for her "erratic behavior" that includes slurred monologues and swaying in her chair during interviews - a behavior that the Idol judge has blamed on a medical condition called RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.)
On the other hand, it's this "weird" behavior of Paula Abdul that the American Idol fans have come to accept and love. And now that the singer-choreographer is talking about peacing out from the show, some believe that the show will never be the same again. One blogger reacts, "Damn! Will this show even be worth watching anymore? No more vicodin-induced comas, or slurred monologues. So boring."
Paula Abdul's departure from American Idol has steamed out from not yet receiving any contract offer to return to the series. Both Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson have already made deals while Kara DioGuardi has also expressed interest in returning. Ryan Seacrest has also signed a contract to continue as host of the show.
Paula Abdul's manager once commented on her contract status with the reality show to The Los Angeles Times: "Very sadly, it does not appear that she's going to be back on Idol. I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that (American Idol production companies Fremantle and 19 Entertainment) haven't stepped up and said what they want to do."
Amidst Paula Abdul's twittering and goodbye-American Idol drama, no official announcement from the American Idol production companies has been made yet.
