Paula Abdul has told the Associated Press that she has been invited to back to American Idol for "the duration of the show, however long it lasts," but a new contract to stay on as an Idol judge has not yet been finalized. Her current deal expired in May after the end of the eighth season. "[Idol]'s something that I'll always would want to be a part of," she said.

LITTLE MONKEY BOY CLIMBING
its a hilarious video!!!!
It would be so strange to watch this show without Paula. I like watching her fights with Simon. They’re funny.
Huh?? “[Idol]‘s something that I’ll always would want to be a part of”. Please English, woman.
Woops, that’s ironic. I meant to say, “Speak English, woman.”

As crazy as Paula is, I can’t imagine Idol without her. Plus, I’d rather have Paula than Kara, if it comes down to one or the other.
The show would not be the same without Paula. Or any of the judges for that matter.
Kinda unrelated, but this is a great video of interviews with season 9 american idol rejects in california. Funny stuff.

Paula, YES. Kara, NO!
Keep Paula! Ditch Kara!
I hope they don’t come to terms and that Paula is gone – I’ve had enough of her on this show. And even though people don’t seem to like Kara at least she knows what she is talking about. Keep Kara and ditch Paula and just be done with her.
Paula is a little spacy, doesn’t make much sense, but it wouldn’t be the same w/out her. Kara needs to go – the original three are what most of us are used to, and Kara seems too desperate, talks too much, and takes up too much time and space. Bye Kara.
Kara should stay. Paula’s comments don’t make sense most of the times. Anyway, I guess it doesn’t matter cuz I would not be watching this show next season.
I agree! Ditch Kara, Keep Paula!
Please get rid of that power tool Randy. Paula may be inchorent and intoxicated, but she is fun. Randy is just a power tool, dawg.
get ride of kara please …she is boring !!!
paula on the other hand is funny unpredictable and knows how to make good TV !! yes she is a little crazy sometimes but that is what makes her so unic !!
PAULA ABDUL ON AMERICAN IDOL 9 !!!
