E! News reports that the Fox network has told Paula Abdul that she won’t be returning to “X Factor” next season, and that only judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid are staying. A source said, “Simon wants to take the show in a different direction,” and “the plan is to part ways amicably”.
- Taking the business “in a new direction” is today’s terminology for “We’re kicking your butt out the door”.
- He actually fired her a week ago, but she’d been drinking and just keeps showing up for rehearsals.
- In keeping with the spirit of the show, shouldn’t they let people call to vote her in or off?
