Say it isn’t so? American Idol without Paula Abdul? I can’t imagine it. What is Fox thinking? They went to great lengths to keep Simon and Ryan, but what about Paula? Or is it her new manager that caused the breakup?

No mater what, Paula will be sorely missed on the show. In fact I may have to rethink committing so much time to watching American Idol when the primary reason I watched was because of the interaction between Simon and Paula (and yeah because of cutie Seacrest too).
