I won't be home tonight at all until very late so I will miss the results show AND this "expose". I think I will survive...

So, now there is an incriminating voice mail out there from Paula to Corey Clark in which she sounds desperate and paranoid about the press she is getting. Oy.

And this:

Paula Abdul had transatlantic hits in the late 1980s and early 1990s American Idol judge Paula Abdul had an affair with singer Corey Clark while he was a contestant on the talent show, he has claimed in a US TV interview. Clark, 24, told ABC's Primetime Live that Abdul, 42, secretly coached him before he was ejected from the 2003 series for hiding an arrest record.

Idol network Fox said it would "look into any evidence of improper conduct".

Last week Abdul said Clark was "an admitted liar and opportunist who engages in unlawful activities".

'Better song choices'

Clark said Abdul gave him money for clothes and a haircut before he was disqualified from the show in April 2003.

"So she was like, 'You got to have better song choices, and I want to help you do that. I want to look after you like - like I'm your mom,'" Clark said.

"And then she was like, 'Well, more like your sister,'" he added. "And then she was like, 'Well, maybe more like your special friend.' And then she was like, 'Well, maybe more like your anal sex slave.'"

Fox said Clark never notified the network or producers of any concerns about the show despite "multiple opportunities" to do so.

In a statement on the American Idol website it added that the public should "carefully examine Mr Clark's motives, given his apparent desire to exploit his prior involvement with American Idol for profit and publicity".

Before becoming an American Idol judge, Abdul was a pop star with transatlantic hits including Straight Up, Opposites Attract and Rush Rush. She also co-wrote Kylie Minogue's 2000 hit Spinning Around.

Clark was ejected from the talent show in 2003 for failing to disclose that he faced criminal charges of battery and resisting arrest after a fight with his sister. He pleaded no contest to the charges.

Now in its fourth season, American Idol attracts an average of nearly 28 million viewers for its weekly broadcast. Its latest winner will be chosen and awarded a record contract on 25 May.

"anal sex slave"? Really Paula, you should be more careful what you say!

So forget the argument that she was single, he was single. She was a JUDGE!! You can't sleep with the contestants! This whole show has no credibility in light of this and the whole Votefortheworst.com.

Granted, there is no solid proof that this affair happened. But the burden of proof IS on her and he knows way too many details about her home and rooms within her house (decorations, placement of objects) that even if she DIDN'T sleep with him, she allowed him to be close enough to know information about her. Her credibility is toast. Big mistake.

I say fire Paula and bring back either Mark McGrath or Quentin Tarantino (best judges ever) to replace her.

I'm not watching next year unless they start allowing voters to vote the worst OFF the show every week OR have Sugar Ray as a judge. The eye candy alone would at least ease the pain of watching this show week in and week out.
