“American Idol” to replace Paula Abdul with Sharon Osbourne

Is judge Simon Cowell trying to replace Paula Abdul? Rumors have spread that, due to prompting by Simon Cowell, American Idol producers are trying to get Paula Abdul out of the picture.

 

Reports say that they are tired of her bizarre behavior on the show and are planning to replace Abdul with Sharon Osbourne. Abdul recently sparked rumors she was drinking or on drugs after she appeared on interviews talking incoherently and looking rough. Producers reportedly think Abdul is hurting the show with her unprofessional appearances.

 

“They’re looking to give “Idol” a face-lift, and they think Sharon - who’s rated highly with viewers on Simon’s other show, ‘America’s Got Talent’ - will bring a fresher look.  And they’re sure Sharon will play will off Simon’s sharp tongue,” a source said.

 

Abdul allegedly promised she would clean up her behavior but evidence of that has yet to be seen. Producers are reportedly ready to make the deal with Osbourne. No plans have been finalized yet.
