American Idol judge Paula Abdul, who wants to return to the popular television talent show but has received no contract proposal, is garnering a heavy and heartfelt outpouring of love, support and tweets from her fans.
And if the multitude of "#Paula" messages circulating and snowballing on the social network utility Twitter are any example, fans definitely want Idol executives to know that they want Paula back.
Noted among those lending support to the campaign with #KeepPaula messages are this past season's American Idol finalists Danny Gokey, Matt Giraud and Anoop Desai!
Abdul, obviously very emotional and appreciative that fans have jumped to her defense, has tweeted her thanks to her fans.
"I'm actually moved 2 tears upon reading the enormous amount of tweets showing me your kindness, love,&undying support," wrote Abdul. "God bless all of you!" And then she continued, "If it weren't for you, this specific time and situation would feel a whole lot worse! xoP"
One Tweeter wrote, "ok guys paula abdul is not gonna be on idol she need are help we can all help by making #keeppaula number 1 trending topic." Another wrote, "AI is nothing without Paula and Simon, and without Paula, Simon is nothing. Sorry but it's true! #KeepPaula #KeepPaula #keeppaula." And still another pleaded, "help needed pleaseee I beg of you come and help us #keeppaula #keeppaula #keeppaula #keeppaula."
On Friday her manager, David Sonenberg told the Los Angeles Times that Abdul had no contract proposal -- adding that he had contacted both 19 Entertainment and Fox and said that "Paula would love to be back on the show." He added that Fox's response was that he would hear from them, but that they had received no proposal at all.
"She's hurt," said Sonenberg. "I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful. I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven't stepped up and said what they want to do."
With Idol auditions scheduled to begin on Aug. 6th, Sonenberg said, "Very sadly, it does not appear that she's going to be back on 'Idol'.
