PAULA ABDUL HAS BEEN INVITED BACK TO JUDGE AMERICAN IDOL -- IS HOPEFUL THAT SHE WILL RETURN

The American Idol television show has invited Paula Abdul back as a judge for the next season and beyond – and Abdul says that she is really hopeful that she will return, according to the Associated Press.



“I will probably be back,” she predicted. "What would Simon do without me? … I am very proud of what I brought to the show from day one and helped build an empire.”

Abdul’s contract extended through the eighth season and has not yet been renewed. But Abdul said that the show has invited her back, and she is optimistic that a deal can be struck that will keep her judging the vocal competition for the show’s duration.

There had been some speculation that Kara DioGuardi, who was a judge for the first time during the last season, might be a replacement for Abdul.

Currently Abdul is working on “Drop Dead Diva,” a role in which she plays herself as a judge.

“I was able to fit it in my schedule before heavy duty work,” Abdul explained. But she said that the pilot is “charming as can be. It has magical pixie dust spread all over it.”
