so what do you guys think?

My2Beauties replied: Nah I don't think so, I doubt it! But you never know with those Hollywood folks!

kimberley replied: i dunno. she claims she has some kind of neurological disease or something that makes her appear "whacked out". i wouldn't have pegged her as a druggie.

bwalkerletters replied: Yeah, that was Whitney Houston's excuse........oh no, that's right.........she said Crack is Whack haha..........

mommy2owen replied: I am not sure what to think! I doubt it though!

mammag replied: I think you can never tell these days because some people that you would never think were acting different are adicted to pain killers. It's possible. I actually think she acts more normal this season....

My2Beauties replied: Ha! I don't any of the 3 judges are normal

mammag replied:
You've got a point! Randy and his "Dawg" stuff, Paula and her "I'm just the sweetest thing", then Simon and his tight black t-shirt...

mom21kid2dogs replied: I don't know . . .she NEVER calls me anymore!!

Seriously, I hope not. She is a very talented lady.

My2Beauties replied:
You're a riot!

ammommy replied: Her eyes looked awfully glazed for having a neurological disorder

jcc64 replied: Dh and I both think she's definitely wasted on something. Been around enough wasted people to spot them a mile away.

gr33n3y3z replied: I dont care what she does as long as it doesnt effect me
But if she gets hurt from it I wont give her a pitty party
Sorry what ppl. do to themselves with drugs and booze I have not a time in the world for.

Corey Clark, a 24-year-old former contestant, is claiming that he had a “secret affair” with the 42-year-old judge from the hit show, according to the new issue of Globe magazine. Clarke reportedly is claiming that he had sex with Abdul in the guest room of her house, that she paid some of his expenses and promised to fund his career to the tune of $2 million, and that she made him vow to keep their relationship a secret. The allegations are reportedly from a book proposal that Clark has been shopping to publishers.

“[Abdul] told [Clark] she wanted to look out for him and be his ‘special friend,’” according to the Globe article. “But he claims she warned him that he couldn’t tell anyone or she’d make things very hard for him, cautioning, ‘Don’t screw me or you’ll be sorry.’” The proposal apparently also describes how Abdul once came up behind Clark, rubbed his neck, and then they began “kissing passionately and feeling each other up” as they moved to the guest bedroom.

Clark got booted from the show after it was revealed that he faced charges of assaulting his teenage sister and clashing with police while resisting arrest.

The article also says that Clark was told that another "American Idol" contestant, Justin Guarini, "bragged about having an affair with Paula." Guarini's rep denies there was any affair.

Abdul’s spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment, but the Globe article says that Abdul “disputes the allegations contained in the book proposal.”

Separately, ABC is reportedly working on a “potentially explosive exposé” on “American Idol,” possibly about “the relationship between ‘Idol’ judges and contestants,” according to Variety magazine.

This is from MTV.com

Despite what her quirky, oddball behavior on "American Idol" this season might suggest, judge Paula Abdul insists she is not on drugs.

"I'm not addicted to pills of any kind," the singer told People magazine in the issue hitting stands





Friday. Instead, Abdul said, her behavior is a result of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a rare neuropathic disorder she was diagnosed with in November that causes debilitating pain.

Abdul told the magazine she kept her condition a secret from her fellow judges but decided to come clean to the public after reading some harsh comments from fans on the show's message boards.

"One said I was on drugs. Another described me as acting spaced out. Then someone else criticized me for being animated. They wrote, 'Look at Paula dancing up there with the contestants. Only someone on drugs would do that.' It was so hideous and mean," she told the magazine. Fans also took notice of the judge's sharper tongue this season, an apparent 360 from her formerly sweet demeanor (see " 'Idol' Fans Notice Paula's Finally Tellin' It Straight Up").

The 42-year-old ex-cheerleader and choreographer, who broke big as a singer in the late '80s, said she's been battling chronic pain since first suffering a neck injury at 17. Her condition worsened after "a couple of car accidents" in the '80s and a 1992 plane crash. "The pain would be so excruciating I'd cry all the time. I knew something was wrong, but I hid it from people. No one knew," she said.

Abdul began to experience "seizurelike episodes," she said, and once awoke to find half her body paralyzed. She was taken to the hospital and given an injection that helped her body move again. Between 1998 and 2002, Abdul underwent a dozen operations to help correct an injured disc in her neck. She admits she took so much pain medication at the time that it made her "loopy," but after the singer fell into a deep depression, she ditched the pills, choosing to live with the pain, she told People.

Now, thanks to the anti-inflammatory drug Enbrel, Abdul said she's finally living a pain-free life. However, the singer has faced her share of ups and downs over the past few months, including a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge in December. She was fined $900 for the incident and put on two years' probation (see "Paula Abdul Pleads No Contest In Freeway Hit-And-Run").

Despite the hardships, the singer said she's ready to press on and revive her long-shelved music career. Fellow "Idol" judge Randy Jackson will be producing Abdul's comeback record.

"I wonder how I got through all the time. If people only knew what I've gone through with pain and pills," Abdul said. "I'm dancing for joy at the fact that not even a year ago I was in so much pain I could hardly get up. From where I was to where I am is a miracle. It's beyond a miracle."
