Are Paula's Days on 'Idol' Numbered?

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on January 31, 2007 1:37 PM


More than 30 million people watched Paula sit, stay and go on Tuesday night’s “American Idol.”

The lovable judge’s behavior had Judge Dread in deep thought. “I've got no idea what this show is anymore,” he insisted.

But on Wednesday, the hot new rumor is that Paula that could be gone for good and replaced by rocker Courtney Love.

However, “Idol” honchos quickly stopped the rumors, telling “Extra” that Paula is not going anywhere… even after a bizarre night in Birmingham.

On Wednesday night, Paula, Simon and Randy will take on Hollywood, where they’ll be joined by guest judge Olivia Newton-John.

Meanwhile, as America searches for a new “Idol,” “Extra” uncovered one contestant’s secret past!

After 25-year-old Jory Steinberg wowed the judges last week,” “Extra” has learned that at just age 16, Jory was a pro.

The brunette beauty once had a 7-album deal with music mogul David Foster’s label, but it later fell through.

Now she’s off to reignite her career in the City of Angels!

But the question remains: whose life will “Idol” change next? Tune into “American Idol” every week on FOX to find out!

Paula needs to stay to help balance the guys. The show needs someone supportive to the contestants and Courtney Love isn’t the one. She is a mess herself and everyone is complaining about Paula who does a GREAT!!!! Job.

Everybody needs to back off with Paula. Last time I checked she was free, white, and over 21 years old. If she wants to have a few drinks before she does an interview that is her right. Quit being so judgemental of her. If Paula is replaced on Idol they will lose a lot of viewers. Randy, Paul, and Simon have great chemistry together for the show. Simon is the “bad cop”, Randy is the “good cop”, and Paula is the heart of the judges she actually cares and repects the people auditioning. Keep up the good work you guys so far it has been a great season.

On Willie’s comment - On Paula out of control?? Well, Willie, it goes both ways - if Simon doesn’t like Paula hitting him all the time then he can put a stop to it anytime he wants but apparently he enjoys it just like Paula enjoys Simon poking and touching all her all the time - she to can put a stop to it also! They enjoy each other and it makes for good TV!

I just wish Paula would come clean about her weird behavior. I mean she is out of controle. Why is she always acting like she is drunk or on drugs…I’m all for making the hard day of listening to the bad contestants at least somewhat enjoyable…just fess up…you know she’s shooting back a few before she works…

Don’t even think about it — if Paula goes, I go. The show is doing just fine just the way it is. Courtney Love - Are you crazy?????
