Maybe we'll see Paula Abdul back at the judge's table the next time 'American Idol' airs, maybe not.

The singer tells David Letterman she doesn't know what will happen come next season, Usmagazine.com reports.

"I never said [I wasn't returning]. I just said that I'm not sure," she says. "It's called, um, 'negotiating.'"

For his part, Letterman offered Abdul a little advice. "One time, I tried that, I was coming up to the end of a contract, and I said, 'I don’t know, maybe I won’t come back,' and they said, 'Fine because we’ve got another guy ready to go,'" he joked

Oohh... I've heard Simon will quit too.

I wonder who will replace Paula

They cant leave, how are we supposed to know what contestant to praise along with them next year?

I say drop Pala and keep Kara. Just don't let Kara write any more coronation songs.

I agree with you. I do hope Kara stays. Her coronation song wasn't great but she better critiques to contestants than Paula does. Paula overpraised contestants a lot of times this season.
