Rumor says American Idol will replace Paula Abdul with Whitney Houston
http://www.realityblurred.com/realit...paula_replaced

There might be a new, skeletal face at the judging table for American Idol 5, if rumors are correct. If Paula Abdul goes away (because of the Corey Clark drama? to host another show?), she could be replaced by Whitney Houston. Also allegedly under consideration is Mariah Carey.

The details, from MegaStar: “According to America’s Star magazine, producers of the show are desperate to have Houston on the panel if Paula Abdul leaves to become a judge on spin-off show So You Think You Can Dance?”

andPOP notes that these reports aren’t “credible,” but runs with the idea and says “Whitney is crazy, unpredictable, and unreliable. Potential disaster? No. Best move ever.” The site runs down “Paula vs. Whitney,” comparing the two to find out “why Whitney will be a great judge.”

NO!!!

I hope this isnt true, even though Paula's comments were always off AI still wont be the same without her.

i just can't see this happening. whitney is too big of a person to be associated with american idol.

Brent88 · 07-18-2005, 11:29 PM

American Idol jumps the shark if that happens.

NOOOOOOOO!! Keep Paula!

I heard ABC wanted Paula Abdul as a way to say "We're Sorry" to host there new late night talk show which is suppose to debut sometime in early 2006 after Ted Koppel leaves ABC which also is rumored to end the long running Nightline as its ratings are not what they once were due to all the cable news channels.

But would Paula do well against Leno, Letterman, Conan, etc.???

It wouldn't bother me if they got rid of Paula. I never liked her on the show. Whitney would be entertaining to watch, she's always high or something. You never know what's gonna come out of her mouth. With Paula, she's too predictable.

Whitney on AI I can see, Paula getting a latenight talk show I can't see on any secular universe.

Miss Golden · 07-19-2005, 12:14 PM

Paula is so pretty, Whitney sure has lost her looks.

Mikado · 07-19-2005, 01:51 PM

Bad idea, WHO will male contestants sleep with when they lose now?

TripperFan · 07-19-2005, 02:17 PM

I don't believe it for a minute!! For starters, they wouldn't be able to keep Whitney sober or out of court for her husbands semi-weekly appearances long enough to be able to commit to the show!!

I've tried to watch that stupid, "Being Bobby Brown" and they actually make Britney and Kevin look GOOD!

As Brent says - they pull that and they've jump The Great White on it!

L&OFan4Eva · 07-19-2005, 02:27 PM

But it will be more entertaining to see how much of a trainwreck it turns out to be. Remember when American Juniors imploded? I laughed my butt off!
