Abdul Blames Odd TV Interview on Glitch - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

American Idol" judge Paula Abdul blamed an interview with a Seattle Fox affiliate in which she appeared disoriented or even intoxicated on a lack of sleep and technical problems.

Abdul, in Las Vegas this weekend to accept a "Woman of the Year" award at a Nevada Ballet Theatre fundraiser, answered questions about the interview, which has made the rounds on YouTube.com and prompted speculation that she was drunk or on drugs.

Abdul told reporters she woke up that day at 3:45 a.m. after going to sleep just before midnight. Technical foul-ups meant she heard questions from one station on an "electronic press tour" but her answers were directed to a different one, she said.

The interviews in question were the last two of 30 she did back to back, she said.

"That's very disorienting in itself because you can't see who you are talking to," she said, according to a blog by Robin Leach on AOL. "It wound up that San Francisco kept asking questions because they couldn't hear me but my answers were actually coming out in Seattle."

"Fatigue and exhaustion just added to the whole thing looking so disoriented," she said. "I just can't explain it, but for me, no excuses and no apologies."

"No alcohol and no drugs, absolutely no!"
