Paula Abdul continues to get probed
Did she or didn’t she?
FOX TV seems pretty determined to get to the bottom of this sleazy story:
Taking a page from Washington, the producers of “American Idol” and Fox TV hired an independent counsel to determine whether judge Paula Abdul had an affair with a contestant on the hit talent show.
“Any allegations against this show we take quite seriously,” Fox Entertainment President Peter Liguori said Thursday, calling the competition’s credibility “extraordinarily important to us.”
Liguori refused to say if Fox and producers Fremantle Media and 19 Television would fire Abdul if the claims by Corey Clark, an unsuccessful contestant on season two, were found to be true.
The probe’s results are due soon and will be made public, Liguori said in an appearance before the Television Critics Association.
It looks like someone’s gonna get screwed (no pun intended).
