I have never been drunk

Paula Abdul has claimed that she has never been drunk.

In an interview on CBS Sunday Morning, the Live To Dance host denied rumours that she abuses drugs and alcohol, insisting that her odd behaviour is simply a part of her "goofy" personality.

"I've never had a drinking problem. Even though I've been in this business for quite some time," she explained.

"I've never physically been drunk in my life. I've never been drunk in my life! I don't use recreational drugs. But I am goofy."

Abdul went on to defend her intellect, challenging those who might doubt her intelligence.

"I am intelligent. I am," she said. "Having a brain, that's a concept, yes, with Paula Abdul. I have a brain."

Paula Abdul doesn't know what's Diwali

Grammy winner Paula Abdul (American Idol) did not know till November four what was Diwali, most popular festival of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains.

One follower tweeted her on November four: "Tomorrow is Indian Festival Diwali".

Abdul re-tweeted: "what's Diwali? sounds cool....."

Her followers replied: "Festival of Lights", to which she sent the re-tweet—"thank you! sending you love and *hugs* for that!"

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) on Saturday said: "Since Hollywood and other entertainment industry had worldwide reach and affected the lives of many around the globe, Hollywood/entertainment bigwigs/celebrities should become familiar with at least basics of world religions to understand the feelings of their audiences better."

Paula Julie Abdul, 48, is an American TV personality-singer-dancer-actress.

Diwali, the festival of lights, aims at dispelling the darkness and lighting up the lives and symbolizes the victory of good over evil.

Back To “American Idol?”

Her departure from “American Idol” drew mixed reviews from fans, and now Paula Abdul may be heading back to the popular talent show.

According to a report, the “Straight Up” songstress’ absence has had an adverse effect on ratings and the show’s producers are secretly wooing her back to her judge’s seat.

n inside source told press, “They want Paula back. They’re not sure if she’d be the fifth judge, but they are talking to her.”

“People tuned in to see Paula’s wacky antics and her chemistry with Simon. The show is just not as much fun to watch without her.”

Juicy Offer for Paula Abdul

Paula Abdul raised a lot of eyebrows when she turned down a $2-million-dollar offer to be a host in Dancing with the Stars.

But good things may still be coming her way. ABC has offered her $1 million dollars to bring back the classic TV talent contest Star Search. If Paula is to accept this offer, she will be not only one of the judges on the show, but also the host.

This deal may not be as juicy money wise as the one from Dancing with the Stars, but it certainly raises her from a mere judge to the main star of a program where she'd be literally "running the show".
