Abdul Off Idol?

The judge's table of American Idol might soon be absent its most overzealous applauder. According to OK! Magazine, via MSNBC, the singer has "no comment" on whether she will depart Fox's still mega-hit reality show/marathon of embarrassment. But her involvement in new projects, namely her "new secret venture," Paula Abdul's RAH Cheerleading Bowl, is raising questions about her future. The cheer squad competition show will air New Year's Day on MTV. Abdul has been one of the constants of the show (along with those dreadful product-placed Coca-Cola cups) since its debut in 2002 and was in the news last week after a fan committed suicide outside her home. The eighth season premieres January 13 with a fourth judge, Kara DioGuardi.
