The Nightly News: Kara Wants Paula Back; Sneak Peek of Rihanna’s Newest Video…

Paula Abdul is planning to bow out of American Idol!
According to a source close to the reality judge, Paula, 45, who has been with the show for seven years, is developing new TV projects and is hoping to “transition” out of the Fox hit.
With her fellow judge, Randy Jackson, telling friends that American Idol has lost its magic, another Paula insider explains, “She knows that every season could be her last. Now she’s got a new secret venture that she’s really excited about.”
And with the addition of fourth judge Kara DioGaurdi for the upcoming eighth season, the judges desk won’t even be left short-staffed if Paula leaves.
Could that be a co-incidence, or were Fox bosses expecting the Opposites Attract singer to vacate her chair when they signed up her former roomate, Kara?
The new season of Idol is set to begin Jan. 13.
Abdul: Cowell Can’t Turn My Friend Against Me

According to American Idol judge Simon Cowell, he gets bored when everyone gets along with each other.
So when OK! talked to the devious Brit a couple weeks ago, he admitted that he was already trying to stir up a feud between Paula Abdul and her former roommate, the brand new AI panel member, Kara DioGaurdi.
But when we saw Paula the other day, she told us that Simon’s just going to have to find another way to amuse himself — because it’s not going to happen.
"That’s just Simon trying to conjure up his shenanigans," said the Opposites Attract star, who first met Kara in the 90s.
So he’s not going to have you at each others’ necks?
"No. Kara and I are good friends. We’ve been hysterically laughing over all this stuff we did as roommates," said Paula, of the time they spent together since filming for the eighth season began.
"I started the whole evolution of what her career’s become, because I found her on the streets of New York.
"She was an aspiring song writer, and I said, ‘are you good?’, and she said, ‘yeah’ and I heard her demos and I convinced her to quit her job and move to LA in my house."
So what have you been reminiscing about?
"Oh, embarrassing things. Girl stuff. We got into a lot of fun trouble back then," she demurred.
"Honestly," Paula insists, "in that whole time, we never had one argument."
But the question is, will it stay that way, or will Simon have his way in the end?
