Paula Abdul's Suicide Pact

Posted Nov 15th 2008 1:00PM by TMZ Staff

To say Paula Abdul had a bad week would be an understatement.

Precautionary measures were taken while "American Idol" filmed at the Kodak Theater this week. All contestants, families and staff were strictly told not to mention anything about the suicide that occurred in front of Paula's home saying, "It would put Paula in a bad mood and not be good for camera."

TMZ sources close to the production say no one tested the new Paula rule and the tapings went without incident.

The rule is said to continue throughout the season. Calls to Paula Abdul's reps have yet to be returned.

16. Paula needs to stop doing drugs, she is an embarassment to herself and the show. BTW what qualifies her to be a judge? If you look at some of her old videos, she was the first female Nilli Vanilli lir synch douc&

17. Paula needs to get out of show business. I never noticed, that she was happy most of the time on camera, anyway. Look at the audition video of the sucide victim with American Idol. Obviously, the girl has some issues. Paula had a frown during the audition, and Simon had the incrediable critical remarks about the braces on the girls' teeth. Simson's remarks were dispassionate and disgusting about the girls' braces, and talent. A person with issues cannot take the harshness of Simon. I am hoping for the day, that the American People will get tired of this series, and Simon can return to London. Paula showed no compassion during the audition; maybe it is time for her to retire.
