The door isn't completely slammed on Paula Abdul ...
Multiple "American Idol" insiders are telling TMZ there is a chance Paula will come back to the show. Reality -- better than a good chance.
We're told the conflict is ultimately all about money ... and buzz leading up to season 9.
But for now, "A.I." is full speed ahead -- auditions for the show are set for tomorrow ... without Abdul.

I am sure you'll see Paula right beside Simon for season 9... it's definitely a publicity stunt not only for Paula but A.I.

LAME
this show is worthless anyway, none of them can actually sing well, they do okay, but really they are just screaming idoits.
American Idol just pumps out pretty dumbasses who can kind of sing and make money off them until everyone loses interest. Who cares? Go listen to/spend some money on some good music for a change.

I disagree Yiikes! They do have SOME good singers but they almost never win! Like this last AI the only reason he won was his sad sob story! He couldn't even sing but still won! But I always like Chris Daughtry's singing voice!

Kick her greedy azz to the curb. Just another has been who thinks herself to be waaaaay more important than she is. The show should go on without her, and won't miss a beat. Hire a star who is currant and more relevant.

Good, if they can afford to pay Ryan 15m a year for reading cue cards then they can afford to give Paula more than 2m a year.
