Paula Abdul was told in no uncertain terms before her "Letterman" appearance last night to put a lid on her feud with "A.I." producers.
Our sources say Paula is "extremely pissed" at "A.I." producers for putting Paula Goodspeed on the show, despite the fact Goodspeed had been harassing Abdul for years -- mad enough to make a stink on Dave's show.
But before tape rolled, we're told "A.I." suits got in touch with Abdul and demanded that she not stoke the coals. "A.I." made it clear -- they were paying Paula's bills so she needed to play by their rules.
Ultimately, Paula played ball, though somewhat insincerely. But it may have paid off. We've learned "A.I." has already opened negotiations with Abdul for Season 9 -- the talks have gone on for more than a month. That goes against the prevailing view that the fourth judge who debuts in the upcoming Season 8 will replace her.
Stay tuned.

David Letterman and Paula Abdul have one thing in common -- creepy stalkers -- and when she was on his show last night, he had only one piece of advice: "Sue these baboons!"
Letterman got pretty serious, telling Paula that Fox and Idol producers "exposed her to great risk," and if she wanted to, Abdul could pull off the "biggest lawsuit in the history of television" -- but all Paula wanted to do was see a monkey sneeze.

Paula Abdul dropped bomb after bomb on the people behind "American Idol" -- blaming them for exposing her home address to people like suicidal fan Paula Goodspeed, who Abdul claims wrote morbid letters insisting the judge needed to die.
The verbal attack went down last night on Barbara Walters' Sirius radio show.
More to come ...

Paula Abdul is pissed off -- and lashing out at "American Idol," claiming she begged "Idol" producers to keep suicidal fan Paula Goodspeed off the show -- but even after the desperate warning, the dangerously obsessed fan made the show anyway.
Just moments ago on "The View," Babwa went into detail about an interview she did with Paula on her Sirius radio show last night, where Abdul also claimed she's the victim of a three-way conspiracy to ruin her career -- and the perps are bigwigs at Fox, "Idol" and Simon Cowell himself.
"Idol" already added a fourth judge to the new season -- which, in Barbara's opinion, will be Paula's last.

Prescription drugs may have been what killed the obsessed fan who allegedly overdosed near Paula Abdul's house last week.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ "multiple prescription bottles" were found by Paula Goodspeed's body in her car. No word yet what type of drugs the prescriptions were for.
As we reported earlier, Goodspeed had overdosed in the exact same area around a year ago.

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.

A self-proclaimed "Paula Abdul stalker" who was featured on season 7 of "American Idol" is furious with TMZ after a story we posted scared his friends and family into believing he was the one cops found in front of Abdul's house.
Paul Marturano, who sang that skin-crawling stalker anthem on last season's "Idol," wrote us a scathing email yesterday saying: "THANKS ALOT ... I have been getting endless emails and calls from friends and family memebers [sic] who saw your headline about the Paula Abdul Fan Death ... My mother cried thinking I was dead."
Creepy McCreeperton even signed the email "Paula Abdul's Stalker from American Idol Season 7."

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Paula Goodspeed, who died of a possible drug overdose/suicide last night, overdosed in the exact same area around one year ago.
We're told cops were called to Paula Abdul's house -- either late last year or early this year -- and found Goodspeed inside her car, unconscious from a drug overdose.
Sources say Goodspeed suffered from "extreme mental illness" that spun out of control in the last two years.
Goodspeed, who was obsessed with Abdul, frightened the "A.I." judge -- LAPD's Threat Management division took the case and there was an active investigation. We're told lots of people tried to get Goodspeed help, but it was all to no avail.

A neighbor of Paula Abdul's tells TMZ she saw the car belonging to the deceased obsessed fan of Paula Abdul several times over the last few weeks.
The woman says she generally saw the car in the early mornings, and the woman inside -- who died near Paula's home last night -- would just sit. Neighbors thought she might be a paparazzo.
The neighbor also said cops came out to deal with it a few months back, to no avail.
As we reported earlier, the car had a license plate that read "ABL LV" and a picture of Paula hanging from the rear-view mirror. The woman was a contestant on the fifth season of "Idol."

It's painfully obvious from her MySpace page, the woman who was found dead in front of Paula Abdul's house had an obsession with "American Idol" -- and was seriously affected by her embarrassment on the show.
On Paula Goodspeed's page, which hasn't been updated since April 2007, Goodspeed posted a picture of Paula Abdul licking her lips with a caption that reads, "My secret crush, shhhhh."
Goodspeed also blogged about her "American Idol" rejection, saying how hard it was to deal with the "awful things" being said about her, "just because I made the mistake of trying out for a singing competition before I was ~even~ ready vocally, emotionally and physically."

The woman found dead in front of Paula Abdul's house last night was a featured contestant on "American Idol."
We've learned the identity of the dead woman, Paula Goodspeed, who appeared on Season 5 in 2006. During her audition she said she's an artist and the first pic she ever drew was of Paula Abdul. "Idol" produced a 3 minute and 40 second featurette on Goodspeed and her passion for Paula. She did not make the cut, after Ryan Seacrest proclaimed, "And the love affair is over."

The woman whose body was found outside Paula Abdul's home last night may have been stalking the "A.I." judge.
Police sources tell us they think the victim is an alleged Abdul stalker and cops have been to the house "numerous times before" to deal with her.
Paula's people tell us they know who the woman is.
The victim was found dead in a car, yards from Paula's L.A. home. Cause of death may have been a drug overdose.
UPDATE: The Ventura County Sheriff's Department tells TMZ the victims parents called them at 3:00 PM to tell them their daughter was missing and that she "had an unnatural obsession" with Paula Abdul and they might want to check Abdul's home.
