Will Paula Abdul's on-air flub this week on American Idol result in her ouster from the show?
Not a chance, says FremantleMedia North America CEO Cecile Frot-Coutaz.
Frot-Coutaz told the Associated Press, "Why would we get rid of Paula?...It was so unexpected. It was something that took up 2 seconds of airtime. You'd think there was no other news on television."
Abdul caused a stir when she critiqued two of contestant Jason Castro's songs when he had sung only one. It was later revealed that she had mistankenly read from notes taken during the show's dress rehearsal, at which Castro sang both of his songs for that evening's show. — J.R. Whalen

I thought it was a lot to do about nothing. I expect Paula to screw up or say things that I say WHAAT about. Think she adds to my enjoyment of the show. A little flighty but nice and can always count on having something to laugh at.

 The woman is most assuredly off her meds. Why do they continue to let her embarrass herself and the show? On an interview on Fox 4 in Dallas she was clearly intoxicated or overmedicated. Wow...nice role model for the kids, Paula
