Paula Abdul Leaving American Idol - OK Magazine is reporting that Paula Abdul is planning on leaving American Idol, possibly even before Season 8 concludes.
The Paula Abdul leaving American Idol rumor comes from 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.
Additionally, the suicide death of Abdul’s longtime stalker, Paula Goodspeed, outside the star’s home last week has influenced her decision to leave American Idol after Season 8.
And that’s the latest news on Paula Abdul leaving American Idol.

give me a freakin break. she isnt leaving idol. just because she is developing new projects doesnt mean she plans to leave the show, which btw only requires 2 days of work/week during the live show period.
