Paula Abdul quitting 'Idol'



The 47-year-old singer/dancer tweeted Tuesday night that she's quitting the hit show American Idol after 8 years.

"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return" to Fox's singing contest, Abdul said in a posting Tuesday night on her Twitter account. "I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon."

The panel for next season will only include the 2 originals, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell, and the newcomer last year, who I don't like AT ALL, Kara DioGuardi.

"What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me," Abdul said to followers on Twitter in announcing her decision. Abdul, a onetime-Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader who became an award-winning choreographer and singer, didn't indicate her post-"Idol" career plans in her tweet.

I was hoping so hard that Kara would leave next season. Although I don't like Paula too much, it just doesn't feel right that she's gone and Kara's around. I'd rather have her than Kara, who's trying hard to be the female version of Simon Cowell. Biatch, puh-lease!
