Do you read the Huffington Post?  I guess I'm late to this party, because I've heard about it for a while but just now started reading it every day and now I'm hooked.  I love their mix of news and smart bloggy posts on this and that.

So I found this bombshell on Huffington Post last weekend.  Paula Abdul may not return for the next season of American Idol.  I know, it's devastating and earth-shattering, but I have to report it to you.  Don't kill the messenger.  HuffPo links to an LA Times article that says Paula's new manager claims she'll leave if the “rude” producers don't deal with her.  We know that this kind of public posturing is part of the whole deal-negotiating game, but what if Paula really DID leave the show?

Would you care if Paula didn't come back for another season of Idol?  Do you enjoy her wacky comments?  Do you think Paula is part of what makes Idol so fun to watch?  Or do you think the show would be better off without her?
