Paula Abdul planning to destroy American Idol

Paula Abdul is waging war against American Idol. Sources say the eccentric former singer is still furious that she was booted from Idol, so has vowed to destroy the TV show with her own, rival program.

Abdul’s new show, Live to Dance, will air on CBS at the same time as Idol airs on FOX.

“Paula wants to hit Idol bosses where it make FOX regret not meeting her salary demands to keep her on Idol,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“She wants to hit them where it hurts most — in the ratings!”

Abdul recently admitted she can’t help but feel a little satisfaction at the demise of Idol.

“That show meant a lot to me,” she said last month. “I was always present and passionate about seeing young untapped talent.

“The other part was seeing how it made me look like the biggest numbskull in the world. It was time to move on but it there is nothing more gratifying than knowing your own importance and I gave a lot to that show.”
