‘American Idol’ Ruins Paula Abdul’s Album Plans

Paula Abdul complained to Globe magazine that while serving as judge on ‘American Idol’, she was worked so hard that the show was ruining her attempts at a music comeback. “Ever since I started doing ‘American Idol’, I haven’t had a single moment to work on my own stuff,” Abdul sighed. “I was working on my own record, but they won’t give me a single day off to concentrate on it.” But with ‘Idol’ in the off season now, Abdul says, “I’m going to take time off now to work on my album.”
