Contestant Says Abdul Liked Flirting With Male ‘Idol’ Singers

Hadas Shalev was one of the top 30 finalists during the second season of ‘American Idol’, the same season that has sparked rumors that Paula Abdul flirted with, and even bedded, Corey Clark. When ‘Extra’ asked if Abdul gave Clark, or any contestant, special treatment, Shalev revealed, “She’ll compliment everybody. I know that Paula liked flirting with all of the boys, and all of the boys liked flirting with Paula. I didn’t see anything different relative to him and other contestants.” Shalev added, “[Clark] did flirt a lot. He flirted a lot with Paula. I thought it was maybe just his thing to flirt with Paula, just part of his act.”
