Simon’s Paula Senses

‘Access Hollywood’ spoke with Simon Cowell and asked the ‘American Idol’ judge about his contentious relationship with fellow judge Paula Abdul. “People ask if all this is sort of staged or anything, but honest to God, Nancy, I see Paula 30 seconds before the show starts,” Simon told host Nancy O’Dell. “Normally, I’m sitting down, she walks in, and I take one look at her face and I can go, this is going to be a rough show. I can just tell or its going to be a happy show. Paula is one of those people, she just doesn’t like being disagreed with, so, if she says something and I disagree she goes nuts. It’s interesting for me ’cause I never know what is going to come out of her mouth. I’m not even sure if she does half the time.”
