Will Paula still be Idolized?

Paula Abdul is returning to American Idol after successfully fending off allegations that she slept with and helped coach contestant Corey Clark. Yes, we all know that, don't we? Now folks are speculating over whether or not Idol watchers will still stick by Paula's side after this whole fiasco. I think Abdul came out of this more or less squeaky clean, and I doubt the show will suffer at all. As publicist Michael Lavine so nicely put it, "It's an entertainment show and people know that in their core," he said. "Like wrestling, it's not serious sports. It's not Watergate, it's not Monica Lewinsky."
