In a statement, Fox says when she appeared on a Seattle morning show, she couldn't hear herself. "All of us at Fox have tremendous respect and admiration for Paula Abdul," the statement reads. "She is a consummate professional who always gives 100% to everything she does. Last week, during a satellite press tour there were intermittent technical difficulties, including severe audio issues in which multiple stations were speaking to her at once. Rather than getting angry about these difficulties, or stopping the tour, Paula forged ahead and decided to have fun with the increasingly challenging situation. Unfortunately, because reporters and viewers were unaware of the situation, her humor was misconstrued."

Or.... she was drunk. I'm suprised they didn't use the cold medicine defense.... that's usually the first excuse the hollywood P.R. machine uses.

I'm sure she'll appear normal on American Idol.....for her.
