Belinda Carlisle was asked to replace Paula Abdul as an American Idol judge two years ago, it emerged today.
Coming just days after Abdul strongly denied reports that she was living a party lifestyle, Carlisle admitted that producres had approached her with an offer.
"As far as American Idol goes, I was actually approached a couple of years ago about possibly replacing Paula Abdul" Belinda has been quoted as saying.
Though she wasn't a fan of the show's format, this news just adds to the speculation surrounding Paula Abdul's life-span on the show.
"To be perfectly honest, it's just not my thing. I'd rather listen to music that comes from a more organic place. But you know, I just ... don't know if I would or not" said Belinda Carlisle when questioned as to her reasons for rejecting the offer.
