Paula Abdul Denies Drunken American Idol Gaff

It was the producers fault, nothing to do with alcohol...

Paula Abdul Denies Drunken American Idol Gaff ...more Paula Abdul »

Paula Abdul has fiercely denied she was drunk when she made an embarrassing blunder on American Idol on Tuesday.

The singer was blasted by TMZ, which accused the singer of being under the influence of alcohol when she was caught out by a change to the judging format of the show.

When asked to appraise first performer Jason Castro, Abdul gave her opinions on two performances - even though each singer had only sung once.

The website had claimed she was "bubbly" after "at least one martini" at a lunch at Maggiano's restaurant in Los Angeles four hours before the show began.

But Abdul brands the claims "absolutely not true" saying, "It got very confusing.

"The producers come up to us in the dark and said, 'We are not going to have you guys judge after each performer, we are going to have all the performers go once, then twice and at the end critique them.'"

If you haven’t seen Paula’s embarrassing mistake yet, view it here.

Poll  Do you think Paula was drunk?

Definitely

No way

Does it matter?

  • I think this has happened too many times just to be the producer's fault. She evidently has a problem with alcohol or drugs and seems high a lot of the time.

  • I wish everone would give the woman a break! I think she is a little on the flakey side but that does'nt mean she is drunk or drugged up. "Idol" is changing things up some this year and after so many years it can get confusing.

  • Will everyone give Paula a break. We all make mistakes.It was a crazy night, everthing was going to fast. She was just reading her notes for the next contestant. Too much is made from such a little thing. Leave it to the media to make a big deal about nothing.
