Great news! FOX-TV has cleared Paula Abdul. I am SO relieved. I know you are too.
According to Reuters:
"Fox said in its statement that Abdul acknowledged she had phone conversations with Clark while he was a contestant, but she denied the talks were related to her giving assistance.
Abdul's and Clark's accounts of the phone calls "differ greatly and no evidence was uncovered to resolve the conflicts in their accounts," Fox said."
The network's probe was conducted by lawyers at independent firms, required almost 600 hours of work and spanned more than 3 1/2 months.
Clark was kicked off "American Idol" in 2003 for failing to disclose that he faced criminal charges of battery and resisting arrest that stemmed from a fight with his sister."
Hey, back up. 600 HOURS? What the...? SIX HUNDRED?
How could they run up that much time?
"Tell you what - go ask 20,000 people if they saw them do it."
I imagine squads of attorneys on the clock, lunching : "What do you think she did?" " I don't know, what do YOU think she did? Pass the mustard." "I think she rode that horse, if you know what I mean." "Did we get the detectives? " "Yeah - six of them. They're searching all of hollywood for DNA. If it's out there, we'll find it." "What's DNA?" "Huh?" "No, no, what is DNA?" "What?" "D-N-A... Didn't-Noodle-Abdul!" "Noodle - what the heck is "noodle?" "You know - noodle."
In a related story Fox announced the fall season premier of Searching For the Truth - a dramatic new reality show in which camera crews follow investigators on the trail of what may have been the biggest contest-show scandal since the $64,000 Question.

And, today (8/15) Variety announced that Fox and the show's producers have warned Paula to not fraternize with the Idol contestants.
Odd advice to give someone you have recently completely cleared, don't you think?
