Ex-'Idol' Contestant: More Evidence Against Abdul


Former American Idol contestant Corey Clark said Tuesday that he has additional "incriminating evidence" to back his allegations that he was seduced by Paula Abdul, but will not reveal it to the public "because of its explicit nature." Clark's attorney said, however, that he will turn the material over to "any governmental agency that launches an investigation stemming from his claims." Thus far, no governmental agency has expressed interest in investigating the claims. Meanwhile, appearing on today's (Wednesday) edition of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Abdul's fellow judge Simon Cowell remarked that Clark's appearance on an hour-long special edition of ABC's Primetime last week "was actually just a huge plug for his appalling new album." Moreover, Cowell added, "I have to say in defense of Paula, I've worked with her now four seasons, I mean, you would have heard rumors of this stuff, you know what it's like when you work on a show, and it was all news to me and I think it was all news to her." On Tuesday night's edition of American Idol, cameras focused on members of the audience holding hand-drawn signs supporting Abdul. One read: "We love U Paula!"

'Idol' Scandal Boosts Ratings


For the first time this season, the Wednesday results edition of Fox's American Idol scored stronger ratings than the Tuesday performances show, due in large measure no doubt to ABC's Primetime Live special the same night on which former contestant Corey Clark alleged that he had an affair with judge Paula Abdul. While Idol remained the top-rated show among 18-49 year olds for the week, CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation continued to lead in the overall ratings and helped CBS win the first full week of the May sweeps.
