PAULA ABDUL DEFENDS HERSELF
Extra sat down exclusively with Paula Abdul and she spoke out about the criticism and speculation around her odd behavior (that some attribute to either drugs or alcohol) in interviews and on her hit show American Idol. "I don't like to [drink alcohol]. I've never been drunk. I'm goofy enough, am I not?," she told the show. "I've been in the business 20 years. When have you seen me in any pictures partying? I'm too busy working!"
But it wasn't all serious. When asked for what she looks for in a male suitor she said, "The opposite from Simon."
You can catch the whole interview when it airs Feb. 1 on Extra.
