Abdul Quits Reality TV

American Idol judge Paula Abdul has vowed never to make another reality TV show after branding producers ‘manipulative’.

The 45-year-old singer accused bosses on her fly-on-the-wall series Hey Paula of tricking the audience and distorting the truth with clever editing.

Abdul now insists she will never allow the cameras back into her life.

Larry DavidLarry David has dismissed speculation his onscreen marital breakdown broadcast in the States in Sunday night’s episode of TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm deliberately mirrored his real life offscreen.

The comedian’s wife of 14 years, Laurie David, filed for divorce in July (07). The couple had announced their separation in June.

But David insists Sunday’s episode - in which his onscreen wife, played by Cheryl Hines, walked out on him - was just a “very weird” coincidence, adding he had written the scene long before his marriage disintegrated.

American Idol judge Paula Abdul has defended singer Lily Allen for cancelling a string of gigs in the US.

The singer, 45, believes Allen is too talented to be criticised for cancelling her US tour after encountering visa problems - which left her unable to enter America.
