IDOL CHATTER

Paula Abdul better put a lock on her medicine cabinet: Primetime Live is working on a potentially explosive expos&#233 on American Idol to air during May sweeps, per Variety. The piece, which has been in the works for several months, will reportedly take a hard look at the relationship between Idol judges and contestants, not to mention the results of Abdul's recent CAT scan. Speaking of which, the 42-year-old train wreck tells People magazine that her erratic, loopy behavior on Idol is not drug-induced. She claims she's just happy to have recently conquered a rare neurological disorder that for years has caused severe, debilitating pain. "Drugs? I'm not addicted to pills of any kind," she tells the mag. "I'm dancing for joy at the fact that not even a year ago I was in so much pain I could barely get up." OK, but that still doesn't explain the seal clapping!
