According to manager, David Sonenberg, Paula Abdul is not happy and is ready to not return for the ninth season of the popular talent show, “American Idol”. David says Paula is hurt and angry with a holdup on her contract negotiations.

“I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful,” Paula’s manager said. “I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do.”

Apparently while the show’s producers are too busy making multi-million dollar deals with host Ryan Seacrest and judge Simon Cowell, Paula hasn’t yet received a proposal for a new contract therefore she is most likely not going back on ‘Idol’.

Paula turned to Twitter to address the subject and to thank fans for all the support during this difficult time in her career.

”I’m actually moved 2 tears upon reading the enormous amount of tweets showing me your kindness, love, & undying support. God bless all of you!,” she Tweeted. “If it weren’t for you, this specific time and situation would feel a whole lot worse!”

I can’t believe they are letting Paula go… please take Kara DioGuardi! Keep Abdul!! However, this could be a strategy to get Paula a better deal. Auditions for season nine of American Idol will start next month and the show will return in January, 2010.
