SHE DOES HAVE A POINT.

NEW YORK – Paula Abdul said her contract is up this season on “American Idol,” and that no one can ever replace her.

In an interview with Cynthia McFadden, airing Thursday on ABC News “Nightline” at 11:35 p.m. EDT, Abdul said that she loves the show, especially this season, which has a fourth judge, Kara DioGuardi.

“I love the show, I do. I love what I do on the show. … It’s taken me a while to get comfortable in my own skin with the show,” Abdul said.

Asked by McFadden if she thinks DioGuardi will replace her on the show, Abdul said, “I don’t think anyone (can). First of all, Kara says, ‘I could never replace you.’ And I said whenever there is change it’s not about replacing anybody it’s about possibly moving on.”
