While promoting the upcoming season of American Idol Paula Abdul made a bizarre appearance on a local Seattle station in which she swayed, bobbed and winked at the anchors. Abdul's spokesman, Jeff Ballard, tells PEOPLE the incident is "really much ado about nothing." Asked whether the Idol judge was drinking or under the influence of drugs during the appearance Ballard says: "Absolutely not." The interview was just one of at least 20 Abdul did that day, according to Ballard. "This is the only one that went bad due to technical difficulties. The sound dropped not once but twice. She was totally distracted by the whole thing." When asked by the show's anchors what she's looking forward to on the new season of Idol, Abdul responded: "How about a lot of you coming in. It's a wild party where you are," perhaps referring to the singers auditioning in Seattle, whom Simon Cowell said were some of the worst he's heard. "Well, I have to agree with Simon," Abdul answered while moving from side to side and nodding up and down. "Hey, you know, it is what it is." During the rest of the interview she addressed Idol's impact on the music industry, William Hung and new season's singers – including Seattle's less-than-stellar ones. "Any publicity is good publicity," advised Abdul. "You've got to learn to eat it up and embrace it and say 'Seattle has the best delusional people.' "

Abdul Cancels Appearances AP Photo/Paul Sakuma Singer-turned-"American Idol" judge Paula Abdul called off all her interviews Friday after clips of an earlier TV appearance appeared to show her drunk. The video -- in which Abdul slurs and bizarrely gesticulates -- emerged on YouTube on Thursday, prompting speculation alcohol or medication were to blame. She subsequently abandoned media engagements scheduled for Friday. However, Abdul's spokesman Jeff Ballard insists tiredness and a minor throat infection, not inebriation, were the causes of the cancellations and earlier odd behavior. He says, "She was exhausted. This was at the end of three days of press (interviews and appearances), and she has had cameras following her around for a reality TV show too. "She was sitting in a room with just a camera and a mic on, and the controllers dropped the sound twice, which is why she rolled her eyes. "She never drinks. I have known Paula Abdul since she was 13, and I have never seen her drink ever in my life. And no, she is not on any kind of medication. She was a little tired." In 2005 Abdul revealed she suffers from a neurological disorder that causes chronic pain and requires a weekly injection of an anti-inflammatory drug.

haha that was awesome!

Paula Abdul Explains Her Bizarre Behavior TUESDAY JANUARY 16, 2007 01:20 PM EST UPDATED By Pete Norman and Julia Wang Paula Abdul says the reason her behavior seemed so bizarre during a TV appearance last week was because of an audio snafu during a live interview to promote the new season of American Idol. Appearing on The Tonight Show on Monday, Jay Leno quizzed the Idol judge on the clip, which has since become a hot property on the Internet. "I did a big week of press all last week in New York, and on the third day I did one of those press junkets where you're in that one little room and you're looking at one camera and there are 30 cities talking into your ear," said Abdul. "I guess Alabama was in my ear and so was Seattle at the same time, so I'm answering questions to the wrong answers of the cities. So they're going, 'What the heck ... what is she saying?' " Abdul, 44, made the strange appearance on a local Seattle station in which she swayed, bobbed and winked at the anchors. When asked what she was looking forward to on the new season of Idol, Abdul responded enigmatically: "How about a lot of you coming in. It's a wild party where you are." Afterwards, Abdul's spokesman, Jeff Ballard, told PEOPLE the incident is "really much ado about nothing." And when asked whether the Idol judge was drinking or under the influence of drugs during the appearance Ballard said: "Absolutely not." FOX Network issued a statement on Monday in support of Abdul: "Rather than getting angry about these difficulties, or stopping the tour, Paula forged ahead and decided to have fun with the increasingly challenging situation. Unfortunately, because reporters and viewers were unaware of the situation, her humor was misconstrued." Abdul also made an odd appearance on the San Francisco area station KTVU during which the anchor asked her, "Do you always wiggle around that much? You're just wiggling around." Abdul laughed and answered, "I'm a dancer." Never short of humor, Abdul was happy to laugh about the audio anarchy with host Leno. "(It was) not my fault. I was having fun," Abdul said as she threw her hands in the air. She then quipped, "I answered the right questions in one of the cities." The sixth season of American Idol premieres Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.

Hahah, or shes just Coked up pretty good!
