PAULA'S BIZARRE IDOL BEHAVIOR

Well, "American Idol's" back - and the whole world's gossiping once again about whether PAULA ABDUL gets sloshed on camera! The boozy rumors were triggered by a weird interview on a Seattle TV morning show, with Paula "fidgeting, slurring, gesticulating wildly, and nearly falling asleep," according to one news report. Next, ROSIE O'DONNELL weighed in (you'll pardon the expression) on "The View" and all but accused Paula of spiking her "Idol" Coke! Indignant Judge Paula countered in the press, "...even though I've never been drunk in my life, I'm accused of filling my Coca-Cola cup with alcohol." Now here's my final word: A longtime Abdul source - who claims to have gotten happily hammered with the star on numerous occasions - snarked to My Spy: "Paula's gotten drunk so many times, she doesn't remember." (Hey, Paula...never drunk in your life?? Yeah, me neither, babe!)
