Seacrest: I Can’t Imagine ‘Idol’ Without Abdul

Ryan Seacrest is weighing in on Paula Abdul’s apparent departure from "American Idol," saying he "can’t imagine" the show without here.

 

Seacrest spoke out about Abdul’s exit — where else? — on Twitter, posting a couple of messages around 10:30 p.m. Los Angeles time.

 

"About to go to sleep when I started seeing my blackberry blow up. I have read what (you) have read, and I am shocked and saddened about Paula," Seacrest said.

 

"’Idol’ and the cast have grown with each other over the last eight seasons. I can’t imagine the panel without (Abdul). She’s a star (and) a great friend."

 

Seacrest then noted he had spoken with judge Randy Jackson and that he hoped "to speak with Paula privately overnight."

 

The saga continues ….
