Paula Abdul

American Idol judge Paula Abdul will remain with the hit Fox TV series after an investigation found no proof that she had an affair with a former contestant Corey Clark or helped him on the talent show, the network said Friday.

Lawyers who investigated claims by unsuccessful contestant Corey Clark of a sexual relationship with Abdul could not substantiate his allegations, Fox said.

Paula Abdul, therefore, can continue as a judge on American Idol, the network and series producers said in a statement.
