Though a Page Six report and a circulating YouTube clip suggest otherwise, Paula Abdul's rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively that she was not fired via email from the the Bratz movie. In fact, they say she was not fired at all!

In a statement released today, the singer/reality star's rep said that Abdul's schedule was to blame for her leaving the production. "She was not only taping "American Idol three days at week, she was also filming her Bravo reality series Hey Paula! five days a week as well. In addition, she was in the process of not only expanding her successful QVC jewelry line but also coming up with the first scent in her new perfume line "Sexy Thoughts."

With all her responsibilities, Abdul's rep explains, "something had to give and ultimately that was Bratz."

So just how did this vicious rumor that Abdul was unceremoniously dumped from her role as executive producer, music/choreography/fashion consultant and actress in the Bratz movie get started? It can't have helped that Abdul never commented on her departure from the project, a decision her rep says today was in accordance with producers' wishes. "The producers and executives [at Lionsgate] begged Paula not to reveal in the press that she had voluntarily left the film as they were reaping tremendous publicity from using Paula's name to attract interest in the film via press releases and internet stories (over 88,000 thus far)."

And what about the footage of Abdul crying about the film on Hey Paula!? "Very creative editing," her rep says.

Bravo reps, however, stand by their show. "The email Paula received and her reaction was a very real and emotional moment that was shown as it happenned," reps for the network tell Us.

Paula says she was fired from the Bratz movie.
But her "representative" said she was not.
HOw can "creative editing" explain the difference? Did the producers of "Hey Paula" dub in lines that she never said? But why would Paula allow that on her own show?
It's as confusing as her story of her medical ailments - plane accident, cheerleading accident, addisons disease, RSD, pain meds, no pain meds, blah blah blah.
I don't know that Paula is a LIAR. I think she has no notion of the truth, and keeps changing it to fit the moment. The woman is a trainwreck.

Oh I see crybaby Paula made you take the video down. Well, she wasn't affiliated with the Bratz movie anyhow said the producers and she certainly wasn't hired as any kind of executive producer. Paula is the laughing stock of society. Her show sucks as much as she sucks.

I always liked Paula, It seems like she is coming apart though. Back to the usual question, "Does not anyone care for this Lady?" I do housework & whatever after work so I don't watch any of these shows. Is she losing it?

How Paula ever amounted to 'anything' is beyond me, however, this little midget dresses like a dimestore charm bracelet. Tacky to the max.

2:43 PM kara Says:

why are the people around her not doing anything to help this women? She is such a head case, its ridiculous! Watching her show is like watching a train wreck. I can't help but watch, but my goodness. Get this women help.

2:43 PM Anonymous Says:

Paula Abdul is a STRAIGHT UP MESS. And to think she executive produced the 'Hey Paula' show and let that crap pass editing. What a disaster she is - go away Paula and keep your greasy Arab mitts off Simon Cowell. He isn't interested in dried up meat.

2:31 PM Pam Says:

Girlfriend is seriously delusional and unstable.

2:25 PM Anonymous Says:

Who cares about this movie. Sounds pathetic. It is going to flop for sure. I don't like Paula much, but she is better off not doing this crap.

2:23 PM Stacie Says:

"Creative editing" my a$$! They DID fire her for whatever reason. You cannot try and say something entirely different happened when it's right there on video!! What morons! So glad I don't watch that crappy show. Does she cry throughout each episode???? Seems like it....
