Paula Abdul denies drug use. Film at eleven, story at Yahoo.

American Idol judge Paula Abdul, responding to questions about her erratic behavior on the hit Fox talent show, says she is suffering from a rare neurological disorder and does not have a drug problem.

"Drugs? I'm not addicted to pills of any kind," Abdul says in the new issue of People magazine (on newsstands Friday).

Abdul says she kept her condition secret from her fellow Idol judges but decided to go public after reading message boards about her behavior on and off the set.

Paula? Hon? I've been crushing on you since the mid-80s. Still do, if truth be told. I know I've said some things here at RTVWorld. But if you think we've said mean things about you, I wouldn't recommend you open any of the threads with Scott's name in them. We kid here. We kid because we love. We love to kid! We also love the show, and every time you do something a little bizarre that gives us something to talk about, we love it more. So you go girl!
