I too am confident that Paula will be back. People can say all that want that it is Simon who makes the show, but in reality, it the dynamics of all 3 judges that make the show. Corey Clark is saying he won't help Fox in their investigation to help prove his allegations. Hmmm, we wonder why Nigel is behind Paula so, there really isn't anything left to do. One would think that if Corey wanted to be taking seriously and look more credible, he would provide them with information.

Also, about the phone message that Paula allegedly left for Corey. Doesn't anyone else find it odd that, that is the only message they used to "prove" their case? That message didn't prove a thing. If you listen to it again, Paula's tone is that of someone who is offering advice. "Hi it's Paula. Listen, if the press is trying to talk to you, you just say nothing, that is all you do." It makes much more sense that Paula left that message for Corey two years ago after he got kicked off the show. She was consoling him in a way. That call was not recent, as ABC is trying make it seem. The call was also taken out of context. It's the only clip they are playing. If in fact it was proof of any wrong doings, then why not play that clip from start to finish? Also, remember what happened to Paris Hilton recently? Her cell phone info was hacked into. It wouldn't even surprise me if Paula left that message for someone else and it got leaked somehow. It's not that far fetched. But if it was a call to Corey, it most certainly had nothing to do with him speaking out now; it is an old message that proves nothing. Corey Clark is nothing short of pathetic.
