American Idol judge Paula Abdul has announced that she will not return to American Idol for another season. Here is the full official statement released by Fox:
"Paula Abdul has been an important part of the American Idol family over the last eight seasons and we are saddened that she has decided not to return to the show. While Paula will not be continuing with us, she's a tremendous talent and we wish her the best."
Here's what Paula said on her Twitter page:
"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to IDOL. I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon. What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me. It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month. I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all."

Fellow American Idol judges Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell (who has once been quoted saying that he does not want to do Idol without Abdul) are not commenting. Idol host Ryan Seacrest posted a response on his Twitter page saying: "I am shocked and saddened."
