The American Idol finale may be behind us (thank god), but that doesn’t stop Idol news from happening. Granted, it’s not as juicy as who’s going to win, but it’s something for fans to feed on until the next edition of the talent show hits the airwaves. First up, Paula Abdul is saying that she has “found her purpose” on Idol: “I knew since I was a little girl that I had this profound way of touching people.” Um, yeah. And those honking paychecks don’t have anything to do with her “purpose” do they? On to Sanjaya—who appeared on the finale with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry (why they gave him the spotlight I still can’t figure out)—was supposed to appear with Ozzy Osbourne. I suppose that would be more of a clash of personality, but Ozzy sobered up and came to his senses, pulling out of the gig at the last minute. An “insider” reported that Osbourne said, “he didn’t want to be onstage with that idiot.” Who knew Ozzy could be so sensible?
