Paula Abdul, the famous American Idol [Fox] judge who recently was hammered with allegations of a sexual relationship with contestant Corey Clark, has shown that the accusations have not affected her career heavily. The New York Daily News reports that Abdul will be back for the next series of American Idol, and will possibly play a role in the spinoff, So You Think You Can Dance [Fox]. The producer of both shows, Nigel Lythgoe, was quoted regarding the news:
“I don’t want to talk about [it] yet because if it doesn’t come off it will be sad. But I’m still talking to her. There’s a little idea that I think would be fabulous for her. She loves it, but we’ve just got to try to make it work date-wise and everything else.”

This post is probably to show that TVGameshows.net doesn’t even post news about things that it has big ugly gray banners for. The Game Show Congress, a group of people who no one’s heard of due to bad promotion, has listed its Game Show Award Winners for 2005. “Best Game Show Contestant Of The Year” went to game show host Ken Jennings, not surprisingly. Brad Rutter won “Best Contestant on a Traditional Game Show,” probably to make up for the fact that, you know, he’s not Brad Rutter, but “the guy who beat that Ken dude.” “Producer of the Year” went to Harry Friedman, producer of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. One of his babies, Jeopardy!, won “Game Show of the Year.” Meredith Vieira won the awards for “Best Host of a traditional Game Show” and “Game Show Host of the Year,” but promptly said, “Who cares? I have an Emmy for this crap now.”
