Abdul clears up 'The X Factor' rumors...
Singer Paula Abdul has cleared up rumors suggesting she left "The X Factor" on bad terms, insisting her departure was "amicable" and she remains friends with creator Simon Cowell.

Online gossip suggested Paula was furious about being booted from the show, but she has now spoken out to dismiss rumors of a rift with her longtime pal Cowell.
In a series of posts on Twitter, she writes, "Looks like the gossip mills are churning out a steady stream of fiction about me... Truth is, I parted ways amicably & remain friends with Fremantle (production company), Fox (TV etwork) & Simon. Just saw all my Fox friends the other day!... I know it's boring & underwhelming, but hey, the truth usually is..."

Mueller charged with cocaine possession and assault...

The 34 year old was arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession and third degree assault after cops were called to investigate allegations she was embroiled in a scuffle at a nightclub in Aspen.
She was released on an $11,000 bail bond and checked herself into a three-month stint in rehab in Utah, which she has just completed.
However, Brooke won't be able to put her troubles behind her as prosecutors have now decided to charge her with cocaine possession with intent to distribute, according to reports.
She was also hit with an assault charge.

At the time, she joked she was too old to tour again, saying, "I'm approaching 80 and if I did that thing everyone does, come back in five years, I'd be driving around in one of those carts you know, the ones with the joysticks you see in Costco."
However, the star went on to perform a 200-show residency in Las Vegas from 2008 until 2011, and has now told fans she will kick off a new tour in September.
In a series of posts on her Twitter page, Cher reveals she has just seen the sets for her new show, she writes, "Oh my God!! Just saw the sets 4 (for) the show!!! I can't show us (you) cause (sic) you'd never 4give (forgive) me! There's so much magic I am breathless!
"No s**t I'm shaking! The whole set/look changes 4 (for) every song! I mean completing changes! Tour starts in Sept! First dates Kansas."
