'American Idol' judge hurt by Abdul comments
Songwriter Kara Dioguardi, the new judge on US TV talent show 'American Idol', has been left "hurt" by Paula Abdul's comments about having a fourth panellist join the show - after the singer alleged the new addition ruined the programme's format.
DioGuardi joined Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson on the judging panel last month for the eighth season of the hit series, but her run on the show has been dogged by rumours of a feud between the two female judges.
