Paula Abdul Claims She "Never Had A Drinking Problem," Says Simon Cowell Won't Watch Her New Show

The former American Idol host is making the rounds while promoting her new reality/competition show Live To Dance, which premieres tonight on CBS.

Paula Abdul is currently claiming the following to CBS News: "I've never had a drinking problem, even though I've been in this business for quite some time. I've never physically been drunk in my life. I don't use recreational drugs - but I am goofy."

Glad she finally set the record straight! And speaking of her new show, Abdul also dishes to Entertainment Tonight about her former co-host Simon Cowell. Will he tune in for Live To Dance?

"[He said] I'm not watching it!" exclaims Paula. "He wishes me luck in the most back-handed way all the time! [He's like] that nagging brother!"

Hey, Paula - you're still so hilar!
