After the Los Angeles Times reported Friday that “American Idol” judge Paula Abdul may not be returning for the show’s eighth season, the paper now reports that fans are fighting back with a Twitter campaign.  Using the hashtag #keeppaula, tweeters are lobbying for Abdul to remain an “Idol” judge alongside Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGaurdi.

Time is slowly running out for Abdul and “Idol” to reach an agreement on her contract.  According to EW.com, August 6 is the first audition date for the next season, and the judges are usually filmed giving feedback.  The footage is then used in episodes, which will air on Fox in January.

As fans wait for more news, they continue to tweet their support:

Supporters are receiving personal tweets from Abdul.  She told @amy2608, “Your support and being there for me means the WORLD to me!! Thank you so much!”

Even “Idol” host Ryan Seacrest tweeted that he wants Abdul to stay, saying he “can’t imagine doing idol without” her. Abdul has been in negotiations since at least June, when the former pop star admitted she was unsure of her “Idol” future.

As soon as an official announcement is made regarding Abdul’s contract, Breaking Tweets Entertainment will have all the details and Twitterville reaction.  Keep checking back!
