Well, my hopes that Paula Abdul would be replaced by a chimp or a giant cup of Pepsi just took a major hit. She's confident she'll be back according to the AP:
Paula Abdul says she has been invited to remain as an "American Idol" judge and that she's optimistic that she'll be able to negotiate a new contract.
"I've been invited to stay the duration of the show, however long it lasts," said Abdul, whose contract hasn't been renewed since it expired after the show's eighth season. She said Monday the invitation to come back is subject to agreement on the details of a new deal.
She jokingly called the panel of "Idol" judges that includes Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi a "dysfunctional family of sorts."
"I'm the nurturing mom, Simon's the disapproving dad, and Randy's the cool brother," she said. "It's been an interesting journey. It's something that I'll always would want to be a part of."

I tend to look at the negative side of everything, you can call it a gift, but that last remark seems pretty messed up. She purposely excluded Kara DioGuardi and was clearly racist toward Randy. A cool "brother"? Someone call Jesse Jackson.
