Globe Challenges Paula Abdul to a Polygraph Test  5/3/05

GLOBE Challenges American Idol Host Paula Abdul Offers to Pay for Polygraph Test to Determine if She Had a Secret Affair With American Idol Contestant

NEW YORK, May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The new issue of GLOBE is continuing its exclusive coverage of former American Idol contestant Corey Clark's claims that he had a steamy secret affair with judge Paula Abdul during the show's 2003 season.

On sale May 5, the GLOBE responds to vehement denials from Abdul's camp on Clark's alleged claims that he had a relationship with Abdul while a contestant by giving both camps a chance to tell the truth; GLOBE will arrange for Abdul and Clark to be tested by a board certified polygraph expert for which it will pay and print the results.

"All eyes are on Corey and Paula right now," says GLOBE Editor-in-Chief Candace Trunzo. "They owe it to American Idol fans to settle this thing once and for all. We invite both of them to sit down and take a lie detector test. We'll let our readers judge who is telling the truth on American Idol."

The claims first became public as Clark was shopping around a book proposal on his relationship with Abdul, which GLOBE reported exclusively in its May 2 issue.

The new issue of GLOBE will hit newsstands on May 5. SOURCE GLOBE
