Paula Abdul has denied rumours that she has received her new American Idol contract, insisting that she is still out in the cold.

Simon Cowell recently insisted that he wanted Paula back, however the former cat romancer revealed on her Twitter blog today:

“Hey guys, I have not made a deal with Idol. Don’t know how that rumour got started but it’s not true as I still haven’t heard from the producers.”

Anyone else thinking they may actually start watching the show now?
