THE X FACTOR: Simon Cowell on his Relationship with Paula Abdul and Those Pesky ‘DOA’s. Plus, Paula Responds!

As you may have seen on Wednesday’s episode of THE X FACTOR, judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid were unhappy that the women on the panel (Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger) were voting against putting certain female contestants through. Cowell claimed the contestants were “DOA,” because Abdul and Scherzinger’s “no” votes automatically made it impossible for them to move on to the next round.

When I sat down with Cowell earlier this month, he expanded on the “DOA” notion. Plus, how is his relationship with Abdul now?

Take a look…

But what does Abdul think of Cowell’s “DOA” assessment? I asked her!
