Despite rumors that Abdul could end up back on the Fox reality competition show this season, Sonenberg tells the Los Angeles Times, that there have been "no discussions whatsoever about 'Idol,'" and that although he would "never count anything out," Abdul has other priorities.
Sonenberg tells the LA Times that the 47-year-old star has received many offers for various television appearances and projects, which he feels are in large part due to Abdul's attitude and support towards the young "Idol" hopefuls.
"You can always tell when someone is really interested in you and not just going through the motions," he says. "That's clear with Paula. She's the kind of person who could be your best friend and mentor because she truly cares... When you look at the 'Idol' situation, it was clear she cared about those kids, it was clear she wanted them to feel safe."
Abdul's manager also assures the star's fans that they will definitely be seeing her on TV in the near future.
"She loves television," he says. "She has a number of exciting ideas, some of which are competitive, some of which are just theme-oriented…I think you're going to be seeing a lot of Paula, sometimes as an executive producer, sometimes as a performer or mentor and sometimes as a creative developer."
