‘American Idol’ producers defend Paula Abdul’s shooting at contestant

“American Idol” judge Paula Abdul had to be physically restrained after brandishing a handgun and firing a single shot at a contestant Tuesday night.  Abdul unloaded one round toward “Idol” wannabe Casey Carlson as she concluded singing her hip hop version of “Achy Breaky Heart.”

“The fact of the matter is that our judges do have the right to open fire on any contestant. It’s a loophole in their contract,” says an “AI” producer. “Carlson was the fifth contestant last night to hit the stage with a hip hop version of the Billy Ray Cyrus anthem. That’s a lot for any of our judges to take.”

Carlson was not injured. Idol Contestant Ricky Braddy (who also sang "Achy Breaky") narrowly escaped injury after Abdul tossed a two liter bottle of Coca-Cola at Braddy's head while screaming "things go better with coke..[expletive]."
