Paula Abdul is sort of loved by American Idol viewers.

But will the controversial judge soon be exiting the world's most popular reality show? An insider says Abdul is looking to “transition” out of the Fox hit.

“She knows that every season could be her last. Now she’s got a new secret venture that she’s really excited about,” a source told OK!
