An ex-contestant of American Idol tells ABC News that he had an affair with host Paula Abdul, and that she provided him with tips and assistance.

"Clark, then 22, said that during the competition he had an off-camera relationship with Abdul, then 40, which was at first platonic but later became sexual. He said Abdul, who was herself a chart-topping singer in the late 1980s, initially told him, "I want to look out after you like I'm your mom.""

Well Paula Abdul, you definitely are a great mother figure...hooking up with kids half your age. But you already knew that opposites attract. I hope this spells the beginning of the end for the uber-popular show and Abdul's second coming.
