PAULA ABDUL is moving on from the controversy surrounding her departure from AMERICAN IDOL – insisting she’s been bombarded with “wonderful offers” since leaving the show.

The 47 year old announced on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, longrunning negotiations had fallen through and she had quit the U.S. talent series after eight seasons.

Abdul has been candid about considering a new role on the small screen on popular TV competition “So You Think You Can Dance” – just weeks after the show’s judge Nigel Lythgoe revealed he would welcome the singer to the programme “without question”.

But the star insists she won’t be jumping into a new job without careful consideration.

She says, “At this point, there are so many wonderful things that are being offered to me. And I got (sic) to take a deep breath, sleep a little… and go through everything.

“And I got (sic) to tell you, I’m never going to change who I am at the core. I’m a hard worker, I love working hard and nothing gives me more joy than to be on a project and working with people who are trying to achieve the same goal. And that’s where I’m at right now.”

Demi Moore and husband Ashton Kutcher are two of many Hollywood personalities who are regularly posting at the microblogging site, Twitter.

On Friday, Moore, 46 has received a suicide threat on her Twitter timeline from a woman saying, “getting a knife, a big one that is sharp. Going to cut my arm down the whole arm so it doesn’t waste time.” Moore then responded to the said “tweet” with the comment, “Hope you are joking.”

Demi Moore is in Southern France with husband Ashton Kutcher, who is filming a drama entitled “Five Killers.”

Twitter followers were able to track the “tweet” to be from San Jose, California. Authorities had found a 48-year-old woman and was taken into custody for “psychological evaluation.”

Moore, then posted a “tweet” after two hours saying: “Thanks everyone for reaching out to the San Jose PD i am told they are aware and no need to call anymore. I do not know this woman.”

According to a police spokesman, a concerned citizen, neither Kutcher nor Moore informed the police department about the suicide threat in Twitter.
