Abdul heaps praise on Cowell
12/09/2005 - 12:06:24Paula Abdul has hinted her rivalry with fellow American Idol judge Simon Cowell is a sham, after heaping him with praise.
The pair have feuded throughout four seasons of the hit talent show.
But the singer has revealed affection for the sharp-tongued British record executive.
She says: "He's given a much-needed dose of reality to reality TV. Real cruelty is letting people believe in a dream they can never live up to.
"Simon's a man who gives credit where credit's due."
