Paula Abdul: 'I've never been drunk'

Paula Abdul has denied claims that she has battled drug or drink addictions, saying that she has never even been drunk.

The singer and American Idol judge told ABC's Nightline that rumours she has abused prescription drugs are completely unfounded.

Abdul said: "No, no, no, no, no. Will not take those drugs. And you can check my medical records there is nothing like that. I was never on Oxycontin or Vicodin or anything like that. I was on nerve medicine and anti-inflammatories.

"I've never been drunk in my life. I don't like it. It's not my thing. Spending money on clothes and shoes, that's another thing."

Of her seemingly dazed appearance on 2007 Bravo reality show Hey Paula, she said: "I'm falling asleep and a camera is on me. I don't have anything that is shameful. I don't have anything to be embarrassed about that was not accurate documentation of my life."
