AMERICAN IDOL - ABDUL 'LIED' ABOUT ATTACK

LATEST: AMERICAN IDOL judge PAULA ABDUL has been accused of fabricating claims she was attacked at a private party earlier this month (02APR06). The former pop singer, who was enjoying a night out at Los Angeles hotspot Xenii, alleged JIM LEFKOWITZ "grabbed her by the arm and threw her against a wall", according to Los Angeles police spokeswoman APRIL HARDING. But Lefkowitz insists he has not been called in for questioning because Abdul's accusations are entirely unfounded. His lawyer MICHAEL NASATIR tells PageSix.com, "The press accounts of the so-called altercation between Jim Lefkowitz and Paula Abdul at Xenii last Sunday morning are completely outrageous and utterly false. "Mr Lefkowitz did not have an argument with Ms Abdul nor did he have any physical contact with her whatsoever. He was merely an innocent bystander at an unfortunate incident." Abdul was said to have suffered concussion and spinal injuries as a result of the attack. Sources tell the website she concocted the elaborate story to cover up her eviction from the club for drunken behaviour.
