American Idol favorite Constantine Maroulis made headlines earlier this week for getting into a ‘bar fight’ with a fan over the news that Paula Abdul left the show.

“It was just a drunk dude at a concert [who] just like jumped on my back,” the 22-year-old told Extra. “Not that I wouldn’t [defend her], cause I love Paula. I would hit the streets for her but that’s not what happened.”

Idol alum Michael Johns also was shocked at the Paula news: “What can I tell you, I was a bit flabbergasted. Definitely she’s the reason people tune in whether you love her or whether you just want to see if she’s going to be a train wreck, you know. I think something special from the show will be missing.”

Michael Johns, who was voted off American Idol last week, is mobbed by fans as he left Live with Regis and Kelly on Monday.

While fans have been sad to see him go, his booting off has been a boon to his career, which has happened with many previous Idol contestants.

The 29-year-old Australian-turned-Atlantan has been contacted by Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban and even Dolly Parton, telling him how sad they were to see him leave the show.

Michael said last Friday, “I hadn’t been in the bottom three, and I thought the last two to three weeks have been my strongest. But we’re in the competition and stuff can happen.”
