News: Paula Abdul & Nicole Scherzinger Received Death Threats

"X-Factor" hosts Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger I guess voted off the wrong contestant on last Thursday night's show, at least according to several angry Drew Ryniewicz fans whose violent threats have Paula and Nicole fearing for their lives.

According to our sources, Paula and Nicole both got the cold shoulder from Simon Cowell after the show who was "furious" with their decision. But that's nothing compared to the abusive tweets and Facebook messages they've received. Some of the messages read:

-- "FucK you paula you dumb cunt you voted off the most talented person on your fucking show. i hope you die you DUMB BITCH."

-- "I hope you die, you selfish bitch"

-- "@NicoleScherzy @paulaabdul go die"

Sources on the show tell us Paula and Nicole are shocked by the harassing messages and neither has experienced a reaction so strong before.
