But that's nothing compared to the abusive tweets and Facebook messages they've received. Some of the messages read:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- \"F**K you paula you dumb c**t you voted off the most talented person on your f**king show. i hope you die you DUMB B***H.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- \"I hope you die, you selfish----------\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- \"@NicoleScherzy @paulaabdul go die\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources on the show tell us Paula and Nicole are shocked by the harassing messages and neither has experienced a reaction so strong before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
