Paula Abdul's Latest Blunder

Oh, that Paula Abdul!  Always good for a laugh--even if they are all at her expense. 

So, last night on "American Idol" each of the remaining 5 contestants had to sing two Neil Diamond songs.  Because the show is only an hour, Ryan Seacrest hauled them out like cattle after they all sang their first song and had the judges do a quickie critique.  Paula does her thing, but one problem: she gives feedback to Jason Castro on two songs.  Which means one of two things: the show is scripted beyond belief--which could account for Ryan's semi-flustered "you're seeing the future, baby" comment--or Paula was late taking her meds.  Or early.  Could go either way there.

Paula claimed she got mixed up (shocking!) and that her second song comments were really meant for David Cook's first song.  Of course that doesn't explain why her first reaction was "I thought you sang twice" when called on her blunder.  Doh!

I swear, though, it made my night watching this.  I love the shot of the contestants on stage as she's talking.  You know they're all thinking "Huh?"  That crazy pillhead really does bring the unintentional comedy gold, that's for sure.

American Idol's Unjust Elimination

Why do I let myself get sucked into this show?  Why, why, why?  It always just ends up breaking my heart.  I had two--exactly two--favorites going into last night's elimination: David Cook and Michael Johns.  David because I like his voice and Michael because he was so very, very pretty to look at.  And he looked great in jeans.  Especially from the back. 

So, naturally, what happens?  He gets eliminated!  And it was so unfair.  Sure, his "Dream On" the other night wasn't fantastic, but, please--Kristy Lee Cook is still there.  Syesha Mercado is still there.  And my Michael is gone.  You tell me: is this a 'throw him to the wolves' performance?  It's really not!  Even Paula was shocked.  Then, again, Paula is shocked about 95 percent of the time, so that's really not a good barometer.

Paula Abdul To Perform At The Super Bowl?

Paula Abdul is in talks to perform--LIVE--at the Super Bowl next month, reports TV Guide blogger, Michael Ausiello.  That's right, the woman who routinely lip-synched when she was actually a relevant musical presence (shut up!  "Opposites Attract" is an awesome song!) is now going to go live at an event watched by a kajillion people worldwide.  Nevermind the fact that she can barely remain coherent and upright for an entire "American Idol" episode.

Supposedly, she's also already recorded a duet with Randy Jackson for his upcoming Music Club Vol. 1 CD and is rehearsing for a video. 

Oh, please, please, let this be true!  She's the next best thing to Britney as far as crazy goes!  And I hope she has cameras following her all around to document it.  If anyone watched her reality show, "Hey Paula," last year you know she's a drama queen to the nth degree and thinks anyone who doesn't believe the sun shines out of her ass isn't appreciating her.  It would be awesome to see her get all "I worked my ass off...and they don't applaud loud enough.  That's what's wrong with people--they don't see me for the gift that I am."

Paula Abdul: Forever a Nutcase

Last week's release of a tape of Paula's crying and complaining about her publicist is really only the tip of a very high-maintenance iceberg, according to Radar magazine.  You mean Paula's really crazy?  Who would have ever guessed?

Apparently, though, Abdul's the boss from Hell.  In the last three weeks, she's had three different publicists and she hires, then fires, a new assistant every ten days, on average.  Oh my god, it's like when Murphy Brown had a different secretary every episode.  Except for the Candice Bergen/fictional sitcom aspect.

A source from Paula's past says she's just a big, weepy mess:

"If you want to be Paula's publicist you have to spend hours on the phone with her—literally—listening to her cry, or else she will think you don't love her."

I don't really think publicists have to love their clients, they just have to, gee, I don't know...publicize them.  Another source confirms the insanity:

"She's whacked.  Nothing makes her happy, and she never feels like she's getting the attention she deserves. She always blames everyone for everything."

This really makes me want to watch her new reality show on Bravo.  Please, please, please let them show the crazy in its entirety.
