Paula Abdul

Now that Paula Abdul is off of Idol, she's letting the fur fly by ragging on her ex-roommate Kara DioGuardi. Paula discovered Kara (thanks a lot...) and let Kara live with her. But she wasn't happy when she found out that Kara walks to the fridge and eats all of the food in her sleep. Paula had some funny things to say:

"I'd wake up in the morning and I thought ‘did my dog do this?’ There was food on the ground. ‘What the heck?’ I thought. But she would have no recollection that she did it."

And it seemed this was quite a topic of conversation among their friendship circle.

"The proof is in the pudding, one of her best friends said ‘oh you think you had it bad? She ate mine and my husband’s first anniversary wedding cake... in her sleep.’ So I didn’t feel so bad," Abdul continued.

How shocking. Kara has always been doing annoying things. If anyone has video of Kara sleep-eating, we'll pay for it.

The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Simon Cowell's negotiations over American Idol are heavily based on bringing his other hit show, X Factor, from England to America as well. Simon stands to make $50 million a year on Idol and an additional $50 million for X Factor if all goes well for him. The best nuggest of gossip from the article though is that Paula Abdul is rumored to possibly be one of the judges for the US version of X Factor if it does make its way here. Now that might make us tune in. Idol dropped the ball when it dropped Paula, so bringing her back as a judge on a new show is wise indeed. Or was it all a big publicity stunt to have Paula quit after she inked a deal to judge X Factor? Knowing Fremantle, probably the latter.

Paula imitated Ellen DeGeners on VH1 Divas last night, and here's the clip. Thankfully, Paula seems like the good old Paula we all know and love (assisted by the aid of an unknown substance). We miss her already!

In a move to save face, poor Paula Abdul tweets that she is happy that Ellen DeGeneres is the new Idol judge that is replacing her:

I think Ellen will b a gr8 judge on Idol. She is wildly funny, talented and I wish her the best of luck!

We know Paula must be pissed off, but don't worry. A few more pills and she'll be airing her real feelings soon. Miss ya, Paula!

Ellen DeGeneres just twittered that she is the new 4th judge on American Idol, Paula Abdul's permanent replacement. NO! While we like Ellen, she's no Paula. We want a drunken mess who judges songs before they happen. We want a belligerent pill popper who falls out of her seat crying when the resident boy toy is kicked off the show. We want someone who lets people draw mustaches on her face in crayon. Ellen is none of this. You hear that, DeGeneres? Even though you haven't done anything to upset us yet, you better watch out since you're replacing our beloved Pauler. This is just a travesty. A travesty. Here is the closest thing we could find to a picture of Ellen looking drunk. It's not even close. Boo.

American Idol confirmed it. Dammit.

Here is a preview for Paula Abdul hosting VH1's Divas, which has now become a sad shell of its former self that just promotes people tied to 19E. We miss Paula.

Paula Abdul tells TV Guide that she walked away from Idol on principle, not for money. Which basically translates into the principle was that she wasn't getting enough money. She also outlines plans for a talk show (hilariously awful, we'd watch) and brags about her 23 year career (thought she forgets about the 1992-2001 time period where no one cared about her). But hey, we're big proponents of the Rehabdul, so we say bring her back to Idol! Countdown until the publicity stunt that is "Paula leaving" is finally over and Paula rejoins the show...
