Paula Abdul
News

A lot of famous folks showed up for the premiere of Michael Jackson's This Is It movie, and you also had some not so famous folks such as Ian Ziering. What the hell was he doing there?

Adam Lambert and Katy Perry looked super cute on the red carpet together, and J.Lo had something funky going on with her hair. I'm not sure if there were 100 mph winds, or if her hair was all fugged up on purpose.

The movie has had good reviews and sounds like a must-see for those of us who grew up listening to Michael.

At 50, Jackson was still an amazingly gifted dancer with moves that leave your mouth agape. And Jackson's voice still dazzles — even when he's trying to play it down.

Adam Lambert will join his former "favorite judge," Paula Abdul, next Tuesday at the Beverly Hils Hotel. Adam, along with Snoop Dogg and Paula, will be announcing this year's American Music Awards nominees.

The nominations are presented in eight categories: Pop/Rock, Country, Soul/Rhythm & Blues, Rap/Hip Hop, Latin, Alternative, Contemporary Inspirational and Adult Contemporary.

This year's show takes place on November 22 at the Nokia Theater in L.A. Adam's debut cd will be released just two days after the AMAs!

Paula Abdul is a dancer and former choreographer, so executing Ellen DeGeneres' signature moves that Ellen does on her talk show must have been easy for Paula.

Paula Abdul looked like she had a little too much fun as she shook her a*s and acted just like Ellen does. It was perfection. Paula is obviously bitter, but at least she gets us all to laugh about it.

Pill popping princess Paul Abdul did what celebs do best these days which is talk through twitter.

Paula wanted to let us all know she sends kudos to Ellen on her new judging gig on American Idol.

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

Come on now, she can't seriously be happy that Ellen is taking her spot! Paula's gonna pull a Tonya Harding and have someone bust Ellen's knee caps before the first show. I know we can't get lucky enough to have some drama like that between Paula and Ellen but it would make for some great TV!

He's not the only one! American Idol lost eccentric crackhead Paula Abdul and they've been bringing in A-listers to fill the void. So far,  the roster of celebrity guest judges this season includes Victoria Beckham, Katy Perry and Shania Twain.

But the HBIC is gone and so are all of Paula's slurred comments, arguing and random dancing. Simon Cowell said, American Idol is "different. It's like comparing a carrot to a banana."

Though the judge says he doesn't want to "get in the middle" of Idol execs and Abdul, 47, he says, "I miss her."

He adds that Abdul is "someone who will always work."

I still can't believe that Paula's crazy won't be a part of this season. American Idol will feel SO strange!

Paula Abdul has announced that she will be hosting VH1 Divas.

Paula said, "This year's VH1 Divas show will honor Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus- I am so excited!!"

The show will air live from the Brooklyn Academy of Music Howard Gilman Opera House in New York.

On Monday it was announced that Paula will no longer be appearing on Ugly Betty this season. I feel like I should remove the exclamation point from this headline because me thinks Paula's gonna be a has been again within one year. I want her on Idol or her own reality show or I don't want her around at all.

Vh1 Divas goes live on Sept 17th at 9 pm EST.

I don't know what to think of Paula Abdul appearing on Ugly Betty. With the right script, I guess it's okay, but I feel like it's a cheesy thing for her to do right now, but I digress.

ABC is trying to make Paula Abdul forever their girl. She met with ABC president Steve McPherson yesterday and the network is reportedly desperate to bring her crazy to their network. However, as far as Dancing With the Has Beens goes, Paula won't be a judge and that's because her and Carrie Ann Inaba don't get along.

Paula will also return to American Idol if they agree to give her $10 million/ year. I wanna boycott Idol until Paula returns.

American Idol is sexist. Its producers wanted to pay Paula Abdul much less than Simon, Randy and Ryan. Why?!

Idol fans love Paula and if there's anyone who doesn't need to be on the judging panel, it's Randy DAWG Jackson and, of course, Kara DioGuardi.

Fox is now paying Simon Cowell $45 million a year, $9 million more than his current annual paycheck of $36 million. Simon will also be making more than 3x the amount that Paula was seeking ($10 million/year). And Randy reportedly makes close to $30 million. Yo yo yo. That's not fair, dawg!

Meanwhile Ryan Seacrest will be paid $15 million a year for three years. I commend Paula for taking a stand for pay equality.

ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson wants Paula Abdul to join his cheesy show. While at a press tour stop in Pasadena on Saturday, he said he would love to have Paula Abdul on Dancing with the Has Beens.

"We would love to have her on Dancing.”

McPherson added that Abdul could be added either as a participant, dancer or judge. “I think she’s a huge talent,” said McPherson. “There’s a sensitivity and an empathy that balances out Idol, and we’d love to get a piece of that.”

Dancing With the Stars isn't the right fit for Paula's brand of crazy. The show is too tame and there would be few opportunities for Paula to argue with the other judges about the dancing like she's able to on Idol, cause music's more subjective than dancing. I'm still hoping that Paula will return to American Idol or at least frequently show up to lip-synch new songs. Her "I'm Just Here For the Music and Drugs" performance last season was a masterpiece of epic proportions.

 Stop the presses and get in your bomb shelters because the world is ending. Paula Abdul has announced she is leaving American Idol!

You heard it right, the crazy one is leaving the Idol building. Paula Abdul went out the classy way by announcing her departure on Twitter.

With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon.

What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me.

I wonder if she's leaving because of Kara DioGuardi coming back to judge for another season? I don't think Paula could handle sharing the spotlight with another ho on the show. Oh Paula, I'm gonna miss watching Idol and wondering how many pills you popped before judging.
