American Idol judge (and my junior high crush) Paula Abdul is being accused
by two workers at the Silverton hotel and casinoin Las Vegas of getting them fired. The story goes that Abdul called
the front desk in the early morning to change her flight plans for later that morning. The two girls working the front
desk began to print out flight schedules, but in the midst of it all were called again by Abdul who told them the
flights were all booked. She then blamed them for causing her to miss her flight. The workers, Carol Good and
Damon Rosa, were both fired. I won't pretend to know who was right or wrong in this situation, but I was impressed that
Good stayed past the time her shift was supposed to end in order to help out, if only because I used to work in the
hospitality industry. Typically, once my shift was over I pretty much stopped caring about the residents of the
hotel. This makes me a bad person, I know. I've been trying to improve myself through meditation.Hotel workers not happy with Paula Abdul

Well, the question really is why she was staying at the Silverton? Couldn't she afford the Bellagio, or Wynn, which is right on the Strip? She should remember her days AFTER her singing career fell through the cracks when she gets into these starlet fits.

Methinks that we aren't getting the whole story here! It just doesn't track. If Paula found out the flight schedules on her own why would she have called the front desk in the first place? Maybe they didn't give her a wake up call? Because unless they are also travel agents would they be booking flights??? I doubt it, Paula has her own people who can book her flights. I think the Silverton is the complex where she is VP of Entertainment or some such title. But even if she mouthed off to the desk person (maybe they mouthed right back?) would she even know or care enough about these people to get them fired?? I doubt it, if they got fired they might very well have had a lot of straws on their backs already and this was the final one. Maybe she mentioned it to someone else and THEY fired these people because A) you don't mess with the bigwigs of any corporation and B) maybe they wanted an excuse! At any rate Paula doesn't do the hiring and firing of desk clerks. Get real.
