It seems we can't get through a season of American Idol without Paula doing something nutty. Whether it's dating a contestant or giving bad interviews or just being wacky. These events inevitably lead to an allegation that Paula has a drinking problem or is on drugs or something equally scandalous.
Some people seem to get very angry when these allegations start flying. These folks are fans of Paula and AI and therefore feel that they must defend her in any way they can. They make up excuses for her behavior which range from sleep deprivation to technical problems. Unfortunately none of them ever admit the truth:
Paula Abdul is a complete idiot.
Now before you accuse me of being too harsh, let me put this into perspective. Paula is a beautiful woman who has managed to become a popular and successful entertainer and media personality based on her talent for singing and especially dancing.
Her biggest shortcoming, however, is that she is a dingbat. Clearly she is smart enough to make decent business decisions but when it comes to the way she presents herself and her personal life, she has no idea what she's doing. Why else would she have so many horribly failed marriages?
When Paula says something really stupid on Idol, it's only a little more stupid than the thing she said on the previous episode. Quite frankly, I'm surprised when Paula can get through an episode without looking like a dimwit.
In the end, however, Paula is good at what she does and people enjoy watching her. Do you really think Simon Cowell would sit next to her for so long if she were drunk every night? I don't.
Here is this week's trivia question...
When Paula Abdul appeared on Saturday Night Live the first time, who was the host?
Congratulations, Wendy. Duchovny is the correct answer.

Paula abdul is a very intelligent woman. end of story. i am sick of people bashing her. it needs to stop. she gets very offended by these rumors. i have always taken her opinions seriously because all the evidence says she is the best judge, with the best track record. she predicted david vs david already back in february! and she got it right, Again!

Wow, you can see the future! You already know for sure that it'll be the David's in the finale... Can you give me the winning Power Ball numbers for Wednesday too?
Give it a rest. If Paula were really so offended, don't you think she would remove herself from the public eye? She knows what people think of her and she still insists on giving us ammunition. I think Paula enjoys the publicity!

Wow, you must be REALLY dumb if you think Paula Abdul is smart. It's like when you're in kindergarten and the 6th graders are HUGE...but then you get to High School and they are just little kids. If you think Paula is smart, your intellectual level must be sub-zero. Seriously, when has she ever said anything intelligent?
And just so you know, my first concert ever was Paula Abdul with Color Me Badd at the Oakland Coliseum, and she was my first crush. "Cold Hearted Snake" was my favorite song for at least a year. So I am a fan...but she's an idiot!
I also love Jessica Simpson, but I won't say she's smart...nor will I say that Bridget Marquardt is smart. Just because you like someone doesn't mean that they are smart.
JUST ADMIT THAT PAULA IS A MORON...Otherwise, you're just admitting your own intellectual incapacity.
She also told pretty much every other contestant this year that they are a "Bright Shining Star" and that "This was (their) moment", etc. She only says negative things when there really isn't anything positive to say, and even then she says something nice.

Whenever she says something somewhat insightful, Cowell gets the funniest, most surprised look on his face. It's priceless.
I love when she says something smart. It's so out of character and refreshing! lol

I think she is hooked on Vicodin. She acts like some people I've seen that takes them all the time.
