    Hell, maybe I'm crazy. I sort of really liked the star shaped sparkly necklaces and bracelets. Of course, I accessorize like a 12 year old girl.

    paula abdul is a KOOKY biotch.
    AI is FOX's highest rated show, this kind of publicity is probably something they DONT need. i mean, this seems a little...uh....EXTREME, just to "destroy paula's career" or whatever she thinks is going on.
    and if this girl was stalking her FOR 17 YEARS dont you think she would have done something about it??? this whole thing doesnt make sense to me at all.

    i worked for paula for 3 months...stalkers? crazy letters? she lived on one of the most accessible strees in the valley...she had security, etc...she may be right about Fox using this to get rid of her, which is true, they are over her batshit craziness but i would have known that this ho was being stalked...and it goes from 11 to 17 to 20 years...the girl was 30...she's been a stalker since she was 10? over her shit...make her disappear. and yes im bitter, i had to clean her dog shit and listen to her cry daily for 3 months...you'd be bitter too.

    The same point I was trying to make yesterday. For a blog that is suppose to be about supporting women, The women here like to rip Paula down and believe "the man". Like there is no way Idol is evil? lol I not sure where all the hate comes for this woman? Is it because she's eccentric, She dares to live her life to beat of her own drummer, she's rich, she's pretty, she's a cheerleader?


    Everyone is so happy to say she drunk or on drugs. Does she have any DUI's or pictures of her drinking, or any credible proof that she does any of that? Seriously I'm asking. Because it seems if we are going to sit around and say things like this we should have some proof. Because seriously you sound as stupid as the people who say Obama wasn't born in America.


    This is why men say women are catty and nonsupportive of other women. It just reeks of nastiness.

    I love watching QVC..you need to be aware that everyone does not have the same taste as NYC or LA. I am sure that those ladies are going to buy Paula's jewelry with unsurpassed glee and excitement. Laugh if you want, but that Quacker Factory crap makes over 25 million!! For that income I would wear one of those sweaters in the the "Conde Nast" building, and ride the elevator with Anna Wintour!!

    It could also explain why we're talking about Paula Abdul in almost-2009. It's obviously part of the bigger plan.

    AI doesn't care if they exacerbate a mentally ill person's condition. Can I blame them for that? Well, not really, but I can blame them for not giving a flying Fig Newton about talent or quality of the contestants.


    Because all they care about is ratings. They don't care who they hurt in the process. Granted, you could say the same about a lot of TV shows, but AI seems especially gratuitous. And disingenuous as well.

    @lalaland13: Agreed. But at the same time, there's no gun to Paula's head forcing her to be on the show. Brian Dunkleman (first season co-host) has admitted that he didn't continue his job there because he couldn't stand what he was supposed to do or how mean-spirited the show was so he quit. Paula had a choice about being involved in the show. If she'd walked off that day and said "I am tired of how they exploit mentally ill people and I'm over it." she would have likely been sued but could have won the publicity war. Instead she sat there, took it and now whines about being victimized.
