Awards Shows
Paula Abdul Is the Woman of the Year?

Paula AbdulTaylor Hicks may be an "American Idol," but, apparently, Paula Abdul is Nevada's!

The former Laker Girl, choreographer and "A.I." judge has been named the Nevada Ballet Theater's 2007 "Woman of the Year."

The illustrious award honors luminaries of the stage and screen who have a special connection to dance and musical theater. Bickering with Simon Cowell is a plus.

Past "Woman of the Year' recipients include Megawatt A-list Hollywood super-duper stars like Rita Rudner, Chita Rivera and Carol Channing.

A rep for the Theater said Paula's "warm personality and talent have touched every aspect of the arts and entertainment world. Paula exemplifies the qualities we look for in an honoree."

We couldn't agree more. I mean, who doesn't admire glazed looks, incoherent outbursts and canoodling with contestants?!

Ms. Abdul, and all her fabulous womanhood, will be feted at the Ballet's annual Black and White Ball on January 27 at the Wynn Las Vegas.

32. She looks pregnant in that pic. She looks like a slob. The clothes she has on do no justice for her at all. Talk about strung out. Just look at her. That picture says 1000 words for itself. Hey Paula. have you heard of the gym?

37. friggin hypocrites. If they show nicole ritchie, everyone says she looks anorexic and should get a sandwich or whatever. They show a fuller chick and she looks fat. Seems that people are gonna complain about famous folks looks regardless.

39. Considering the pain she has suffered with her injuries, I think she looks great. I had the same problems at her age and trust me, pain that severe can make you look and feel older than you are in real time.Unless you have had to endure all of that, you can't begin to understand what she has managed to do. You never get over it and each day is a struggle. Keep going Paula, there are plenty of us out here who do understand. I know that speaking from many with the same problem would agree, that you are an inspiration.

41. When I think about it, Paula Abdul's award from the Nevada Ballet Theater is well deserved. I think about those exciting music videos she made in the '80s/90s during her peak of multi-platinum albums back to back. The dancing and choreography she did in them were dazzling as well as those she did for other artists at the time. It's had an influence on current artists like Ciara, Britney Spears, Beyonce, and others. I think that the people in that Nevada theatre have seen her videos, recent DVDs and anything on her thousands of times. Although it looks like Paula gained some weight judging from that picture, I don't even think of that. I wish that Paula would make a new album soon and regain her footing back in music.

43. I can't help myself, but I have to say it, in print or without. You are the nastiest bunch, and I wonder if any of you are "all that." But then, never mind, it is soo the American spirit, in reality. Way to go!!!

44. Geez some of you have got to get a life and stop hating so much. My goodness you're rank. Paula is a good human being. And the reason she got the award is because she deserves it based on her talent as a choreographer. She's recognized in the professional dance world as one of America's top choreographers. If you kept current with the arts, you would know this. Her choreography made Janice Jackson who she is today. Give credit where it is due. And stop calling names like babies. What are you 11 years old or something? Grow up and educate yourselves. And stop with the immature comments about her looks. Character is everything, not looks. And your manners and character need a lot of work. You should be so lucky to be as talented and kind as Paula is. Our entire family appreciates her for who she is. Try for one day to be as gracious as she is. Go on, try it.
