Train Wrecks
Paula's On... TV

Paula Abdul's press tour to promote the new season of "American Idol" spun out of control today when she landed in the Pacific Northwest.

Paula's curious "appearance" on Seattle's Q13 FOX Morning News took a fast nose dive as the pint-sized Idol judge slurred and giggled her way through the interview.

Anchors Lily Jang and Carmen Ainsworth kept it together as Abdul bobbed and weaved for the camera.

For what it's worth, Paula's rep tells TMZ that it is "much ado about nothing." He says the station had "technical problems with the satellite and her sound was dropped not once but twice. Paula was in a small room by herself with only a cameraman. Paula was distracted and confused by the station dropping the sound. She did not know what was going on."

Clearly.

46. Paula is on drugs. That much is apparent. She needs intervention - from her family - or from those who puportedly care fore her before she ruins what remains of her career. Rehabilitation at Betty Ford Clinic is one possible option. Otherwise she can get the John Lennon album with "cold turkey" on it and do just that, but that takes balls!.

47. Paula is an addict...plain and simple..she even says she will be twitching and losing it if this show continues on and she is still a judge when she gets older. I really don't like how she suggests Simon wants her old stretched out skanky crotch. She wishes. She never did have any talent...look at her old high school photo...google it...she is one ugly mess.

She needs to disappear or I will not watch AI...this is not a threat...it is a promise.

49. I wonder how many more seasons her handlers will come up with explanations for this behavior.

Having been married to an alcoholic for many years, it's either alcohol, drugs, or both. Simple as that.

Yoohoo...handlers? Get thee to Al Anon meetings. You're codependent and not helping the woman or the show. And you're sure as HELL not fooling the fans.

51. The problem with PR people is they want you to not to believe what your eyes are seeing. Just listen to us we'll tell you what you really saw! Eat Sh*t!

54. Ok, I am speaking from experience here as a recovering alcoholic/addict; the woman is wasted, looks like it's most likely on alcohol, at least in the vid clip.
I found it disturbing to watch.
Like someone else said, girlfriend needs to get to rehab.

57. Didn't she at one time have talent. I guess not she must be another one of the digital effects queens.Simon's a fag,the show sucks and so does she.

58. Wow! I'm not sure what to say. It also seems as though she may have someone in the room with her...she keeps looking to the left..almost as if someone may be trying to talk to her there. The whole thing is a bit weird.

59. She was acting the same way for the SF audience. What a much more exciting media tour then the usual bored celeb. repeating the same answers ad nauseaum. But shouldn't her reps. at least admit she'd been drinking or something to loosen up? Otherwise I'm left with the impression Paula Abdul either smokes crack or she's a barely functioning mental patient who's made it suprisingly far. So what's really going on here? Straight up now tell me.....

60. Here we go again. It's just like being in the AI chat room! If Paula was really "on Drugs", she would have been booted from the show a LONG time ago. Do any of you really think the "powers that be" on AI, would let her go on each week high as a kite? the answer to that is a big h*ll NO! She is just a ditz, plain and simple. Quit trying to make it more than what it is!!
