Paula's On... TV

Posted Jan 12th 2007 2:59PM by TMZ Staff

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.

78. If I had to hang with Simon and Randy and listen to those freaks that think they can sing, I'd get ripped too.

79. Does anyone think she could have Parkinson's disease?? She's all twitchy and slurring her words...I feel bad if that's the case, so don't condemn Paula before you all know the truth. I hope she'll be ok, she just seems like such a nice person...oh yeah for the dope who thinks she's ugly, go get your eyes examined, Paula is very pretty and also very talented!

81. C'mon you people... Danny Devito is drunk and foolish on the View after being up all night on a drunk and its cute, but Paula does the same thing and she needs intervention? so none of you ever drink? None of you haven't shown up for work a little worse for wear? Nothing like reading a bunch of hypocrites. I never even watch AI and don't plan to but most of you guys need to look in the mirror

82. Paula is DRUNK or stoned. This is the 3rd time I have seen her on TV recently and she has been "out there" every other time too. Quit making excuses for her. She's stoned.

83. Paula is most certainly wasted. Please forgive her, public, hearing all those dream-catchers can drive anyone to drink. Have another one, honey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

85. I watch American Idol for the new talent, to see what Simon says and to see if Paula is drunk and throwing herself at the young men.

86. Ok! So what she was not herself, Paula I'll join you for a drink anyday still classy in my books.

87. What kwap...ask yourself - do you weave around and slur your words when you're "tired"? Paula better make sure she has an iron-clad contract with Idol - or is that part of the problem - does she think she can do whatever she wants and NOT get canned? Some people spin out of control when their lives are going TOO well. Very strange.

88. Paula has to take meds for her back...hence, why she acts like that. Watch any of the other videos...it has nothing to do with her being drunk or on drugs.

89. Listen friends, paula has rsd it a terrible disease look it up at rsd.org or paula abdoul rsd you cant not be on drugs for this disease its the number one cronic pain disease in the world i know i live with this monster in my body everyday. i give her credit for trying to get into life and live it. i speak and move l
just like her everyday. i understand please inform yourselves about this disease you wont jump to conclusions so fast.

90. folks, any one with rsd must be on heavy duty drugs or any cronic pain condition. Its easy for all of us to joke and laugh and want to mock people but sometimes behind the laugh its no jokeing matter. i encourage all persons commenting to look up rsd before you make a joke of this clip. living in pain is like living in hell. i have a friend with rsd who acts simular to paula at times i understand the slured speach and uncontrolable movement read up you wont be laughing so hard
