Paula: "In My Own Little World"

Posted Jan 16th 2007 5:13PM by TMZ Staff

In one of her more or less coherent moments, Paula Abdul defended her wacky appearance on a Seattle morning show last week.

A calm and collected Abdul told Ellen DeGeneres that there were "two cities in my ear...I'm answering Birmingham answers but it's airing in Seattle's morning show, so it looked like I was just in my own little world." Her constant slurring and giggles were apparently meant for Alabama and not Washington.

Abdul went on to say that the only reason so much attention came of it was because she's on a #1 show, adding that she "takes my being a role model very seriously." Role model? Sounds like she's drifted back into her "own little world" again!

2. that's a good story, but false.

I just think she accidently over medicated herself and was sitting on a swivel chair, which we all know is fun to do.

10. The story she told on Ellen is not the same story her publicists released. They said it was because Paula was tired, and that there were multiple cameras in the room -- hence the swiveling. Of course this is not the first time Paula has exhibited this type of behavior. And it's public knowledge that Paula frequently medicates herself. I'm tired of people covering for her unusual conduct.

11. I def. don't think she was drunk. It looked more like a pill or coke thing to me, Her jaw looked like it was crooked. But, anyway....all I gotta say about it is "damn" that interview was only a little over 2 min. long. She couldn't wait for 2 min.?? then pop em or do a rail??? .Geez. Talk about the fiends be feining!.

13. That is such bull. She was looped on her San Francisco interview of the same morning. It's insulting to our intelligence when they try to make lame excuses.
