Train Wrecks
What Was in Paula's Cup?

Did Paula Abdul have a few -- or several -- to help her get through the endless agony of listening to screeching "American Idol" contestants?

Last week, the "Idol" judge appeared on FOX stations to promote the show, and there was enough slurring, giggling, and wackiness to satisfy affiliates from Alabama to Washington; a condition Paula described as being in her "own little world." Then, last night on the season premiere of "Idol," we noticed that there was plenty of attention paid to Paula and her liquid consumption, and in one exchange with her colleagues, she conspicuously weaved to and fro.

So, was Paula in her own, booze-soaked "little world" again? You decide.

1. Are we all forgetting that Paula had an issues years back being adddicted to painkillers? Looks like she may have relapsed.

2. No booze in her cup last night. But pain pills were inside of her and thus her thirst was huge and she needed multiple gulps of water.

4. Pains pills.

My mother was an addict of Vicodin and other pain pills for years and died in 2003.

TRUST me those are pain pills talkin...

But , Paula is a former dancer, she's probably going to be on pills for the rest of her life , I doubt she's an addict

5. It seems to me she is on some sort of medication, but not booze. Again, she is coming across kinda weird. Either that or we are all crazy!!!

6. i agree with emilio. the thing with the fox news looked like she was just confused and people need to seriously let it go, but didn't she have a problem with pain medication before?

7. Someone NEEDS to step in and get this woman help ASAP!!! The people at American Idol need to intervene. Is she needed that badly on the show to pretend she does not have a problem?

8. C'mon Paula...loaded is as loaded does. Ya can't hide the fact "you're blasted outta yer head! It's OK. Contact Glenn Campbell re: excuses to flood media, that what we see, is an "illusion." George Michael is another guy (ah...gay) to call. Say something about Rosie & the donald, to deflect all this media scrutiny. If not, get wasted and enjoy. Right Emilio who?

9. It's about time everyone stops covering up for her. Admit what everybody else can see. But then again, watching her make a total boob of herself is good for ratings.

10. I watched the whole "it is what it is-Brilliance" fiasco here in Seattle and let me tell you-she was either-on it, full of it, rolling it, snorting it, or eating it" because girl was out of IT. Paula, get thee to rehab ASAP....Oh and to your "people" who say you were miked to Birmingham and Seattle-shame on yall.

12. So is she kind of acting like Anna Nicole Smith??

13. She is embarrassing herself! I can't believe they let her go on like that. She is slouching around all over herself and her eyes are half shut, yet she can't sit still and slurred speech. No doubt it's pain pills! She needs to get it together, looks like a serious problem!

14. Did she really say she takes being a "role model" seriously? I guess she forgot that hit and run incident.

15. Drunk or pilled out.
