What Was in Paula's Cup?

16. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL MORNING FOR SOMEONE TO BRING THIS UP!!
Paula was tore up!!!! Alcohol?Prescription drugs? your guess is as good as mine,
I was waiting for her to fall off her chair!! She has been trying to damage control for the interviews she's had, when all she is doing is adding fuel to the fire!! I kept looking at her instead of paying attention to the auditions!! I mean it is funny to watch, WE ALL LOVE A TRAIN WRECK!!! MY GIRL WAS GOING CHOOOO CHOOO!!! LAST NIGHT, LOL, FUNNY AS HELL, I HOPE SHE IS PUTTING HER MONEY AWAY.... FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS SHE JUST MIGHT GET THE BOOT!!!

17. I think a better question is: when ISN'T Paula drunk?

19. I agree with lily (# 11). Hope Paula is fine and just enjoying herself along with good ratings.

21. What I was looking at is someone who maybe be Manic, she can't sit still, her words are coming out fast and they get jumbled because of her manic state. I don't drink I dont take drugs and I can sometimes act the same way when I am manic.

22. It probaly hit her that had she been a contestant on Idol in her prime she would have been laughed off stage.hence the need to booze it up occassionally,live on tv.

23. It won't be long before Simon loses all of his patience with this obviously intoxicated broad. She looks like sh*t and is incoherent 99.99% of the time while on camera (and 100% while off camera).

Com'on, Simon, spare us her bullsh*t and fire her ass. She apparently doesn't give a sh*t about her gig or about what America thinks. Lose her and please please do it fast!!! Trump can then let her run in one his pageants (as the red carpet, where she'd be sprawled). We all know he has a sweet spot for wasted floozies, so be done with it - JUST GET RID OF THE DRUNK LOSER!.

24. Did you all notice that the other judges didn't really even noitce Paula's behavior? They are so used to it I'm sure...plus they probably all have a little something in their coke cups.

25. She was absolutely booze-housed last night. Total mess! I almost felt sorry for her, but then not so much.

27. i am probably one of three people in the whole world who don't get into AI. never have, it's no biggie. but even I will admit i watched it the other night SOLELY to watch PA make an @$$ of herself! it was hilarious!! she was wasted on something and i'm willing to bet it's probably prescription drugs. what a hoot! i'll keep watching it just to see if she falls out of her chair at some point and then to read some LUDICROUS statement from her publicist about how she was distracted by voices in her head or something........

28. Paula was NOT acting drunk. She was acting exactly like Anna Nicole Smith on PILLS. They must have the same Doc. Did anyone catch Paula on gooddayLA?

29. I find it very strange that Paula can get away with this behavior over and over, And especially on a show targeted at young viewers. This is ridiculous. If this is how Paula will act once again this year, my daughter will not be watching.

Surely they could get another judge who hasn't made a record in years, to come in and fight with Simon and give better answers than "I Pass". What is wrong with the producers? I think having guest judges is great, except that Jewell had no clue how to "judge"...obviously she didn't like anyone really, and wanted to say so, but was constantly waiting to hear from Randy. I think the guest judges should disagree when they want to.

I guess that having people talk about Paula helps Idol's publicity---tthe producers think. But it doesn't really...the fact that so many people who interview her notice her being incoherant is sad, really sad.
She needs help and they need a different woman judge...

I agree, I wish she would come out and tell us what is going on with her health.
