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.

61. Why do i get the feeling that something is medically wrong with Paula? In the past, before Teri Garr and Annette Funicello were diagnosed with MS-everyone thought that they were drinking - I hope this is not the case - i just don't think the producers would allow her to continue like this is if it is pills or alcohol. Maybe she is afraid of losing this job and that is why the spin has been " she had trouble with her ear piece" during the interviews this week and last week! I hope all works out for her -

64. I don't think she was drunk necessarily, but I've seen enough people on painkillers, being a nurse, and yes shes' displaying all the classic signs. Could be because of a chronic pain condition, if so I am very sorry for her---if not, she needs help. She's a beautiful, talented, sweet person and I wish the best for her.

68. Judy, Judy, Judy... post #67.....

Come on.... why do dumb sh*ts like you, protect these skanky celebs??? I am all about feeling badly for people's misfortunes, but I would believe Paula's troubles, if she would stick with the same story.

On Jan.10th, Abdul's spokesman, Jeff Ballard, denied that she was under the influence of alcohol or on some kind of medication and said the U.S. performer never drank. She was "exhausted." Then he (again, Paula's own spokesperson) said, "she had a sore throat after sitting in the chilly studio on Thursday."

Sore throats are caused by a virus or straining of the voice... not chilly studios.

Paula has joined the same ranks as Lindsey Lohan.. remember just two teeny weeny little weeks ago, Lindsay had an appendix operation.... MIRACLE of MIRACLES... healed and in REHAB today.

So, Judy, before you start telling someone to look up something, and then insulting them with profanity.....try running to a dictionary and learn how to spell!! Educate yourself and get those stars out of your eyes.

Now run off to bed... I believe it is your bedtime.

69. Ahhh, lovin' born blonde! Remember this too Judge Judy. O'Douls =non-alcoholic. Abdul= pure alcoholic. Too bad chronic pain doesn't keep you from typing. Shut your pie hole!

70. Either Paula drank Who Dat beer, Duran Coffee or Super Malta or all of the above. Her own little world.Get it?

71. Does she have what Michael J. Fox has? Parkinson? Maybe she does and she doesn't want to admit it. She's at "that age" when it kicks in.

72. She is definitely on painpills. what is weird is, she is rubbing her nose/face and, what that is, is an allergic reaction to pain medication. She is high but she's uncomfortable.

73. Oh my F***king god....watching the tryouts would want me to have some kind of cocktail to deal with the contestants who think they can sing....I got a headache listening to some of the wannabe contestants...and some of them had over supportive parents and friends who still egged on so called "singers" who should probably look elsewhere for a source of income. The months of auditioning would make a heavy drinker out of any sane person driven to the drink hearing screaming, screeching and the screaming that some think qualifies them as singers. YIKES!!
