She looks tired like all hell in that performance. She would need the painkillers after that.

I think we should all vote for Paula. You know that's what she really wants. But then Kara would get jealous and sing over Paula's auto-tuner just to show that bitch who's boss. Hey Kara! I got 5 words for you-- go home!

This really is kind of sad, honestly.

uncbare, I agree. I called bullsh*t in the last posting when it was reported that she detoxed over Thanksgiving. There are so many conflicting stories that it's hard to know what's the truth.

And after watching Hey, Paula, I have really just felt sorry for her. She has no clue how to conduct herself in public and genuinely seems bewildered by the public's reaction to her ramblings and antics, not mention her clothing choices and that damn jewelry.

It really is as sad as Brit-Brit. Too bad she doesn't have a Kentwood to retreat to for R&;R. Paula'll never gain any peace or perspective in LA.

really?

Paula A on drugs you say?

wow a 40 something white ..er hispanic woman on pain medication...imagine that

oh excuse me..on a pain patch more powerful than morphine..

all with a "legal prescription"???

really? was she like in a skiing accident and lost both of her legs? How can she stand beingin such pain ??

wait?..Paula isn't on drugs..is just acting goofy as all shit on tv? Could she just be an aged "jorbacca"??

really

the next thing you'll say is Paula doesn't lipsync.

Paula was specifically quoted in the article as follows:

"I could have killed myself.... Withdrawal -- it's the worst thing," she says. "I was freezing cold, then sweating hot, then chattering and in so much pain, it was excruciating. But at my very core, I did not like existing the way I had been."

If she did say those words, what could she have been talking about besides a withdrawal from drugs? Freezing cold mixed with hot flashes and pain - was she talking about hitting menopause? In Alaska?

And if she didn't say that, if the reporter completely made the quote up, Paula should sue Ladies Home Journal and add the settlement money to the royalties that are sure to come rushing in once "Here for the Music" is released to an eagerly awaiting public. Although she may have to split that money with the Mac Pro that actually sang the song.

But Paula has a problem here. Would you rather confess to a drug addiction or admit that you married Emilio Estevez while sober? I'd go for the "stoned out of my mind" defense, myself.

And let me just say - I love Paula on AI. She's funny, endearing and always entertaining to watch. I could watch her come in and out of the addiction closet all day. Bring on the crazy, girlfriend!

Is it wrong of me to say I'd still take advantage of her while shes loopy?

Paula Abdul is a mess.

Paula is saying that she never made those statements to “Ladies Home Journal”. I may almost give her the benefit of the doubt if she said that I never made those statements to the “National Enquirer” or some other rag publication. But Ladies Home Journal?????? Gimme a break. They are not exactly a publication that has a reputation for exaggeration or sensationalizing stories. What’s next - is Ladies Home Journal going to lie about the calorie count of a supposedly low cal split pea soup? Pauler is just pathetic. She’s a drunken pill popper who can barely get out a coherent statement unless someone scripts it out for her. GIMMEE A FREAKIN BREAK!!!!

"If she did say those words, what could she have been talking about besides a withdrawal from drugs? Freezing cold mixed with hot flashes and pain - was she talking about hitting menopause? In Alaska?"

tee hee
