"she's clearly in her own
little Paula Abdul universe"
~ Retrokitten

The “American Idol” judge was incoherent on last night’s live telecast, bumbling lines and giggling like she’d just emerged from a Grateful Dead concert, leaving audiences, contestants and host Ryan Seacrest more confused than a homophobic Clay Aiken fan.

When Seacrest asked Abdul why two contestants received the fewest votes, she mumbled, head in hands, “Simon said because one of them ate pizza and the other ate salad.”

A shocked Seacrest responded, “You guys realize we’re on the air?”

Abdul got it together for a few minutes, but during the second round of cuts, she was back to her odd behavior.

“What did you tell me Simon?” she said, slurring her words. “What did you tell me? Simon gave me advice and said on “The X Factor” he always refers to a fortune cookie and says the moth who finds the melon - (laugher) - finds the corn flake always finds the melon and one of you didn’t pick the right fortune.”

Yeah. The Baltimore Sun’s Sarah Kickler Kelber says Paula should “shut up” and “should have reined it in last night.” PhillyBurbs.com’s Bob Bankard is more direct, saying “Paula is having some issues that Betty Ford needs to look at.” He writes that “it looks like most of America saw her apparently intoxicated act on live TV,” but also suggests she may have been high, writing, “It’s the munchies, baby — it’s all good.”

Palladin: There was also a link posted to some AI forum where someone wrote a lengthy complaint about her behavior. Was it you that posted that?

Our local radio stations also commented on her terrible behavior, and slurring of her words.

Thanks for the link, StrictTime!

“Simon said because one of them ate pizza and the other ate salad.”

You know, this comment actually does make sense, if you think about it. It simply means it was all up to luck, to chance, to the infintesimal difference because one ate pizza and one ate salad. In other words, who knows why? I remember when she said it and I understood it instantly, but then Ryan made a big deal out of it. Maybe because Seacrest is a little too slow to pick up on subtleties like that? ;o)
