Paula Abdul Leaves American Idol In Typically Poor Fashion
Paula Abdul, whoever that is, is leaving American Idol, whatever that is. Just kidding. I know who Paula Abdul is. She's the lady who popped out of the ink well on Scat Cat's song. And I've heard of American Idol. That's where Justin Guarini jokes come from. Anyway, goodbye Paula Abdul. You will be missed, I bet, by people who actually watch that awful show. From the Hollywood Reporter:
The "Idol" judge made the announcement on her Twitter feed:"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to 'Idol' ...I'll miss nurturing all the new talent,but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from Day 1 become an international phenomenon ... What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me ... It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month ... I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all."
Paula Abdul made an "important" announcement via five consecutive Tweets? UNSUBSCRIBE. I do like this remark in the AP article:
Her tweets, however, seemed to have an air of finality.
That's a sentence someone wrote. I'm sure the Pulitzer Prize committee is frantically sanding someone else's name off of a re-assigned medallion as we speak.
Whatever. Paula Abdul was super lame on that already pretty lame show. She provided completely weightless verbal pampering to children, and a target for Ryan Seacrest's limp jokes. Also she was on drugs. Constantly.
Nevertheless, this must be a difficult time for Paula right now. One can only imagine what she's going through. Well, that's not true. One can also watch what she is going through:
Where is God when you need him, because this does not make any sense. Right these guys? The children of Darfur will be praying for you, Paula.

"I'll miss nurturing all the new talent"
Can we put this on her tombstone?
Score = 6
Didn't she get in trouble for too much nurturing with a puerto rican justin guarini clone?
Score = 7
"Where is God when you need Him?"
He doesn't exist, because He committed suicide after seeing this.
Score = 5
She'll be back on Idol next year... as a chair.
Score = 10
Lay off Paula, you guys. SHE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE. She was really nice to me when I won the third season of "American Idol," especially that time when my cocaine ran out and she let me borrow hers.
Score = 7
I couldn't read the article after I saw the headline because my eyes were filled with tears. What a summer bummer. I guess all my undying support and enormous love wasn't enough...

Score = -2
WHAT WAS* she doing...
Score = 2
She was supposed to "design" their clothes. But she was fired. For timliness or some such. And for being Paula Abdul too much.
Score = 2
She spoke to the coke-addicted has-been in all of us.
Score = 5
This is actually good news for Paula, as it allows her more time to develop a sequel to her 1978 vehicle "Junior High School."
