Paula Abdul: Straight Up Herself

abdulpaula.jpg
Paula Abdul’s come under heavy fire in recent days.

As we all know, the American Idol host kind of screwed up last week when she misspoke and said she had heard both of Jason Castro’s songs when, in fact, he had only performed one.

Well, Colin Schoenberger of NewNowNext recently spoke with the entertainer and got to the bottom of how the snafu went down. We would go into the details, but it’s complicated and, quite frankly, not as interesting as this:

…People talk about Madonna being the queen of reinvention – and while I applaud her – I don’t know anyone who’s reinvented themselves more than me, and created monumental, ginormous success in completely different areas of the industry. And that’s something nobody’s done – not in our generation and not that anyone I’ve been reading up since I was a little girl. I don’t know anyone who started below the line and became – first of all, a cheerleader, and then revolutionizing cheerleading – and then became one of the most world-celebrated choreographers.

Abdul later discusses Idol castoff Danny Noriega, who she says she “fought” for because “this kid is needed – especially Danny- because he is very open about being gay.”

What do you think of this post?

she is absolutely right and you know why she keeps having huge success in different areas? because she has the X factor! she was born to be a star and when you are, you just cant bring that person down! well you can bring her down, but she will always come back =)

The world couldn’t have possibly survived had it not been for Paula’s cheerleading revolution.

Did David Hernandez ever actually confirm he is gay? Last time I saw him on TV he was being coy and playing it down. No doubt now, though, as Paula just outed him. Nice going, Paula.

I think that singer/actress/choreographer Toni Basil, who started her career in 1964 and is still working, has got Paula beat.

Yeah, because there’s really a giant leap between choreography and cheerleading. It must have taken a lot of courage to ‘reinvent’ herself from being a cheerleader to being a choreographer …

(Sarcasm, by the way!)

It is always interesting to hear stories like this one. Danny was an imspiration to others.

Abdulaturd became retarded after getting fucked by Arsenio Hall. It is sad and pathetic but true.

In 1987, her twat fell off and had to be re-sewn back to her uterus.
They had to use part of her asshole to strengthen
her obtuse vagina. Now she pisses where she use
to shit and shits where she use to pee.

No Shit!
Straight Up!
