Paula Abdul, Drunk as she wanna be

Paula Abdul just can't seem to distance herself from scandal.
Last season, an offscreen relationship with an "American Idol" contestant put her at the center of an internal investigation at Fox. This season, her behavior on live broadcasts of "Idol" is fueling constant unflattering speculation.
And fans have noticed.
"She did not seem to be 'with it' at all," wrote one viewer of Abdul at the realityTVworld.com message board yesterday. "Does she just not care about this competition anymore?"
"Her comments are getting less and less relevant as the show goes on," wrote another.
A few weeks ago, Abdul explained the elimination of two contestants this way: "Simon said because one of them ate pizza and the other ate salad."
Later in the show, her comments became even more esoteric.
"Simon gave me advice and said on [U.K. show] 'The X Factor' he always refers to a fortune cookie and says the moth who finds the melon finds the cornflake always finds the melon and one of you didn't pick the right fortune," she said.
Abdul's spokeswoman Michelle Bega called the speculation about Abdul's physical state on the show "lies and sensationalism." Bega said that constant battering on the message boards and speculation in the press is "harmful and hurtful to an individual such as Paula who is nothing but a lovely and talented woman who is just doing her job."
Sources close "Idol" yesterday dismissed an Us Weekly report that angry producers were looking to replace Abdul with Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson, and also nixed

Last year Paula claimed her behavior was because she was finally pain free after years of chronic back pain and she was "Just so excited about it" Now this year she is slurring, incohearent and all her publicist can come up with is..."Gee, those comments are mean" well I got news for you flacky, those comments aren't coming from the magazines, their coming from people watching the show and watching this drugged out incohearent mess of a woman week after week. Our personal favorite Paula-ism is the fact that she is so botoxed that noghint above her bottom lip moves anymore and her eye hangs half closed. I know you want to fight father time Paula, but ease up on the Paralox injections. Oh, and while you're at it, stop clapping like a 10 year old girl who has wet nails.
