Culture: So you think you can leave, Paula? Abdul could “Dance”

  • She was like my best buddy on the show. You only realize how much you miss somebody when you’re not there.
  • Simon Cowell • Discussing the departure of his onscreen foil, Paula Abdul, from “American Idol.” Word on the street is that rival show “So You Think You Can Dance” may be interested in what Abdul has to offer. She’s a multihyphenate – “Dance” producer Nigel Lythgoe said no one could match her “experience of being a dancer, of being a choreographer and of being a judge.” Either way, we have to imagine Abdul’s star power isn’t as bright as that of “Idol.” • source

  • Alert! Alert! There is a chance that Paula Abdul might not return to American Idol, and Twitter is *not* happy about that. Since rumors began swirling that her contract negotiations could go bust, “#keeppaula” has been hovering on and off the trending list. At one point it sat at No. 2, right behind “#indonesiaunite.” Err, is that a good thing or a bad thing? source

Culture: Paula Abdul: She got fooled by Bruno, didn’t even realize it

  • Sacha Baron Cohen is working hard. Between Ron Paul and this amazingly funny trailer, dude has been trying his best to make his newest movie just as funny as “Borat.” Now comes word that “Bruno” has successfully clawed in “American Idol” judge Paula Abdul, who apparently has no idea she was fooled by the over-the-top gay Austrian journalist. Sweet! source
