Hey, Paula! Rosie Strikes Again
Rosie O'Donnell's out with a new blog post and that can only mean one thing—someone's on her diss list.
And that someone is Paula Abdul.
The erstwhile Queen of Nice first noted the American Idol's oddball behavior during a segment of ABC's The View back in January; now, O'Donnell devoted her twisted poetics to Abdul's train wreck of a reality series, Bravo's Hey Paula!
right now
paula abdul would yell action
and the result would be
what we all see
there are times
u r so broken
fragile
pain filled
love less
desperate
raw
vulnerable
needy
hey paula
we cringe
at r selves
thru u
O'Donnell first began cringing publicly at Abdul after Idol premiered this season. During a day-after post-mortem of the Fox reality contest on The View, O'Donnell laid into Abdul and fellow judges Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell for mocking a contestant's physical appearance. Then O'Donnell suggested the "Straight Up" singer was "probably intoxicated."
"Paula was very thirsty last night. Did anyone else notice?" she quipped. "Every [camera] shot, that woman was sipping the 'Coca-Cola' in her cup. And towards the end of the show, one eye was wandering."
Calls to Abdul's Bravo reps seeking comment were not returned. But the 44-year-old Idol judge and long-ago Grammy winner has steadfastly denied that her sometimes strange behavior stems from drug or alcohol use, claiming instead that she suffers from a neurological disorder that causes chronic pain.
She has also stated that she was battling exhaustion while shooting Hey Paula, which contributed to her zoned-out antics.
O'Donnell, however, doesn't seem to believe Abdul, as she writes in her July 19 blog entry:
hey paula
should merge with INTERVENTION
like when the jetsons met the flintstones
that would b compelling tv
In message board posting on O'Donnell's site, one reader expressed concern about Abdul's health.
"I am sad whenever I watch Hey Paula. I am sadder when I see no one helping this woman," wrote a poster named Barbara. "Can you help her? Everyone else seems to think she is incoherent due to lack of sleep. I do not think this is so."
"I don't either," replied O'Donnell.
