Rumours going around the nets, that Paula Abdul maybe pissed off at Ellen replacing her at American Idol. Turns out, she isn’t.
Paula wrote on her official Twitter page that she wishes Ellen luck and says positive things about Ellen.

Paula Abdul out, Ellen is in!
While Ellen is not a musician or a singer, she is a music lover and loves listening to music herself.
She broke the news herself exclusively on her talk show.

Not a bad replacement actually. I like Ellen, she’s nice, smart, and funny too. They obviously got her hoping to keep up the ratings. Ellen’s not an annoying loudmouth like Rosie O’ Donnell.

ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” has already asked Paula Abdul to either be a judge or a contestant on this talent dance show.
Variety Reports:

Paula will probably go for the judge since it pays more. Since Paula wanted 10 million a year on “Idol”, DWTS will probably give her that deal that she wanted in order to get her to say “yes” to get on the show.

The world of the internets is going crazy over the news that Paula Abdul has decided to quit, American Idol.
I don’t see her leaving TV anytime soon. She’ll probably get asked to be the 4th judge on “America’s Got Talent” to join David Hasselhoff, Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne. Or Paula get asked to be a judge on “Dancing with the Stars” or whatever talent show out there. Or Paula could get her own talk show or maybe do some acting on TV shows/films.
Paula Abdul used to be a huge 80’s pop music icon when she did the music business back in her time. Maybe she has plans to do the music again. Maybe she has plans to record a new album and do a tour?
When I was a kid, I used to listen to her music all the time. She should do a tour where she would sing her classic hits, her songs like “Straight Up”, “Opposites Attract”, “Cold Hearted”, etc.
I don’t care if she goes back to her music career since I don’t care for that type of music anymore, but she should stop doing TV and go back to music. People see her as a music artist, not a TV star.

Although, Paul Rodgers parted ways with Queen, it is no surprise to me that the band is going to keep going and look for a replacement singer. It seems that they have already found someone. Adam Lambert, the American Idol loser. Adam performed “We Are the Champions” with Queen along with Kris Allen on the Idol finale. Brian May seems to be impressed with Adam as well and already asked him to join the band. It seems that Adam is definitely game in joining up.

I never watched this season’s Idol, but after seeing Adam perform for the first time in my eyes, Adam is actually not that bad. Almost sounding close to Freddie Mercury, so I can see why Brian would want him.
I’m no Idol fan anymore, but this is a phenonemal performance. I love it!
Would I want an Idol star fronting one of the biggest rock bands in the world? I’m sure the die hard Queen fans are hating on this idea, but I’d say go for it. Give a young star an opportunity instead of all these old has beens!!!

America is using common sense and getting a reality check, that there is nothing important about them Obama celebrations. The new season of “Idol” got 22.4 viewers while the “Inaugural Ball’s” got 12.6 viewers.

While I’m no fan of “American Idol” anymore like I used to be, I don’t watch the show anymore, but it’s great to see that they rather watch that instead of Obama celebrating his presidency all damn day.

Uh oh. Paula Abdul is pretty pissed off at the “American Idol” producers because she is blaming the death of Paula Goodspeed, her longtime stalker, on the producers of the hit TV show. She is blaming “American Idol” for feuling Goodspeed’s obsession with Abdul which led her to her suicide in front of Abdul’s home. Abdul requested to the producers to not let Goodspeed audition for Season 5 but the producers let Goodspeed audition anyways, even though Abdul tried to explain to them she had been her stalker for years. Paula Goodspeed have been an obsessive fan of Paula Abdul since Abdul’s pop music career back in the 80’s.
Reports have been saying that Abdul have been pretty upset over Goodspeed’s death, Abdul couldn’t sleep at night because of it and she is planning on moving to a new home.
Is this a big sign that Paula Abdul could quit being a judge of the popular show and could she sue “American Idol”?
More on it here:
I too blame it all on “American Idol”. People think “American Idol” is full of good and talented people but honestly, the show has brought out a lot of crazy people and whackos. The auditions prove that.
I think the only reason “A.I.” let Goodspeed audition for Season 5 was just so Goodspeed can have the opportunity to get closer to Abdul face to face.

A woman was found dead near the home of the American Idol judge, Paula Abdul. The woman appeared to be an obsessive fan of Paula and she is also in her 30’s. TMZ says the woman was a contestant for American Idol Season 5. Speculation that the body found was Paula Goodspeed who seems to have a lesbian crush on Abdul but the body hasn’t been officially identified yet.

And plenty more on the story at TMZ as well.

I hardily ever like any of the singers on American Idol in the past, but David Cook is actually really great. He is a good choice for a winner. He’s got a good range and perfect voice for rock music. Since I didn’t watch this year’s Idol, I’ve been in youtbe watching David Cook’s performances. I think I’m sold to this guy, he’s pretty impressive. Watch out Chris Daughtry, Cook could be the next big rock star. Finally, Idol picked a good choice!
Check out a few videos below.
P.S. In the “Baba O’ Reilly” video is that David Cook using one of Eddie Van Halen’s customized amps? 🙂
