Check out Paula Abdul’s big-time excuse making on this morning’s Ryan Seacrest show. You can read a transcript of her interview at Entertainment Weekly.She claims that she and the judges only found out about the show setup–that the critiques would wait until after the second round–when Ryan announced it at the top of the show. Geez, the judges should start reading my blog. I knew it at 6:30 ET. Our weekly rehearsal reporter, Caffiend, told me on the phone after she left the CBS studios. I posted that bit of info on the blog. Meanwhile, Paula claims she was in the studio with her family for part of the dress rehearsal.
She also keeps insisting that she mixed up Jason’s Castro’s review with David Cook’s, and that she read “second song” off her notes due to the confusion caused when head of Reality Programming, Mike Darnell, supposedly ordered Nigel Lythgoe, at the last minute, to march the contestants out on stage for an impromptu post-first round critique.

Apologies for the clip. The sound is out of sync, but it’s worth watching anyway. Simon Cowell’s girlfriend Terri Seymour asks him who he thinks will pull off Mariah Carey week. Yes, this coming week Mariah Carey will be the mentor, and the theme is HER SONGS and only her songs. YIKES!
Anyway. Simon tells Terri that he thinks it’s a real opportunity for Carly Smithson. Terri then spills the beans. She tells Simon that Carly told her that she’s planning on performing the song he suggested for her in an interview.
Carly will be singing Mariah Carey’s “Without You”.
Carly: PLEASE LOVE ME DADDY! Maybe Simon will finally be pleased with Carly and she’ll be a happy, happy girl at last.
Oh, and Paula has a suggestion for the boys if they want to hit those high notes. But you have to check out the video And take the poll! after the jump. Oh that Paula!

Reader and comment regular CarieB attended the taping of Paula Abdul’s video for her new song, “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow”, from Randy Jackson’s upcoming album Randy Jackson’s Music Club, Vol. 1. The video will debut during the Super Bowl pre-game show next Sunday.
Well, it looks like Pauler is up to her usual divatastic ways. Carie never got to see the taping. Here’s part of a comment she left in Sunday’s headlines post.
Just returned from the taping of Pauler’s new song with Randy’s band at Fox Studios. Guess what? I never got to see it. As it turned out, I invested 6 hours of my precious weekend time to stand outside in the rain, then wait in a room with a hundred other people with no seats for 4-1/2 hours, finally not being able to tolerate the looks on my kids faces, so we left.
Every once in awhile, someone would come in and say it would only be “15 more minutes”, each time it took longer and longer for anyone to even come back and say anything to us. No food. No water. You get the picture.
They had us get there at 11:30 and then we heard Paula didn’t get there until 1:00. Of course, there’s hair and makeup, and staging, choreography, lighting checks, etc.. When we finally left at 4:00, Paula hadn’t even run through her routine herself - it had only been done with a stand in and the backup dancers.
Damn. I owe you one Carie…

Check out Paula Abdul’s new song, “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow. Whaddaya think? It’s a cut from Randy Jackson’s forthcoming compilation album that also includes a duet from Elliott Yamin and Katharine McPhee.
Rumor has it, that the video for the single, or Paula singing it live, or something…will be premiering at the Super Bowl in two weeks.
Hmmm….the song is generic. Typically over-processed vocals. Not impressed…
Thanks jadore…

TV Guide Reports an “exclusive”:
Straight up now tell me, did you ever think you’d read that headline again in your lifetime? Me, neither. But it’s true. A tipster in close proximity to Abdul’s inner circle tells me that the American Idol judge, who hasn’t released an album of new material since 1995’s Head Over Heels, is in talks to perform — no, not on Idol’s next ’90s theme night — during the network’s Super Bowl XLII telecast!It gets better. (No, not a cameo by MC Scat Cat.) According to my source, the onetime Laker Girl is already in rehearsals for the video to her duet with Randy Jackson, the first single from his upcoming Music Club Vol. 1 CD. If the Super Bowl deal goes through, she would likely use the same choreography during her Feb. 3 Astroturf comeback. (Fox Sports declined comment.)
Holy Crap! Trainwreck or Comeback? What do you think?

ETA: This guy auditioned in front of the producers today. He blew it when he admitted to Nigel Lythgoe that he knew he couldn’t sing, but was auditioning because he wanted to be on the show. Dumbass.
Second and third-round auditions are taking place at the W hotel in Dallas this weekend:
The American Idol frenzy continues in Dallas – this time at the luxurious W Hotel. Hundreds of second-round contestants showed up at the Victory Park hotel Thursday morning to audition for the show’s executive producers.
An Idol publicist said those “few hundred” contestants would be whittled down to an unspecified number. Contestants who then make it to the third round will audition sometime this weekend in front of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.
All three are reportedly scheduled to arrive in Dallas today, though Idol would not release details on when. Auditions will take place throughout the weekend at the W Hotel.

Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell were in Philadelphia, PA this weekend for the first set of 3rd round auditions. When asked by the press during the lunch break what he thought of the talent he had seen so far, Simon Cowell said,
“A lot of the auditions are …the equivalent of eating water for lunch – it doesn’t leave you with anything,” Simon told reporters Saturday afternoon, reaching into his bag of similes for one that’s not likely to strike a chord in a city known for fattier fare.
If I were a little ambitious this morning, I could go back through my archives and show you similar quotes from last year, and the year before. That’s Simon’s shtick–telling reporters the talent is crap. Remember Simon unloading on Seattle last year? In the end, Seattle turned out both the winner and runner-up (Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis). ]
C’mon people, we need some new material here!
Randy, Paula and Simon will continue to audition hopefuls throughout September and October.

The last of the “cattle call” Season 7 auditions took place in Philadelphia, PA this week. According to American Idol producer Patrick Lynn, there was a “monster turnout.” at Wachovia Stadium. “Three times the size it had been anywhere else,” Lynn says. Philadelphia is not only the last audition city, but also the only tourstop in the Northeast. All in all, 20,000 people turned out to audition, the largest turnout in Idol history according to Idol publicists.
Anthony Fedorov worked the crowds at the audition for the local FOX affiliate. Also on hand were Kimberly Caldwell for TV Guide and Constantine Maroulis. According to Kimberly, tryouts in front of the producers are taking place at a secret location Wednesday and Thursday. Auditions in front of Randy, Paula and Simon will take place Saturday and Sunday.
Producer Lynn says, “Philadelphia is the turnaround city, so you’re lucky to be getting all the judging done in one week. In the other cities, we’ve just done the first round preliminaries and so we’ll be revisiting those towns after Philly.” The judges rounds with Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell, will continue through the second week of October.

In last week’s episode, Paula Abdul becomes hysterical when she receives an email from the Bratz movie producers telling her that they no longer need her services. This Page 6 item cites a “source” that says, “Paula was not ever really a part of the movie, and she was a nightmare to deal with. There was no way that was going to work.”
However, Paula’s peeps tell US Magazine that she was not fired from the Bratz movie, but left on her own due to scheduling conflicts. As far the Bravo footage? Her peeps say, “Very creative editing.” O rilly?
This week’s clips of breakdowns and hissy-fits has Paula giving her hair stylist and “best friend” the authority to re-decorate her rental house, then TOTALLY flipping out when she finally sees it. Mind you, she could have met with the designer herself in order to impart her “vision” but she choose to go to an Oscar swag party instead. Here is an old item that I found in the TWOP’s Hey Paula forum thread:

Paula Abdul finds out that the Bratz movie folks “no longer need her services.” That’s the first meltdown in this week’s episode. Next, there is a huge snowstorm on the East coast, and Paula gets stranded in Philadelphia for a day on her way to NYC for a Letterman appearance. When she finds out that her producer and hair stylist cannot book a flight in from LA, she basically goes postal on her staff. At the end of the clip, her new assistant wonders if she is “the right person for Paula.”
Paula really thinks this stuff is going to enhance her image? It’s a good thing the ratings aren’t very good.
