Paula Abdul’s Not-So-Secret Plan

Rumor has it, according to the National Enquirer, that Paula Abdul is “secretly” planning to launch her own talk show, whether TPTB at American Idol meet her 10 million dollar salary demands or not.
My question, is, why would Paula need a “secret plan”? I mean, if she is negotiating a new contract and looking to double her salary to 10 million dollars, wouldn’t she want TPTB at Idol to think that she’s in demand?
Of course she would. That’s why her peeps planted the item in the first place!
According to the Enquirer:
The 46-year-old entertainer has been in talks with CBS/Paramount Network Television about developing the show à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ and sources say it could make its debut as early as next year.
à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Paulaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s been dreaming about having her own talk show for three years, and sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s ready to make it a reality,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ a source close to the star told The ENQUIRER.
Paula envisions the new show focusing on issues that affect average people à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’ plus an occasional celebrity guest, says the source.
Her “vision” sounds like every afternoon talker that’s currently on TV. Although, if she repeats some of her Idol shenanigans on a talk show–confusion, meltdowns, non-sequiturs–I might tune in.
After the jump, check out a snip from some of the music Paula’s been working on, featured in her MTV reality show, Rah!. It’s called “Boombox,” and the beats are really annoying. Like a chorus of off-key bees. Sometimes I really hate pop music.
Paula’s new album is scheduled to be released sometime this year.Â
Video after the JUMP…
Boombox, from Rah!:



Wait, let me get this straight. She can’t even talk coherently or make complete sentences on Idol, but she’s going to have her own “talk” show?
That will be a train wreck. Although I might watch it if she has a psychic predictions segment on the show (she was good at that with Jason!). She could sort of be like the amazing Karnak on the Johnny Carson show.
Oh my. Paula, Paula, Paula.
I don’t know what’s worse, the threat of a talk show or an album of songs with lyrics like “I’ve got a boombox, you’ve got batteries…”
Just say NO! :tongue2_tb:
What exactly WAS that? A song? Really? I couldn’t tell.
I agree with Mac – how can she host a talk show if she can hardly talk?
I think this is hilarious. I bet the AI producers planted this rumor as a parody of Paula’s efforts to get a salary raise (especially in this economy when networks are slashing budgets). New rumor, Paula is in negotiations with John Hopkins for a fellowship in neurosurgery.
Bwahahaha
Envisioning Paula trying to focus on anything is both entertaining and intriguing. Outside of Idol though, I don’t know that she would be as interesting.
Paula…DON’T DO IT!!!

Well as long as she does not do the “Hey Mikki” song with outfit.
