Paula Abdul went on Barbara Walters’ Sirius XM radio show “Barbara Live!” Monday night to let the world know that she blames “American Idol” producers for permitting stalker Paula Goodspeed to continue to audition even after they learned of her delusional obsession with Paula. According to the L.A. Times

On the day of Goodspeed’s audition, “Idol” producers told Abdul they had found — and were about to bring in — a fan who was “crazy about” Paula. Abdul objected. “I said, ‘This girl is a stalker of mine. Please do not let her in.’ I was shaking.” The producers ignored her, saying that they wanted the “entertainment value.”

[After following her home after an audition], Goodspeed [began sending] naked pictures of herself to Abdul and threatened her with “bodily harm” in some letters. [Paula said], “She said the only way I will serve her purpose is when I’m up in heaven being her guardian angel.”

So why is Paula still on “American Idol”?

[She said], “Well, I’m under contract.”

You know, there’s biting the hand that feeds you, and there’s shitting in the hand that feeds you and then shoving that hand in its face and rubbing it all around while you fire off a couple of shotgun blasts in your own foot. But no matter! What really concerns me here is that Paula looks like some kind of bizarre amalgamation of Michigan J. Frog and Six from Blossom. “Hello, my baby! Hello, my darlin’! Hello, my ragtime gaaaaal!

Barbara Walters vs Star Jones

Barbara Walters was on Oprah on Tuesday promoting her autobiography “Audition,” in which she admits to having an affair with a married senator in the seventies and being made to lie about her “View” co-host Star Jones’ gastric bypass surgery. ABC News quotes Barbara as saying:

“[Star] decided to have a gastric bypass operation, but then she decided not to tell anybody. Then we had to lie on the set every day because she said it was portion control and Pilates. Well, we knew it wasn’t portion control and Pilates.”

Star Jones’ reaction (via Us Weekly) was decidedly pissy:

“It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character.”

I’m sorry, Star, but that’s incorrect. The correct answer would have been to exclaim “I’m gonna snatch yo triflin’ bitch-ass bald-headed and bust out all yo fronts,” then hand your boyfriend your jewelery and kick off your shoes and go straight for the weave. Seriously, has she ever watched an episode of “Springer?” Sounds like Star needs to brush up on the basics!
