Can you smell desperation in the air?
I don’t know about you. But something about Paula talking about the stalker who died outside her home, four weeks after that incident happened, smells “publicity” all over it.
Reports say she’s blaming the show’s producers for enabling the situation, since this stalker apparently was able to audition on the show —
Abdul, 46, said earlier this week in an XM Satellite Radio interview that she had asked Idol producers not to put Goodspeed on the program. “I said, ‘This girl is a stalker of mine. Please do not let her in.’ Everyone knew. I was shaking,” Abdul said. — People
See, American Idol is airing next month. It still remains a top rated show alright but frankly, after seven seasons, its novelty is wearing thin.
When it was having its run last year, you can’t go online or check out the entertainment sections in the news without a new controversy about the show every week. Stories running had something to do with the judges, the contestants or the whole show itself.
I’d have to with American Idol’s former producer, Nigel Lythgoe, when he said —
“It happened about four weeks ago. For it to come back four weeks later, I’m really sad we’re still talking about it.”
Yep, why can’t Paula just keep quiet? Because it’s a juicy story. In-fighting between the judge and the Idol producers? Juicy and intriguing….it’s going to make the news round and any news Idol generates is always publicity, right?
