Paula and Simon: Opposites Distract

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on March 11, 2008 8:30 AM

Paula Abdul wants the world to know that she’s not drunk – just a little distracted. The loopy “American Idol” judge told David Letterman last night that Simon Cowell is the reason for her bizarre antics.

Simon was up to no good last week while Brooke White sang “Love is a Battlefield,” says Paula, “He was whispering in my ear that ‘Love is a Battlefield’ was a yogurt commercial. Now everyone knows he whispers in my ear all the time.” Dave then went straight up with Paula on accusations that she’s frequently tipsy on camera, asking, “Are you drunk?” Paula shot back, “That’s not cool!”

Meanwhile, “Idol” hopefuls will be vying for attention tonight as the top 12 start the big singoff. The two-hour show has former stripper David Hernandez in shock. “Can you pinch me?” he asked “Extra.” One would think he’s had enough of being pinched!

Which "Idol" would make your dreams come true? Tell "Extra" who your top pick is for tonight's performances.

Paula simply doesn’t have anything to say. I would like someone else to replace her, I do not have anything against her it’s just when she opens her both she has nothing intelligent to say. Sorry

I like Brooke, I think she gets better & better each week. I’m rooting for. I also like Carly & David C.

Regarding Paula being drunk ………PLEASE. She’s not a drunk. People need to get over it & move on cause it’s really getting annoying and it’s disrespectful to Paula. She’s an amazing person & a wonderful judge. I watch the show only because she’s in it. The contestants can bore me to death sometimes.

Simon obviously likes Brooke as a singer, but he seems to have a problem with her wholesome image.

Brooke is my top pick for tonight!! I know she’s going to come up with an innovative rendition of a Beatles song that will just blow us away. I would so love to see her win, because she’s not only very current, she really pushes the traditional Idol envelope.
