I'd go with Orlando. I can't get the pictures out of my brain of when Dempsy was a nerdy looking teenager.

I hope what ever is causing Paula's 'unusual' behavior gets diagnosed and treated soon. I really like her and think she has incredible talent and hate to see her like that.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul canceled media interviews on Friday as an online video emerged of the television star slurring and gesticulating her way through a TV interview a day earlier. Some viewers of the footage posted on the popular online video site YouTube.com suggested she should head into rehab because it appeared she had been drinking. But Abdul's spokesman, Jeff Ballard, denied that was under the influence of alcohol or on some kind of medication and said the U.S. performer never drank. Ballard said the interview was one of the last in a string of question-and-answer sessions she had done over two hours on Thursday ahead of a new season of "American Idol," debuting next week on the Fox network. "She was exhausted. This was at the end of three days of press (interviews and appearances), and she has had cameras following her around for a reality TV show too," said Ballard, referring to a new documentary series about the star's life. "She was sitting in a room with just a camera and a mic on, and the controllers dropped the sound twice, which is why she rolled her eyes." Ballard said Abdul, 44, had canceled all media interviews on Friday because she had a sore throat after sitting in the chilly studio on Thursday. "She never drinks. I have known Paula Abdul since she was 13, and I have never seen her drink ever in my life. ... And no, she is not on any kind of medication," he said. "She was a little tired." Abdul, a former Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader who gained fame in the late 1980s as a pop singer with such hits as "Straight Up," has been known for emotional displays on "American Idol." In a 2005 People magazine interview, she denied having a drug problem, saying, "I'm not addicted to pills of any kind." She went on to explain that she suffers from a neurological disorder that causes chronic pain and requires a weekly injection of an anti-inflammatory drug. I am selling a bridge

Tell it Maris. Her eyes were rolling back in her head at one point. If I had to guess, I'd say vicodin.

Oh please, they are always "exhausted." I saw the interviews and she was really out of it.

Pamy, go to PerezHilton, and you'll find all three videos if you scroll through. Actually, here: http://perezhilton.com/topics/paula_abdul/ I have to say....something about her MOUTH is weird. Like, she's missing her back teeth or something. She keeps jutting her jaw out. She messes up her S's like Katherine Hepburn did in her later years.

Nothing unusual, Texannie. She's been acting that way for a few years. I feel bad if she's in chronic pain, but her gushing over the contestants is so annoying. I wish they would replace her with a judge who's a little more honest in their critiques.

OMIGOD.... she's drunk as a skunk! My only true comment is this: Most celebs are with handlers at these interviews. Are they nuts to let her go on in that OBVIOUSLY OVER-inebriated condition? They are not good handlers, they are just escorts/bodyguards if they don't make these judgements properly. Geez.

Pamy, thank you! I told my girlfriend that she reminded me of Blairs cousin Jeri from Facts of Life who had cerebral palsy! Their movements were the same!

This Seattle interview is very bad too. If you watch them full-screen, it's even worse. I do feel badly for her and wish she would acknowledge to herself that there is a problem. www.youtube.com/Paula in Seattle While surfing around youtube, I found this video of Paula in her prime, performing at the VMAs. www.youtube.com/Paula on 1989 VMA show

Isn't it possible Paula is on some sort of prescription medication?

That most certainly will be the likely excuse.

Could happen. Happened to me and my husband too. Both of us were really not ourselves. My daughter thought it was a hoot when I called Pepto Bismo that yellow stuff. My husband in the hospital saw the border of the wallpaper crawling all over the place.
