I also turned this off. I'm not impressed at all and wonder how long it will last.

I never watch American Idol, but I tuned into this on the second showing in the wee hours of the morning. I wasn't sleepy yet and there was nothing else on. I don't know if I'll keep watching, but there is a sort of Anna Nicole train wreck element that keeps me wondering just how bad she'll get.

I missed most of the first episode but caught the second. She seemed a lot more normal in the beginning, but got progressively more spastic as the show went on. Maybe it was lack of sleep, but her behavior after the fashion dinner was particularly odd. She seemed a bit loopy going in, but very drunk coming out. When they were in that Starbucks the people looked as if they didn't know how to react to what they were witnessing. The meeting with the perfume people was fairly embarrassing. It was like watching people try to get business decisions from a five year old that just wants to go to the zoo. If this is really from lack of sleep, they need to get her to a sleep clinic and fix this problem. She can't go on like that and keep people's respect for very long.

The second show gave a more indepth view of the events that led up to those disastrous interviews a while back. They planted the seed early on that she suffers from insomnia and is always exhausted so that the behavior at the end would make more sense. I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if some prescription drugs were involved. She made a point of saying she never takes "recreational drugs." It's just sad to watch yet another Hollywood female end up like this, and surrounded by people who don't seem to care enough about her to tell her what she needs to hear.

I watched the first two episodes because the previews looked like it might be fun. Boy were they ever wrong. It was not entertaining at all to me but rather depressing to watch. It definately didn't leave me wanting to tune in again.

Add a relaxing massage and a warm bath to that, Pamy, minus the Starbucks @ 4:00 in the morning, and she might be able to sleep. I did hear one of her assistants suggest she'd be awake all night if she had coffee now. She doesn't take very good care of herself.

add me to the 'watching' a train wreck - its sad that she only has "hired" help - but as she is listed as a producer of the show ? It still was very sad watching - the scene in starbucks just made me shake my head... and the tight jeans made me lol - but if she wanted sweats, then pack yourself, they were packing for the papparazzi imho, she was being followed by a camera crew - I thought it was an obvious choice of someone that was responsible to make her boss look good... but what do I know!

Agree with all the above ~ a sad train wreck ~ not enjoyable to watch.

She is definitely goofy.

I don't understand why she pushes herself so hard.She ought to know herself well enough to know that she needs to make some attempt to get prior ro important meetings and interviews.
If she wanted sweats she should have laid them out or put them in the darn suitcase herself, did not like the blaming that went on there.

The fun part for me is seeing the behind the scenes of all the stuff that showed up about her in the celeb gossip news. I hope we get to see where she fell and busted her nose, and the story the media got was she was trying to avoid stepping on her dog :-) I have actually fallen trying to avoid stepping on my dogs, so I probably shouldn't have this smirk on my face about her story...LOL

yeah those 2 girl assistants need to go! You would think with her money she could hire competant ppl. those girls seem more like groupies.....the girls and guy on Kathy's show seem that way to me too, they dont seem to do too much

I didnt have a problem with her being upset about not having sweats...she said she has told them before...they are PAID! to do what she asks..that is what assistants do..take care of their client.

when I used to do film makeup, I also acted as an assist to whoever I was in charge of and I always made sure they got what they needed/wanted...that is why I got more jobs, word of mouth that I was good at my job and took good care of ppl

First she needs to sleep.

If she needs several assistants to pack for her make travel arrangements and schedule her time she better hire competent people.

She's got a bum back. Do you think she's over medicating? Pain meds and insomnia isn't cool.

Another celeb that doesn't have caring people around her.

She did seemed loopy.

I agree Pamy. They are paid employees that are supposed to already know what she needs for a trip.

She has got some cute Chihuahuas, but the really rotund one needs a serious diet. The others look normal size, so the big one must be stealing everyone's food.

Other than the dogs, the show is a snoozer.

As someone who is often a "paid employee" of celebrities, the issue with (some) is that "what they need" can change with the wind, or their mood.

I watched the first two episodes. My observations:

1) No wonder people think she's drugged or drunk. Her speech at times is just sooooo slurred. Especially at events where she must portray her image to the public. Why is it that during the reflection or interview segments, she seems completely coherent? When she visited the fragrance lab, I truly believed she had imbibed a bit too much!

2) How difficult is it to pack one's own suitcase for travel? Granted she had a few events to attend. I see nothing wrong with a stylist to help you decide what to pack if you can afford them. But at the point where the clothing decisions have been made, pick yourself up by your own bootstraps and pack your own suitcase! Sheesh. I was flabberghasted to just watch the two assistants look at each other wondering when they'd have time to pack their own belongings. It's at those moments where they just have to do it themselves, pack Paula's stuff and then their own. Paula is a grown up woman and the two assistants should just excuse themselves and advise their employer that they'll return at such and such a time after they have retrieved their own belongings.

3) Her assistants seem rather incompetent or inexperienced in the area of celebrity employers. Either they need to get a grip and just do their job and take charge of the situation or find other employment. I don't know how that work could be rewarding given it takes 4 hours to do someone's makeup or the fact that they didn't have enough time to pack their own belongings. Sheesh, it only takes me 10 minutes to a half hour depending on how pressed for time I am and how much makeup I have to apply for the occasion.

4) I wondered if Paula has any true friends that aren't trying to trade off her celebrity or are around her b/c they want to be and not b/c they are getting a paycheck out of it. Fans she came in contact with certainly seemed grateful to meet her and were in awe of her presence..as I would be too!

5) She seemed sincere when giving the reflection/interview portion to give context to the events and the editing, but never really provides an explanation for her odd mannerisms and behavior.

It's a train wreck for sure!

I'd never pack another suitcase if I could easily pay someone else to do it. Just saying...

Honestly, I'm not sure she'd need or want to pack her own suitcase. That's what she hires other people for.

And as for packing tight jeans... HELLO??? Would YOU want to fly six hours, sitting in tight jeans? That was just plain common sense first of all, and if she's asked before for sweats, just stoopid not to provide them for her to change into.

As for her loopiness... I'll give her a bit of a pass. She hadn't slept, she was getting sick (was she taking any cold meds?), she was performing in front of a piece of glass (she couldn't see the interviewers), and she did forty (!!) of those interviews. Hell, by the end of 'em, *I'd* be loopy, too!

I would think this would be MORE reason to bring her back to Idol. She's loopy for a legitimate reason. Lack of sleep. Geez, somebody give her an Ambien! LOL

the 930 ep tonite is like a repeat of last week but it has different scenes...almost like they want to show us more than they did last week...very weird. I have never seen a reality show where they showed a different version of the last ep
