War of words: Paula Abdul vs. ‘Idol’ showrunners
Paula Abdul, rumored to be this-close to departing “American Idol,” took a swing at the show’s producers in a radio interview this week.
She told XM listeners that showrunners knew Paula Goodspeed — who committed suicide last month in front of Abdul’s home — had been stalking her and allowed the obsessed fan to audition anyway.
“I said this girl is a stalker of mine and please do not let her in,” Abdul said. “It’s fun for them to cause me stress.”
Abdul claims Goodspeed had written her disturbing letters for nearly two decades and even followed her home on at least one occasion.
So, why’s Abdul still on the show if producers are treating her poorly and putting her life in jeopardy?
“I’m under contract.”
Idol chatter …
- Life goes on for the uber-talented Jennier Hudson.
Little more than a month after three family members were shot to death, the singer/actress is set to begin work on the video for “If This Isn’t Love,” her latest single. The Associated Press reports filming begins next week in Los Angeles.
Jennifer’s been in seclusion since the slayings, bunking — free of charge — in a heavily guarded room at Donald Trump’s posh Chicago hotel.
