Paula Abdul lands new hosting gig
This just in: America is officially running out of divas.
Returning after a four-year break, “VH1 Divas,” which has featured appearances by Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and others — will return next month with a less stellar lineup, according to MTV.com.
September’s card includes Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, Adele, Leona Lewis and Jordin Sparks.
Miley Cyrus? Jordin Sparks? Isn’t this a little like that “Saturday Night Live” sketch that had Screech from “Saved by the Bell” appearing on “Inside the Actors’ Studio?”
The big news is that the whole affair will be hosted by Paula Abdul, who announced the gig Monday the same way she announced her departure from “American Idol” … via the micro-blogging service Twitter (I think if Paula got into a car accident, she would tweet before calling 911).
The article states that additional “Divas” performers will be announced soon. Who would you like to see? Sound off, below.
