BUSTED

More Idol Banter

On the January 18 episode of The View, Rosie deemed AI too mean and harsh to it's contestants, referring to the judges as "three millionaires, one probably intoxicated". Simon Cowell thinks that Rosie O'Donnell is 'bashing' American Idol to boost ratings for The View. "I'll have a go at Donald Trump — good for ratings. That died down, so now I'll do American Idol. Next week it will be, 'I don't like the dresses on Dancing with the Stars.'"

Personally, I just think Rosie is speaking her mind. No rhyme or reason in her decisions about what to give her 'view' on.

Dare I Say It???

Tara Reid looked cute at the Motorola Late Night Lounge, Saturday night during The Sundance Film Fest. Not too orange, not too shiny, not too drunk, no cleavage or midriff showing. Bravo.

Paula Still Explaining - Simon Chimes In

Paula Abdul has to keep proving she's sober. After a bizarre interview she gave for a Seattle morning news team last week, following by even more strange behaviour on the talk show circuit and the opening episode of American Idol, everyone from Rosie O'Donnell to The New York Times, want to know what she's on.

In an interview after a panel discussion with television journalists in Pasadena, Calif., on Saturday, Ms. Abdul said she had not been impaired during the interviews, on the show or at any time during her work promoting “American Idol,” Fox’s hit reality show.

“I’ve never been drunk,” she said. “I’m not under the influence of anything.” Referring to her tenure as a judge on “American Idol,” she added, “The first five years no one said anything about how I behaved or how I talked.”

This month an interview with a Seattle television station went awry when Ms. Abdul seemed to be answering questions different from those being asked. She said the problem was twofold: first, she was tired after doing three hours of interviews with stations across the country to promote the show; and second, during the Seattle interview, the audio feed into her earpiece was coming from two separate television stations. She said she believed the audio glitch was being addressed while she was off camera; instead the camera was on.

“That was a mistake I had nothing to do with,” Ms. Abdul said Saturday. “I didn’t know I had two studios in my ear. I wish it were a better story, but that’s it.”

She said it is her nature to make fun of situations that cause her stress, like appearing on live television. “I’m doing my job and having fun,” she said. “Although I might not take myself seriously, there are young girls watching me, and I know I’m a role model. I’ve been a teacher, and the fact that some of them would look up to me and want to be the next choreographer or the next singer, I would not violate that trust.”

"I'm the only female. I'm the empathetic one. I'm the artist. I'm the pinata. I've never been drunk in my life. I don't do recreational drugs. I've been in this business 20 years (and) never had to weather the storm of publicity, controversy. It's this show. ... I love it, but it's often daunting."

Maybe not 'recreational drugs' but she didn't say pharmaceutical.

Paula isn't the only one feeling the heat this week. Simon Cowell has been critized for being overly insulting and cruel this season to the less fortunate contestants.



Last week on the show’s two-night season premiere, he mocked one contestant’s appearance, comparing him to a jungle creature, and made fun of another’s heft. One contestant Mr. Cowell mocked appeared to be mentally impaired; Mr. Cowell said Saturday that he had not been aware that the young man was a former Special Olympian.

Mr. Cowell said that he understood why his remarks were criticized but that he felt it would be wrong to censor himself.

“I take your point, which is, It’s a singing competition, and why should I call someone, I think it was a ‘bush baby,’ ” he said. “The appeal of this show is that we’ve never tried to censor this show. And there are times, trust me, when I watch it back and I just think, ‘God, I wish I hadn’t said that, and why do they put it in the show?’ But it’s something we all sign up for, good things and bad things. I feel more comfortable being on a show where we are prepared to show the warts as well as the good things.”

Keep in mind that these 'artists' we see audition have already been pre-screened and chosen to appear on television. They are put on tv because sadly, it makes good tv.

Paris Hates Her Eyes - The Droopy Part and The Brown Part

Paris Hilton is seeking help for her dry eyes and droopy eyelid. She wears blue contact lenses over her natural brown eyes EVERY SINGLE DAY against advice of her doctors.

According to a Beverly Hills source, Hilton stopped by a plastic surgeon's office with sister Nicky earlier this week, seeking to "fix her drooping left eyelid." Our insider says Paris had hush- hush surgery six years ago to lift her lids. The muscles of her left eye were supposedly damaged as a result, "causing it to droop more than the right" - a look that was once parodied on "South Park." Hilton, who is filming "The Hot tie and the Nottie," has made things worse by wearing blue- tinted contact lenses over her naturally brown irises. "They have been drying out lately," dished the tipster. "She is ignoring doctors' orders to not wear her tinted contacts."

Guess Who REVEALED!

Not a hard one, I know. ALOT of correct guesses.

Jennifer Garner has a nice ass, doesn't she? She has really dropped the poundage in the last month or so. Congrats to Donna for guessing this one right. That's two in a row for Donna. Nina is runner-up.

Drew Looking For Older? Balder?

There are reports that Drew Barrymore looked to be quite over her ex, Fab Moretti, at the post Golden Globe bash thrown by Prince. She was seen "making out in front of everybody" with none other than, Bruce Willis. I'd of rather she made out with Hugh. And she was looking so good too......
