Paula Was NOT Drunk Yesterday

Paula Abdul's publicist, Jeff Ballard, just sent us the following email.

This is what he has to say:

"Set the record straight…..Paula was NOT drunk yesterday, she did not have a martini yesterday at lunch. It was a sparkling water with lime….she DOES NOT drink……you are just repeating what TMZ had up for a few minutes earlier today and have since taken down completely since they didn't have the proof to back it up…and don't want to risk legal action. It also wasn't her assistant that was with her…it was the head of Talent for FOX.

Do the right thing and correct this erroneous reporting."

And there you have it!

the woman is a little loopy and thats about it. She explained on Seacrest what happened although its still a weird story, however She did not appear drunk on the show, she just wasn't paying attention…it was like an Ann Curry moment…give her a break its a live show!

If she is not a drinker then she might have a medical condition that makes her act like she drunk– Maybe she is diabetic

I'd rather her have been drunk, or drugged, last night since she was just awful on idol. Then she would have an excuse.

Ok, so if she wasn't drunk, then which is it….why she high or has she suffered a series of strokes in the last few years that render her unable to perform the simplest of tasks…such as speech?
haha!onthemeds says – reply to this

Being drunk is probably the best thing going for her, now we can all assume that she has some mental issues or just taking too many meds!

ggggggggggggggg says – reply to this

66

i dont care what anybody says paula is on some shit anyone who has seen her show knows that she needs help and if she is not on something then she has bigger problems then it seems its like stop lieing people arent stupid when they see something like paula abdul and the way she acts you have to think she is on something and her publists say she is not on anything but they dont explain wut the fuck is goin on with her

PEREZ Put Paula's picture and planet of the apes SEPERATED AT BIRTH lol!
Johnny the Joint says – reply to this

68

so she wasnt drunk, but obviously she had taken some of her pills that day. she is a walking mess with no talent at all. never says a thing that matters on that show. if anyone saw her fabled reality show you know she is on medication daily that makes her f'd up. its quite clear she abuses whatever she is on.
Dr valium says – reply to this

69

Oh okay. Then what did she swallow with that sparkling water? That was the weirdest thing I've seen on live tv. She was so spaced that she didn't realize that there had only been one round of singing. She SUCKS. She sits in judgment but can't remember what just happened! What IS wrong with her??

Come on Paula! You are over 40 years old, you are allowed to drink!
If it were me I would gladly blame my blabbering on the booze!
YEAH, RIGHT! says – reply to this

78

If she WASN"T drunk then her publicist has a harder job than he thinks. Now he has to try to convince the world that she isn't a complete RETARD - said with all due respect to retarded people.

Dear Publicist: Do the right thing and tell us why Paula is acting so weird!!! I would get in your ass for not saying what her friggin' problem is and making her look like an ass for no reason at all!!! I would've just blamed it on the alcohol.

Perez, stop being a salacious asshole. You didn't have to print all the shit about Paula this morning. You had absolutely nan thing to go on, just like the rest of us. One of these days you're going to get your ass in a sling with some defamation lawsuit and your first amendment rights won't protect you.

Okay, whatever you say but…in my mind i will always picture her drunk. It's better that i do this way and funnier.
YOu Mean Shes that STOOOPID SoBER?? I dont THINK I'd ADVERTISE that....lol says – reply to this

Lets see, one, two. Okay wait, one hand and the other hand makes two. One leg to stand on, no that would also be two. You mean Paula cant count to two sober?? Woman has alzheimer's then, I think I'd rather have the booze comments floating around. Oh that woman is sick sick sick. Not just sick sick. Okay thats a big 10:4…."what paula, you dont understand 10:4? Nev A Mind its a lot harder than one, two."

stayathomemom says – reply to this

99

The woman has serious persription drug problems. Girlfriend has back and spinal issues and she chooses to take Vicodin and Oxycodone instead of going to rehab and exercising or even surgery. Seen it before. just because she doesnt drink doesnt mean she isnt FUCKED UP! Just because a doctor prescribes it, doesnt mean it wont screw up your life!!!
smr says – reply to this

i hate to defend paula, but it's a well known fact that she does not drink. she does, however, have many neck and back injuries from a car accident and her years as a dancer. she is a major league PILL POPPER and light weight. everything she takes is prescribed, but it's heavy duty shit so that's why she is always so loopy. that said, last night was HYSterical!
