Kristen Johnston Get Ugly Instead Of Paula

Talk about a bitch slap to the ego!
It seems Paula Abdul has become the leper of Tinsletown - no one wants to touch her!!!
She was recently offered and then refused a gig on Ugly Betty. Sources say that the show was unwilling to give in to her excessive list of demands. Sound familiar?
So just as she was replaced on Idol with a half-wit judge, so shall she be replaced on Ugly Betty with a half-wit actress and we mean that as a compliment. Comedian and actress Kristen Johnston will be taking Paula's role of Helen, the new, crazy office temp.
When asked about the role, Johnston explained: "I think [Helen] sees herself as Samantha from Sex and the City. Except, of course, she's a temp."
Then, when asked about receiving the role over Paula, she replied: "I've always considered myself a poor man's Paula Abdul."
Quite true. We bet as long as there is a cater table in arms reach, you'll be A-OKAY!

I thought she feel out the window to her death in Sex and the City–it was the best death scene!!! Took the curtains with her…
LUVED HER ON 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN!!!

HOPE SHE GOT HER ANOREXIA UNDER CONTROL!?
Perez you are mean. She is so skinnny. Anyways, she is super funny!
I'm impressed with Kristen's tact in her answer about replacing Paula. Or was she going for tongue-in-cheek?
Either way, I like Kristen for some reason. Looks like the kind of woman you could have REAL fun with…
And I don't mean, "Fluffy Hollywood skanks doing lines of coke in the bathroom fun,"
I mean, "Midnight bonfire parties, field tours in the pick-up, drinkin' beer and ridin' Hogs" kinda fun.
you are mean. she is skinny!!
Kristen is super funny!!
she is funny
Kristen Johnston is hot why make fun of her weight? I'm glad she is not a bone rack
I LOVE Kristen Johnson!
She is awesome…I am so happy she is making a return!
I LOVE HER! She is hilarious! One of the most underrated comedic actresses around.
*Johnston, sorry
question WHO IS SHE?
i like her, she's a very funny lady. good for her, i'm sure she'll show up sober and work hard. unlike some other people would have.
wow….. you are a total hypocrite. you complain when people are too skinny, and yet you insist on making fun of anyone who isn't. kristen johnston is thin, and even when she was a bit heavier she was never over weight, she was always healthy looking. you are either just plain stupid or such a bitch that it's made you blind.
this news was on thelimegreenscream.com a few days ago, you're slow perez
Kristen is funny and beautiful. I've never seen "ugly" but will watch it to see her play a temp. I hope the writers don't stereotype temps though, it's a good way to show off skills, check out a company, perform a service, and get paid for it.
I don't really care for Paula Abdul I love Kristen Johnston! She's a hilarious comedic actress. Totally tuning in for that!
Paula just got one step closer to sucking cock for change…Have you fired your new agent yet you fucking idiot? You're a fucking pill popping whore who is lucky you had a job that looked the other way for so long. Welcome to the real world you fucking midget whore!!
put
da
bigg
giant head
in der wit her…hehheee
luv them 2/gether wooohoooooooooooooooooo
zhitfukzhit
good for her
paula sucks
I do remember her from 3rd rock from the sun. She was pretty damn funny.
That was a diplomatic answer. I've always considered myself a poor man's Kristen Johnston.
Your soo stupid! KJ is an awesome actress. 3rd Rock was an awesome, innovative, original sitcom. And that Kraft service comment is ridiculous! You are one to talk! Just because she is tall and not a size 2 does not merit such remarks from you!
LOVE HER!!!
WEIRD! I was JUST thinking about her coz I saw her in a few-months-old magazine and I was wishing she would do more!! She's sooo cute! She could totally play the "best friend" role in some cool new movies, I think she just did actually. Yay! Team Kristen! .. Also, Paula is a quack on drugs, Kristen so is not!
PS: She was never anorexic - Pick up a paper sometime.. She had major stomach issues and a couple surgeries.. She was really sick.. She so is not the type to buy into the anorexic trap
I love her! Im glad she will be on the show!
I take great comfort in the back that Perez, or Mario, will burn in hell for all of his comments and the pain he has caused people. Kristen is absolutely beautiful and she is very talented. Glad to see she's back. I just wish Perez would go away.
KJ is phenomenal, she should get her own TV show, rather than appear in the awful, soon-to-die "Ugly Betty" (if you speak Spanish, watch the original "Betty La Fea" - a truly GREAT show - on youtube).
"I've always considered myself a poor man's Paula Abdul." ROFL! Love her sense of humour
she has a kirsty alley look to her
Love her. Great addition.
KJ will be better in the role anyway.
I love Kristen Johnston.
Actually, I love Kristen Johnston… from 3rd ROck to Austin Powers's "Ivana Humpalot"
That last line was so petty–there's a difference between "being b*tchy," and "being a b*tch."
I swear you are trying to get people to become anorexic or kill themselves. She is a grown woman with a great figure, she's not a 22 year old coke snorting whore who can't act and can only get roles because she's a train wreck.
You really are getting more and more petty by the day.
I find it interesting that you create a site for girls, yet you consistently submit negative remarks towards women, their weight, their clothing, their looks, etc.
In this case, it is a positive article on Kristen Johnston, yet your last line is totally uncalled for.
For men, you only comment if someone is hot, or not and leave it at that.
Why is this?
OK.. so I felt the need to make a profile thingy after reading this. I love your site.. but she is NOT even close to being fat. I'm pretty sure you're bigger than her arent you ? This is a serious bitch move.
Great choice. Very VERY talented actress. I may actually start watching Ugly Betty because of Kristen Johnson.
i thought she died from cancer..obviously i'm mixing her up with someone else..does anyone else have any clue on what i'm talking about?
