The claws came out at last week’s VH1 Divas concert when Paula Abdul almost backed out of presenting alongside Kathy Griffin. An insider states:
“Paula had to be coaxed onstage to present with Kathy. Kathy has made fun of her A LOT in the past and she’s still pretty offended. She was leery about Kathy might say about her in public.”
Well it’s probably a safe assumption that we won’t be presenting any awards with Abdrool anytime soon!
Griffin remained her usual snarky self in Paula’s direction saying “I see you giving me the evil eye, Paula” and asking if she ever saw Idol co-star, Simon Cowell, in the buff.
Paula eagerly retaliated with: “Have you ever banged anyone? Hey, listen, Firecrotch!”
Best leave the comedy to the professionals, Paula.
In a scripted question while presenting, Abdul asked Griffin to promise not make fun of her anymore to which Kathy sassed, “I pinky swear I won’t make fun of you…until Kelly Clarkson comes on.”
Clarkson performed about 10 seconds later. Ha!
The gals had it with each other by the end of the night with Abdul apparently being the “life of the after party” and Kathy skipping the event altogether.
The source continues: “You know Kathy. She’s going to make fun of Paula the very next chance she gets!”
We wouldn’t have it any other way!
