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!
