Tina Fey Says Paula Abdul Was 'Awful' As SNL Guest Host
Tuesday December 4, 2007
Tuesday December 4, 2007
Tina Fey isn't done bashing celebs.
In the new issue of Playboy, the 30 Rock star (and former Saturday Night Live head writer), 37, said Paula Abdul, 45, "was awful" while hosting SNL in 2005.
"I was pregnant [with daughter Alice] at the time and probably a little moody, but I remember thinking, 'She's a disaster! I gotta prop this lady up and get her on TV,'" Fey dished.
She said Abdul was "disastrous ... in the way she generally appears to be.
"It was an American Idol sketch, and she wanted to change parts. So Amy Poehler had to play her."
A year later, Fey recalled seeing Abdul on a flight.
"We both looked at each other like, 'Do I know that girl?'" she said. "And then we both had that moment of recognition, and she was like, 'uuuggh.' I saw it register on her face that she had had a terrible time with us."
Tell Us: Would you ever want to work with Paula Abdul?

Paula is crazy. It makes me soo nervous to watch her on American Idol. I just sit there hoping she can get through her comments without saying something stupid. You know how you get uncomfortable for other people? Yeah, she's the biggest one for me. She seems like a nice lady but she's clearly a little off.

Oh, finn, please tell me how you really feel about Paula. LOL. Okay, so you're right there. I guess it was the "sympathy" factor then. "Why can't people treat me like the gift that I am"? Gotta love her.

Paula Abdul has made her rep what it is today. Just like Brit. I dont feel sorry for either one at this point.

Mia- I love Simon, too. I think he's the only one with talent. The explative was something he's proud of being :)
Wicked- How is Paula a regular kind of woman? She has said "why can't people treat me like the gift that I am"? Those are the words of a grounded 'down to earth' regular kind of girl? The only thing that is regular about her is her pill popping schedule, her diva/child-like behavior and her excessive spending on crap to fill the void in her ridiculous life.
But you and I are above name calling so we'll agree to disagree (even though I'm right :)

Merry fvckin Christmas.
Can't we all call a truse? (sp?) don't have spellcheck and I'm not googling.
Happy Chanukah to all that applies to.
Peace out.

finn I agree. But I do love my American Idol because, quite frankly, I adore Simon Cowell. I had tickets last season and saw him and was not disappointed, but when I saw Paula, she was not taller than a 4th grader and definitely not smarter than a 5th grader.

Mia & finn, yes, I agree with most of what you said, but Paula just has something about her. I don't know if it's the "sympathy" factor or not, but she comes off across as a regular Jane and it's kind of endearing actually. I agree, she can't sing and she's lucky she got the American Idol gig. I've never seen her jewelry line. I did see her show once (okay, maybe twice), and it made her look so bad. The girl needs to get off her meds or find new ones because she looks drunk half the time.

When I watched "Hey Paula" (yes, I have no life) I was just shocked how many of these celebrities sell loads of crap on QVC. Who is up at 3am buying a butterfly pendant? Paula never offers any sound advice on Idol. At least the dou*che bag in the middle can give some advice to singers. Looking at Paula and the whole Hey Paula thing- I'm not completely sure humans are still evolving.

Paula got lucky with Simon and American Idol because prior to that gig she sort of faded away.
She dresses like an overdecorated xmas tree. She has no taste. Her jewelry line is cheap looking and overdone much as she is most of the time.
There are more stupid people with no class and no taste in this world than not. This is why stars have stylists. Most have no taste or class. YMMV.
I've never cared for Paula's music, if you can call it that or her person. Love her high school picture though...with the 3" nose spread across her face. Straight up DOG UGLY.
And I wonder why she can't keep a man? Go figure.

No, cliquealtdelete, it seems like you should be riding on the "special bus". You have a warped sense of humor. be gone. "Rolling my Eyes"
Poser, please stop embarrassing me. It's "special bus." (Period inside the quotation mark.) It's also *rolling eyes.* "Be" gone. Get it right, Arkansas! Welfare check doesn't cover your meds?

Why is Fey bringing this up 2 years later? I sometimes cringe when I see Abdul, but the girl knows how to make a buck.

Does Tina Fey call herself a feminist? WTF is she doing talking to Playboy? I loved it years ago when she bagged on Hef for parading his harem of girlfriends around, now it looks like she's playing along. I used to think she was cool, but I guess she's just part of the boy's club now. Pathetique.
