What the Mother-F???

Um, did any of you see Hey Paula on Bravo? If not, let me try to help you understand what it was like....every been on the highway and watched a really, really horrible car accident (like a tractor trailer smashing into a bus full of orphans, bunnies and nuns.)It's like that but more horrifying, imagine the bunnies are being raped during he accident---yup thats the level.

I normally don't talk about things like this on this blog but...wow.

The show premiered with two episodes and the first was not that bad. You got a small taste...an amuse bouche, if you will...of Paula's brand of crazy. Before a flight to Philadelphia she chews the asses out of her assistants for packing the wrong items of clothing for her. Like, looses her shit. Big time over sweatpants. Which you sort of go, okay I get that who doesn't want to be comfy on a flight but still.....

Okay so the big time crazy happens in the next episode. We see her pretty much act like she's taken too many Oxycontin (and to quote Kathy Griffin "Alledgedly").

So pretty much if you have not watched I'd recommend it just for the shared experience of pin pointing the exact moment when we all accept that she's bat shit.

And another thing...she has to have final say over the cuts of these episodes. She HAS to. No one in their right mind would say this was okay, unless oh God, what if that was the best of all the footage that they shot? Damn.

Oh! And the second episode is totally about the major freakout Paula had on those satellite interviews a few months back. Okay and you can actually tell that they have shot footage to make it look like her publicist is watching the feed and going "oh what happened to the audio...SOMEONE FIX THAT"... when you just KNOW that when that was all going on he was too busy drinking Jack Daniels and praying to God that he still had a job.

Part of me is really sad that this is who Paula Abdul is. She was my favorite pop singer when I was kid, I so loved her music and bought all of her albums. I remember feeling really bad that her marriage to Emilio Estevez didn't work out. Now I feel embarassed for her. Watching this show, its just like does she not get it? She's trying to have all these moments with the camera (anyone watch The Comeback with Lisa Kudrow? It feels like that except that was intentionally funny and embarassing) and it just makes her look desperate and sad.
