Some stars just burn too brightly and beautifully to be understood or appreciated by mere mortals such as ourselves, and when the Gods cruelly take them from us, these stellar miracles flame out before we are even able to realize how much we needed and adored them. Paula Abdul‘s mess of a Bravo show Hey Paula is the latest example of a bright shining star in the reality TV heavens whose light was extinguished far before its time. Here’s what she has to say about it in USA Today:
Her own reputation fell as a result of her early summer Bravo reality series, Hey Paula, she acknowledges. She says the show falsely portrayed her as an unstable, hysterical, demanding diva.“That was hard for me to watch. Disturbing,” says Abdul, who had a producing credit but no editing approval. “They’d put a camera on me when I got wind that my dog was in a coma, and they’d make it (seem) like it was about hair and makeup.”
She says she felt double-crossed when producers persuaded her to address her widely criticized Idol press junket debacle, in which she seemed disoriented. But including the segment only made matters worse.
In the wake of this devastating loss, we’re not sure who to blame. The cynical Bravo producers who portrayed this paragon of sanity and togetherness as a crazed make-up-smeared lunatic, Paula for being too weak to let her loony light shine or, as Paula was wont to do on the show, do we blame God Himself, who giveth us something of such profound beauty only to then taketh it away.

And with chief advisor Karl Rove now out of the picture, it seems that President Bush is finally keen to try out the one plan of action he’s personally had from the very beginning: launching a SERIOUS “shock and awe” campaign with the biggest, baddest weapon of mass destruction this country has got – martial arts master Chuck Norris.

You may have noticed that – aside from VMA trainwrecks and tween star nudie pics – things have been a little quiet around lately. Almost like something was…I don’t know…missing. Well this period of unsettling tranquility might have something to do with first-string celebrity mishap playmaker Lindsay Lohan spending the past month or so in the rehab penalty box. And other than vague reports of failed drug tests, 12-step sexcapades, and few staged paparazzi pics of the troubled starlet’s reunion with her estranged father, we’re really not sure what kind of impact this latest attempt at rehabilitation has had on Lindsay. And now, our step-sibling
