Trembling Paula Abdul Runs From Letterman [Stalkers]

Gawker - 11th Dec 2008

1 votes
Paula Abdul: David Letterman, who was harassed by a stalker through the early 1990s, was partly serious when he told American Idol judge Paula Abdul she should sue Idol producers and Fox for toying with her and a longtime stalker, who ultimately committed suicide near Abdul's home. But Abdul, who was on the show to promote a jewelry line, spoke of the incident in a trembly voice, and was probably as serious as Letterman had been when she leapt from her seat as though she would leave the show. There wasn't much real hostility - but plenty of fear. Clip after the jump.

Paula Abdul is as good as gone from ‘Idol’
Paula Abdul has spent the better part of the week telling anyone who would listen that she’s dissatisfied with the producers of “American Idol” and the she’s upset with Simon Cowell (“he’s like a family member you can’t get rid of”).

That’s because she’s seriously considering not going back to “
