Paula Abdul...the quote of day? A nod to Mary McNamara quip @ Los Angeles Times...


Next up to the mic?


Simon was inclined to utter "no comment" at press time



On the heels of a tweet (in which Abdul warbled her Idol swan song) I whipped up a post to hasten along the startling news to die-hard fans and rapt industry-insiders.

Boo Hoo!

Today, the dailies were awash with a lot of rumor and innuendo, understandably.

Was the green-eyed monster (taunted & egged on by a lucrative Seacrest deal) holding-out for too much moolah - potential replacements snickered on the sidelines - as they rubbed their hands in glee and kept their eye on the brass ring?

Was nutso Paula being pushed out the door at the behest of ruthless money-grubbing suits in starched shirts only concerned with the bottom line?

Just maybe, the bimbo babe's negotiating ploys lost steam, in the gathering musical-chairs storm?

Mary McNamara - a journalist at the Los Angeles Times- offered up the best little ditty which gets a nod for the quote of the day.

"Just how much is a reliable train wreck worth?"

Whoopsie-daisy, Paula!

Bill Clinton...foot-in-mouth disease again? Hillary to pull out!

Ah, no more hanky-panky in the White House?


Well, did slick Willy put his foot in it again or were his stunning remarks yesterday a sly attempt to ease the pain a little for Hillary as she possibly winds down her campaign?

While valiant Hillary stumped amid strident supporters who stomped for the presidential hopeful at rallies around South Dakota and Montana, the former president was holding court in another part of the state waxing poetic about his own political career.

"This may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind," Bill confessed in Milbank, South Dakota.

Are they going to yank the plug on 'ya, Bill?

"I thought I was out of politics," he rasped, "Till Hillary decided to run. But it has been one of the greatest honors of my life to go around and campaign for her for president."

But what about that knife in her back, eh?

According to the campaign team, as of yesterday, Hillary is still in the "rat" race.

In that event, maybe the reason Mrs. Clinton dashed from the stage yesterday was not due to a frog in her throat as alleged - but rather - to rustle up a bit of rope to hog-tie Bill, don't 'ya think?

Today, many are asking if Bill 's musings were just the old - " foot-in-the-mouth disease" - interrupting the political flow ad nauseam once again.

Or, if the wise old political owl was signaling Hillary's swan song to engender a graceful exit from the political stage?

If so, it was a hatchet job.

Abraham Lincoln once said,
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
