A seven-episode unscripted portrait of singer, entrepreneur and `American Idol' judge Paula Abdul. The series charts Abdul on `American Idol' media-tour interviews, her efforts to run her business ventures and her private experiences with her posse, which includes a hair stylist, a publicist, a wardrobe assistant and, last but not least, four dogs.
  • Episode Recap: "Frankly, My Paula, I Don’t Give a Damn!" | Hey Paula Show Blog | 8/3/2007
    At least when the Married with Children Bundys or the Family Ties Keatons did a clip episode, I felt like there was some heart to it, some ventricular thumping that pumped life into the 22.5 minutes of my hard-earned viewing time. The same, sadly, cannot be said for the finale of Hey Paula.For the most part a "highlights" (term used loosely) clip episode, we were treated to the same rehashed garbage that the first seven episodes had already provided. (I’m beginning to think that Bravo only sent a crew to Paula’s domain five or six times and then cut an eight-episode arc out of that. But the producer in me digresses....) Plainly put, one of Bravo’s highlights-reel editors was forced to "treat" (again, term used loosely) us to: Paula in too-tight jeans, Paula bitching over bad bracelets, Paula being too tired to execute daily activities, the life that is Paula’s self-deemed a "crap sandwich," Paula’s missing hair-and-makeup staff, and (my personal favorite!)... read more
  • Episode Recap: Dancer Jekyll & Ms. Hyde | Hey Paula Show Blog | 7/27/2007
    Talk about bipolar! That’s how I felt watching this episode of Hey Paula.First, we see Paula trying to have an afternoon out with her friends. Now, I work in entertainment, and I know what it’s like to have your cell phone “blow up.” But come on! While on a single call, she had five other people leave her voice mails. I don’t care if you’re as famous as the Baby Jesus — that’s insane! Everyone needs some time to themselves, and I could literally feel this pop star’s fatigued pain. (Not to mention the size of her cell phone bill!)My sympathies only grew when Paula began to monologue about her chronic pain; it literally brought tears to my eyes. I mean, 14 surgeries on your neck! Can you even imagine?! I fractured my right hand in a freak jogging accident (don’t ask!) last year, and the arthritic pain is still unbearable some mornings. I can’t even comprehend what double-digits worth of surgeries and countless procedures could do... read more
  • Episode Recap: Poo-poo on Paula | Hey Paula Show Blog | 7/20/2007
    Nothing says LOL like kicking off your reality show with some good ol’-fashioned fecal humor. Yes, Paula hid poopy-looking beef jerky in her assistant’s bed, and it was a (toilet) bowl full of ROFL-laughter. Not!Come on, Paula. What’s next? Placing your assistant’s finger in a warm glass of water after she falls asleep? Maybe stealing her panties and putting them in the freezer? How about filling her hand with whipping cream and then tickling her nose? You’d most definitely be the hit of my third-grade sleepover, hands down! Not! Then Paula got the news that “the people” in charge of the Bratz movie would “no longer need her services.” Y’all know that there’s a real juicy story behind this oh-so diplomatic soft-dump; now, that’s the kind of reality television I want to watch! I mean, what could Paula have done that was so heinous that it turned off a bunch of studio execs who are in charge of turning big-headed cartoon... read more
  • Episode Recap: ISO Beauty Sleep… Yet Again! | Hey Paula Show Blog | 7/13/2007
    First things first: a new theme song? No! I hate it! Bravo, go back to “Straight Up." At least when I heard that, visions of teenage summer camp danced through my formerly obese head. Now when I hear that new theme “song” (term used loosely), all I envision is a desperate Faith Hill wannabe in an elevator-music recording studio, attempting to warble her way to musical mediocrity. I absolutely loathe this new ditty! Bravo, straight up now tell me, do you really want me to love Hey Paula forever? If so, give me my old theme song back, because this new one is way too legit to not quit.So Paula began her 30 minutes of reality fame by making an appearance at the In Defense of Animals benefit. Without a doubt, I am 100 percent two-thumbs-up for this, having just adopted two cats from a shelter myself. And kudos to Paula for her new assistant, Cher. I see that Kiley has been promoted (or demoted, whatever the case may be) to “stylist” (whatever that... read more
  • She's Our Cover Girl! | Hey Paula Show Blog | 7/6/2007
    So, 5 hours after posting my commentary on last night's Hey Paula episode, I discovered the latest edition of TV Guide magazine, awaiting me in my TVGNetwork cubicle. On the cover is none other than Ms. Abdul in all of her charmingly wacky glory. I would write a in-depth and involved review of the article, but I think the cover story quote says it all. Says Paula: "I've risen from the bowels of hell singing and dancing."Anyone that can work "bowels" and "dancing" into the same sentence gets my respect.
