In what could be my favorite new reality show to date (until Victoria Beckham's show debuts... yes, I said it) Bravo has recently announced a new show feature everyone's favorite, incoherent American Idol judge, Paula Abdul.The new series titled Hey Paula will begin airing on Bravo on Thursday, June 28th at 10pm. The premiere will actually be two back-to-back episodes to kick of the series. The official press release promises the following:
"Behind the songs, behind the dance, the spotlight, and far away from Simon Cowell, there’s the real woman behind the headlines – pop icon Paula Abdul.... “Hey Paula” provides an unfiltered, real-life look at the “American Idol” judge, entrepreneur, choreographer and multi-platinum artist, giving insight and context to Abdul’s much-reported on professional and personal life."They should have also added "a lot of crazy" to the list of things we can expect this summer. Poor Paula's been all over the news lately for allegedly tripping over her chihuahua, Tulip, and having a mental breakdown over the phone with some of her people. Hopefully this show will be a success for her because, as she says in her own words, "Last time I had a hit... Bill and Hillary were having sex..." Gross.
The only sad news I have to report is the series is only 7 episodes long! That's not nearly enough Paula for me. Watching her new show will be just like back in the day when I used to force my neighbor to listen to my Forever Your Girl cassette tape on her deck... I wish I was joking about that one.
If this quick trailer that's been airing on Bravo isn't enough to entice you watch, I don't know what else I can do to convince you. Check it out.
