News about Paula and Pickler
Paula Abdul is making a comeback, and it certainly is all to the credit of her role as a judge on “American Idol.”
Even with controversy that swirled around the judge after former contestant Corey Clark raised allegations of a supposed love affair, Bravo network is putting Abdul front and center for her own reality series, “Hey Paula.” The docu-series will follow the former Laker girl during her work on “Idol,” as well as her other projects.
Among some of those other projects are developing her own brand of cosmetics and perfume, which means it’s official — I’m just about the only person in America who doesn’t have a fragrance line. But I digress. “Hey Paula” also will follow the 44-year-old as she works on “Bratz: The Movie.”
The show promises to provide an up-close-and-personal look at the choreographer/singer/actress/judge, which Bravo President Lauren Zalaznick said includes taking “an intimate glimpse at the real woman behind the headlines.” Hmmm. What does Paula do when she’s not praising the contestants?
You can bet I’ll be tuning in when the show begins airing later this year. After all, this is about as close as it comes to a TV show within a TV show. And that’s exactly the kind of thing that makes me tune into weekend-long marathons.
“Small Town Girl” Kellie Pickler stopped by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., today to visit with children at the hospital, pose for pictures and sign autographs. Awww, how sweet.
In other Pickler news, the finalist from last season also will be taking a seat alongside Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie O’Donnell next Thursday and Friday as a guest co-host on The View. Aside from filling in for Barbara Walters, Pickler may come face-to-face with guests Kathy Griffin and Rachel Welch, who are among the stars stopping by for those episodes.
Pickler also will debut a new song, “I Wonder,” during her time on the show. The song is an autobiographical look at the singer’s relationship with her mother.

[…] Kellie Pickler may have come across as one of the, er, less intelligent contestants on American Idol. But now her smarts really are going to be put to the test. […]
