So I was channel hopping tonight after spending half an hour drooling over Jason Donovan in Echo Beach when I remembered that ITV2 were showing the first episode of Paula Abdul’s new reality TV show, Hey Paula. Well given that I run a reality TV blog, I felt it was only right that I tune in.

I have seen Paula before, mostly on American Idol, and I always thought she was a little weird, perhaps a little unbalanced…..little did I know.

As the show progressed it became obvious that Paula has been in the spotlight for so long, she has completley lost her grasp of reality. One part of the show saw her horrible little rat dogs running around her bed with millions of pounds worth of diamonds in their mouths. You can catch the clip here. Not to be patronising, but if someone is going to spend that amount of money for something their dog chews on, wouldn’t it be better spent feeding actual needy people?

Paula was often seen speaking to her staff like they were dirt on her shoe, despite the fact that these people may not have slept in two nights due to her constant demands. She almost missed a flight which was bringing her to appear on the QVC shopping channel, after she threw a massive diva fit because her assistant packed the wrong jeans. NEWSFLASH!! Pack yourself next time!

My favourite quote of the night has to be the show closer:

“I’m tired of people not treating me like the gift that I am!”

And she calls Simon Cowell big headed!

After reading my rant you are probably guessing that I won’t be tuning into Paula’s show next Friday night. Well you’d be wrong. I may have extra strong feelings of dislike for Paula Abdul, but I do love some car crash TV!
