Peeved Paula

From AP:
NEW YORK -- Paula Abdul's spacy behavior on American Idol has prompted many to ponder if there's a tumbler or two of booze in that red cup on the table in front of her on the Fox talent contest. That's nonsense, the 44-year-old Idol judge tells Us Weekly magazine in its February 16 issue.

"I've never been drunk. I have never done recreational drugs," she says. "Just look at my 20-year career. Tell me someone who is into partying or doing drugs that could have done that."

In her five years on
Idol, Abdul -- a singer and a movie, TV and stage choreographer -- has weathered criticism about her sometimes odd behavior, which has included slurred and garbled speech, and her not-so-subtle gushing over the show's young, male singers.

"There have been 100 million lies about me," says Abdul, who has said she's taken prescription medication for health problems, including inflammatory arthritis. "I'm squeaky clean. I've worked my ass off my entire life. (But) being involved in the show causes people to question everything."

Oh yeah?! How do you explain THIS:

Anyway, it's not about the fact that she looks drunk on a number of occasions, it's all about how the public likes to joke about celebrities' problems. You're in the public eye. Deal with it.
