What was wrong with Paula Abdul?

I love Paula but there was something up with her this morning on KTVU with Ross McGowen. She sounded slurred and couldn't sit still. If you haven't seen the clip here is the link.

She has had a long history with pain medication. Maybe she is addicted again

I love Paula too,but that was plain weird. It almost looked like she was drunk. Ross was trying not to fight with her. Maybe they'll explain it a little on American Idol tonight. They may say that she was tired, or she had a crappy ear piece, or people were distracting her, or she's just gotten overwhelmed because the season's starting and all the interviews she has to do. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior though.

Yeah, they were talking about it last night on MSNBC and the people that were on said that she was drunk or high. There was also speculation that it was done to get publicity for American Idol which restarts this week?

She was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night. I don't know if that was damage control or just more publicity. She seemed kind of spacey and twitchy on there too.

Who knows?

I personally think she may have drinking or drug problem. She's always a little loopy in her interviews and sometimes on the show. A lot of her behavior reminds me of how people act when they're drunk, but trying to act like they're not.

There are a few different clips going around, I think she's on drugs personally...there's no reason for someone to act like that on tv.
