Paula Abdul is insane

You don't fuck with Paula Abdul . . . says the voice in Paula Abdul's head. She's gonna teach those no-good American Idol producers a lesson! From the National Enquirer:

Paula's plan for revenge! Still fuming after her unceremonious exit from American Idol in early August, Abdul, 47, is banking on her upcoming one-woman Las Vegas show becoming a mega-hit.

"Paula believes she's got the draw of a Cher or Bette Midler and she's determined to rub the noses of the 'Idol' bosses in her success," a Sin City insider told The ENQUIRER. "She's funneling her anger and resentment into making this project a hit. She wants to strike back. It's not just about the money. Her new mantra is success is the best revenge."

Even before ankling Idol, the eccentric entertainer and choreographer was working on a music-and-dance extravaganza, similar to the wildly successful Cirque du Soleil.

"If this thing takes off, Paula wants to spin off a TV version," added the friend. "Her fantasy is to go up in the same time slot as American Idol - and to DESTROY THEM."

With her various addictions, is Las Vegas really the best place for Paula? Paula Abdul living in Vegas is akin to R. Kelly living at a middle school. It just seems like statutory rape --- errrrrr, I mean "trouble" waiting to happen. Besides, the only types of celebrities that make it big in Vegas are magicians, prop comics, and gay dudes that play with animals . . . and all of those markets are already dominated by Criss Angel.
