Paula Abdul "obsessed" with beating Jennifer Lopez

Paula Abdul is acting delusional and obsessive again. Uh oh, she must be low on meds and black market horse tranquilizer again. From the Chicago Sun Times:

"I want to kick their butts," Paula Abdul told a friend and longtime fellow "American Idol" associate the other day. The ex-"Idol" judge was showcasing her rarely revealed, very strong competitive nature -- talking up her new CBS series, "Live to Dance."

"Paula loves the fact she's going to go head-to-head with 'Idol' on Wednesday and Thursday nights, when both shows kick off in January," said the source.

"I never knew she had this thing about Jennifer Lopez," added the BZ spy. "Apparently, it really bugs her that people are comparing her to J. Lo. It's like she's obsessed about it, which is weird," added the former Abdul associate.

According to the source, Abdul's strong desire to "bury" her former show was one of the reasons the top prize on "Live to Dance" has been boosted to $500,000.

Sorry Paula. The only way your show will ever beat American Idol is if your contestants are extremely gifted dancers in the vein of The Royal Ballet School of the UK or The Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet. Or they're strippers. Here in the US, the formula to getting the best ratings is really quite simple: tits, ass, and more tits. Don't believe me? Just look at this site.
