Should Paula Abdul Leave American Idol?
Do the song titles "Vibeology," and "Spellbound" mean anything to you? Those titles don't ring a bell huh? Well those are the titles of two songs from Paula Abdul's sophomore album Spellbound. Paula was never critically acclaimed as a singer. As a matter of fact, when the tour to promote her sophomore album was canceled due to an injury the media buzzed that the tour was canceled because of all of the controversy regarding whether she lipped sync, or if her voice was even "real." At the time there were rumors that her background singers vocals were blended with hers, and some media even buzzed that her voice was electrically enhanced in the studio. Several studio singers even filed a lawsuit regarding the use of their vocals on the Forever Your Girl album. I love Spellbound and was always a fan of Paula's but when I heard she was a judge on the new show American Idol a few years ago I instantly assumed that she was going to be choreographing the show and giving the talent dance lessons or something. I had no idea she was going to be critiquing songs.

That aside, now this new scandal. I do believe that Paula Abdul had some kind of inappropriate relationship with Corey Clark. He shouldn't have even had her phone number. Those phone records convince me that they had some kind of communication outside of the structure of the show and I just don't believe this young man is lying about everything. In my opinion, if they were just having an affair that is one thing. I feel the most damaging aspects of his allegations is that she allegedly coached him on what songs to choose and his fashion. I shouldn't even post this story because I am sure it will have to be updated very soon. I am about 100% positive that Paula won't be back as a judge. If she did put her career come back in jeopardy because of this young guy that is so foolish. The scandal won't go away and I'm sure the people behind the show will pay her to go away quietly. They won't fire her, that will alienate fans of the show that don't want her to leave. She will resign gracefully with a nice little payment I'm sure. Some websites are hosting polls to suggest Paula's replacement. I think Janet Jackson, Taylor Dayne (she's trying to make a come back), Jody Watley (Fox probably won't think she is big enough) or Madonna (she would never do it), would make great replacements.
Anna Nicole Deserves Some Props

Anna Nicole Smith deserves a round of applauds. No doubt about it she was fat a few years ago when she appeared on the E Show Anna Nicole. Anna Nicole got with Trim Spa and lost over 70 pounds and she looks good. Some people tried to diss her saying she had lost too much weight. Don't you just love the tabloids? First they attacked her for being too big then they hated on her saying she had gotten too small. Anna Nicole and the tabloids have kissed and made up. One tabloid Anna has gotten friendly with is the National Enquirer. Anna now has her own column that appears in the new and improved National Enquirer every week. Her column is quite interesting. Recently she addressed the claims that a woman named Donna Hogan has made to the press. Donna is Anna's half sister, but according to Anna she has never met the woman (who is her fathers daughter), and that she didn't even learn that the woman existed until she became a celebrity. Anna also dishes her feelings about other celebrities and provides readers with insight about her life. Anna really has made a huge come back. Prior to the reality show and losing the weight Anna was really a person of the whose star was on the rapid decline. She really has turned her world around. She also hints that she might have another television show in the works. You can check out Anna's column on-line at http://www.nationalenquirer.com/Anna
Who is Jacki-O and is she using this Foxy beef to make a come up?

If you read magazines like The Source, Vibe, XXL and frequent websites such as allhiphop.com and sohh.com then you have probably heard of Jacki-O. She is a Miami rapper who was poised for national success with the release of her debut album Po Little Rich Girl. Well the album was released last fall, and didn't really blow Jacki-O up that much. Now she was in the studio last month and a fight allegedly broke out between her and female rapper Foxy Brown. In Foxy's version of the events that took place she says a fight never happened. Jacki-O claimed victory in the girlfight and quickly released her Foxy Brown diss song, "T.K.O." The song is giving Jacki some of her first widescale national air play. Some people feel like Jacki is using this incident to blow up her career. Rap beefs do garner artists attention. The beef between Ja Rule and 50 Cent has gone on for years and 50's beef with just about everyone garnered major buzz for his sophomore release The Massacre. I personally, think it was in poor taste for Jacki-O to claim victory in the "fight." It's a petty and childish situation.

And remember...this is just my opinion.
