It's Just The Way That We Love Her: Paula Abdul Throws Down Obscurantist Challenge To Fans

Now for a new occasional feature entitled What's Your Point, Paula?, in which chivalrous Lost in Showbiz readers are invited to take their trusty swords to the densely overgrown creepers of Paula Abdul's mind, and make their way to the sleeping princess of meaning possibly enclosed therein.

And so, for your consideration:

"I've endured life journeys that people never in a million years would ever think of experiencing," the American Idol judge tells a US magazine. "I have risen from the bowels of hell and come out tripping and singing and dancing. I've always been counted out, but I come back, like a stealth warrior."

Happy slashin'!

Elsewhere, given Paula's well-publicised battles with free range chihuahuas and malfunctioning radio headphones, you might find her response to a Metro interviewer's inquiry ever so slightly disingenuous. To wit:

Metro: What is the most common misconception of you?

Paula: I'm not as short as I look on TV.

Mm. Second most common, surely?
