The Week in Gossip: An “American Idol” Meltdown

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Paula’s biggest stalker commits suicide. A young woman, age 30, was found dead in a vehicle parked in front of Abdul’s house on Tuesday night. The woman, who unsuccessfully auditioned for season five of “American Idol,” called herself Paula Goodspeed and had been making life-sized drawings of Abdul since she was a kid. Her death appears to be a drug-induced suicide. Simon Scowl was his usual surly self (and then some) during Goodspeed’s audition. (Straight up, now tell me: What mature adult makes fun of the metal in someone’s mouth?) We can only wonder if “American Idol” will continue to air its pre-season contestant-bashing episodes anymore.

Now that we got a black president in the White House, what we need is . . . a black Wonder Woman? Beyoncé, err, Sasha Fierce, wants to star in a new “Wonder Woman” remake. And I want to change my name to Punky Brewster and go have a tea party with the purple Teletubby, but you don’t see me going public with that. Well. Until now.

It’s official: The world as we know it may come to an end in 2011.

Family-friendly entertainment? Not when Tracy Morgan’s in the house. If you missed his appearance on “The Today Show” this week, you missed the most inappropriate utterance ever aired on morning television. (And Kathie Lee Gifford, of all people, thinks “there’s a lot of truth” to his remarks. How the heck would she know? That woman has never stepped her stilettos in any ghetto. Please.)

Is that? No. It can’t be. That’s just—wait, is it? Really? Eww. Are they sure? The National Enquirer says it has the dirt on sweet ol’ Cindy McCain locking lips with some other Johnny who resembles “a washed-up ’80s rock musician.” Fact or fiction? Who knows, but the real question is: What’s this musician’s stance on the energy crisis?

Since when is Newsweek in the business of talking dirty? The mag wants to break the news on a nine-months-from-now baby boom. Reporter Jessica Bennett is taking a poll: Who went home on Nov. 4 and had a little celebratory sexytime fun? And who went home and made a beeline for the shower to wash the Republican stench out of her hair? (Only me? Yeah, that’s what I thought.)

Anyone in the market for a conceited genius? He’s sexy, beyond talented, and itchin’ for some babies, ladies! Kanye West, who split from his fiancée last April, told People magazine that he’s single and ready to mingle— it’s just a matter of finding a woman who can tolerate that colossal ego he carries around and see through all the fame (not to mention those damn blinds) he’s got goin’ on.

Pow! Bam! Guess Who? Not Gonna Tell You! While we’re anxiously teetering on our laurels waiting for Obama’s Boy Wonder to fly in his yellow cape, some men hope that Obama’s Robin is actually, um, a Catwoman. (Michael Moore swears Obama’s VP should a should be a certain Kennedy and Nader believes is none other than lil’ Hill, confident that Obama isn’t “dumb” enough to pick another staid, white, gov/senator. Speaking of other mystery people…

If You Thought a Certain Someone’s Bengali Child was Being Hidden…You may have never heard of Kathleen Hensley Portalski, but she’s certainly paying close attention to the campaign…and her sister. Wazzatz?! The half sister of Cindy McCain, hidden under layers of wool, is pissed off that she’s never been mentioned during the campaign. NPR reported this week that she is more than a little tiffed with Mrs. John McCain who continually claims she is an only child. “I’m upset,” 65-year old Portalski, and the un-heir (left only $10,000) to the Hensley throne says. “I’m angry. It makes me feel like a nonperson, kind of.” So why couldn’t Cindy McCain simply admit to a half-sister? That’s cold…

But Not as Cold As…Elton John’s new ice cream flavor which is like a tiny dancer on my tastebuds!

In Thought-Reform News: The NY Times is reporting that two adorable old Chinese women are being subject to a year of “re-education through labor,” after the 77 and 79-year old “made five visits to the police this month in an effort to get permission to protest what they contended was inadequate compensation for the demolition of their homes in Beijing.” According to state news, 77 people have filed public protest permits, and zero have been approved.
