Seems that Paula Abdul just can’t seem to learn the lessons of Watergate, to whit “The cover-up is more damaging than the crime.” Now she claims that she has never been drunk. That may be, but I love the way she said it, telling Us Weekly magazine:

“I’ve never been drunk. I have never done recreational drugs,” she says. “Just look at my 20-year career. Tell me someone who is into partying or doing drugs that could have done that.”

Okay, hmmm. Maybe Keith Richards for starters… And what a meteoric career, from washed up Laker’s girl to Bobby Brown escort to brief flash-in-the-pan music career to humorous music video doctoring scandal (to make her seem thinner) to washed-up has-been on American Idol most notable for having an affair with a contestant!
