Paula Abdul -- Consumer Confuser

TMZ has obtained video that aired Friday on QVC, and it seems that "Idol" judge Paula Abdul was having a little trouble expressing herself. Tongue-tied?

Abdul was attempting to promote her jewelry line, and seemed quite confused as to what the hell she was talking about.

46. What if Paula really does have a disease that she's not disclosing to the public? Like Parkinson's?

I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until I learn otherwise. I think everyone else should too.

49. I agree with everyone who says that she is taking some kind of drug - recreational or prescribed. Yes, she's acts goofy sometimes, but in this clip she definitely has some kind of drug in her body. I'm surprised that QVC allowed her to go on air in that condition. Kudos to the hostess for playing along with it - she deserves a huge bonus.

50. To: #47 #48 #49 What cold hearted bitch's (bastard, whatever) To: # 49 Same to you and I've been on pain medication for years too and I understand about the body's addapting to high levels of the med.'s too, but that gives you NO RIGHT to come down on ANYONE whether that's their illness on not. Just who do you think you are? None of you even know for sure what's going on with her and if you'd read my comment # 40 maybe you'd see that there are several different illness that can cause those symptoms, and addiction is an illness also so it's just too damned bad that you people were born without any sympathy, emapathy, or braincells enough to at least look into other medical conditions before you go judging and spewing your idiocracy accross the net!

51. Lisa marie STFU and stop acting like you matter.... because you don't. Now run along and pop another pill and blame some strange illness.

52. Leave my Paula alone..She is adorable, fun and sincere. You can't find any dirt on Paula so this crap is being made up,. I would be tongue-ied if I was selling stuff on QVC .

53. Paula needs to get off the air and stay off the air because she is so incoherent and everybody knows this. Whether she is taking these drugs or not, she obviously needs some medical attention as well as someone who're suppose to be her friends and family and co-workers to do the right thing and help her. Haven't we learned what our actions should be with respect to Anna Nicole? And Britney? And others?

54. You know i have watched her a few times and she doen't seem to be intoxicated, it's more like a neurological problem, like MS, which I suffer from. I have had people ask if I have been drinking. She sometimes seems like her legs are either really stiff or really rubbery, just like a person suffering from MS. I think if she were a stoner you would have people coming out and saying they have seen her using or whatever. So don't accuse until you know.

55. To: #55 Call me anything you want, didn't seem to bother you when # 49 talked about their "PILL POPPIN PROBLEM" as you called it. What's the matter? Can't handle a little truth, reality, admission that you're "WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!" Judging other's when you don't even have a clue what's actually happening to someone? Who died and made you God, thinking you know something (or with your ego, probably think you know everything) about people you don't even know??? GROW UP!!!

56. I noticed her movements become erratic, like suddenly dancing or jumping up etc when she screws up her speech. Could it be an illness that she moves around a lot to hide involuntary movement? Is her speech a sign that a spell so to speak is coming on?

Does MS cause these speech and movement patterns? I know MJ Fox has Parkinson's with the movement but I don't think it effected his speech did it?

57. Good Grief !!! That was a spoke's person for her own line of jewlery.? Talk about unprofessional.

WTF ??? I've been jet jagged before and I can still speak .She's had far too many displays of this odd and irrational behavior to call it an " illness"

Yeah.... it's an illness alright. It's called alcolism and drug addiction. Quit making excuses for her. If she is suffering from RDS than I'd have a lot more respect for her if she would just come out and SAY SO. It would help raise awareness and help other victims as well. That's why I don't think she has it.

By hiding something like this and trying to mask the symptoms with " drugs " that result in these types of " side effects " only makes her look worse.

I think her public appearances " tell it all " She is another Anna Nicole in the making. Somebody PLEASE intervene and get this girl some help..

58. WELL MAYBE SHE IS TAKING SOMETHING FOR PAIN AND MAYBE SHES VERY PILED UP..SO TO SPEAK..NOT TO BE MEAN BUT..AFTER VIEWING THE VIDEO ON TMZ...IF SHE HAD A SKANKY DRESS ON..AND FLIRTED ABIT MORE..WITH BLOND HAIR..SHED BE AN OTHER ANNA NICOLE SMITH!!DONT YA'LL THINK??HMMMMM I WONDER.....

59. What if Paula is drunk or on pills? It's the job of the parents to wade through what their children watch and who they admire. I must say that someone who was a cheerleader and little singing ability( some say none} she's making tons of money! who is the stupid one?

60. Back in 1995 she said she takes enbrel and is no longer in pain. Enbrel does not cause you to act like you are drunk or on drugs. She said her wacky ways are just her being happy.

Hmmmmm, doesn't take a genius to see she is obviously taking drugs. I noticed all of her wording when she would defend herself is I'm not addicted to drugs, never denying taking them just saying she isn't addicted.

As long as the enablers support her she will continue on her self destructive path.
