Paula Abdul is Still a Mess

A slurring, disoriented Paula Abdul was on QVC this weekend, generating more interest in her bizarre on-air antics than her jewelry line.

It's the age old question: What's wrong with Paula Abdul?

There are a few theories as to why Paula often appears to be intoxicated in public.

#1) She's drunk. This seems the obvious choice. Paula displays actions similar to an inibriated person, such as slurring, not finishing complete thoughts and slowed reaction time for example.

#2) She pops pills. Another front runner, and possibly combined with #1.

#3) She has a medical condition in which she has not yet been diagnosed or has not come public with. This is truly another possibility that many overlook. I find it weird that the producers of American Idol would put her out there, 'drunk' and unable to complete sentences even if they are going for ratings. How incredibly low would that be, to exploit someone's illness like that? It would be very low, but certainly reality shows have been known to do worse.
