FitSugar — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 08:17:03 -0800

Do you love Paula Abdul and cheerleading? Of course you do. Now you can have it all with Cardio Cheer. The complete 5-Disc set is only $74.98.

She got her start cheerleading with the Laker Girls. Paula says, "It's the fundamentals I learned in cheerleading that have been my foundation for success."

This exercise video involves stretching (yoga), power moves, lunges, clapping (that's right), and jumps. "Practice until the moves become a part of your body, and watch how your confidence grows and grows."

Paula ends with, "Now let's get lean, get toned, and get the legs, abs, and arms you always wanted by giving it your all."

I have to say, it looks really fun, even though it is slightly on the cheesy side. A lot of girls always dreamed of being cheerleaders, so here's your chance to learn those moves.

Are You There Paula? It's Me, Your Mind

GiggleSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Last night's episode of American Idol strayed from the norm and gave the remaining five contestants not one but two opportunities to sing their hearts out and garner enough votes to make the final four. This complicated change of plan put our gal Paula into a head spin. The hallucinations followed (natch) and by the end of the first round of performances, she thought Jason Castro went twice when he only performed once - and did David Cook sing at all? Poor Paula took massive notes during the show, but they curiously didn't help . . .

Letterman to Paula: "Are You Drunk?"

GiggleSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Paula Abdul appeared on Letterman Monday night to promote a plethora of projects, including a song she contributed to Randy Jackson's new album. Last month, Paula and Randy teamed up to showcase their new ditty at the Super Bowl. Of course, Letterman tried to get Paula to comment on her big comeback performance, but our gal was too busy playing "opposite day" and talking like a robot to give a straight answer. This prompted Letterman to ask the burning question . . .

Paula Abdul Is Funny When She's Not Trying

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:00:00 -0800

What's with this new trend of pop stars doing humor? Earlier this week, we saw Janet spoof a teen witch and now Paula's pimping her new single by way of a self-deprecating comedy sketch. The self-effacing part could've been unintentional, but that's exactly why we love the dancer turned singer turned poster child of crazy- yeah? For more Paula, tune into Best Week Ever tonight on Vh1.

Paula's Superbowl Performance Gets Judged

GiggleSugar — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 10:00:00 -0800

If you haven't heard, Paula Abdul was part of the Superbowl festivities this past Sunday. The ex-princess of pop gave a pre-game comeback show and debuted her new single, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow." The whole shebang was typical Paula - nothing new - but the real question is: what did Simon Scowl think? Could girlfriend be the next American Idol?

Flashback: Paula Abdul's 900 Number

GiggleSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:00:00 -0800

900 numbers were big back in the day. Every rising star seemed to think that their fans had nothing better to do than to spend time and a significant chunk of change (two freaking dollars the first minute and 45 cents the second?!) calling them to hear lord knows what. Paula here tells us, "Call me-I've got news for you!" Yeah, the news that you've been relieved of about $2.45, and then some.

American Idol Is Ba-ack!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:28:41 -0800

American Idol premiered last night and we know the routine by now: they're gonna show us the worst before the best. But the worst really are the best cuz that's when all the crazies come out of the woodwork. Take this serial killer: he can't sing, he can't rhyme, he can't even spare us the sight of his chest fuzz. He also can't keep his eyes off of Crazy Paula- a red flag in and of itself.

Paula Abdul Bratz Meltdown

GiggleSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 04:00:00 -0700

Earth to Paula: It's not the end of the world if this Bratz Doll movie gets made without you. In fact, it'd be great if this movie weren't made at all. That way, every young girl's role model won't look like she should be twirling around a pole in hooker platforms. Watching this makes me think of those old movies when the heroine starts getting hysterical and someone grabs her and smacks her around a few times so that she comes to her senses. Instead, her "friends" just make that face you make when you're around someone crazy...
