Like I Needed Another Reason To Like Tina Fey
Tina Fey is not afraid to talk smack about anyone. You have to love that about her. There is none of the don't burn any bridges stuff with her. Her latest victim is Paula Abdul. In this month's Playboy, Tina Fey doesn't call Paula the worst guest in SNL history, but it was pretty damn close.
Paula was such a wreck, that SNL staffers were unsure she could even make it through a show. The writers had to simplify everything for her so she wouldn't get distracted. "Ooooh look. Lights. Pretty lights."
In an American Idol sketch, Paula claimed she wouldn't know how to play herself so Amy Poehler ended up having to play Paula's role. Paula was not amused by Amy's rendition.
I have always heard that Kathleen Turner was by far the worst guest host in the history of the show, but just for sheer brainless moronic behavior, Paula has to be right up there.
When Tina and Paula ran into each other the following year in an airport, Paula acted as if Tina were a nobody, and barely acknowledged her presence. I just hope that when American Idol begins again next month, that one day Paula will go get her botox injections, and then come to the show, and realize at some point that the injections have paralyzed her facial muscles and she is unable to open her mouth. I think in the past this would have happened, but she has managed to get a replacement. I want it to happen on the live show. I want it to be messy.
