Tina Fey Calls Paula Abdul On "SNL" A Disaster

Tina Fey has no kind words for "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul. She tells the January issue of Playboy that Abdul was a "disaster" when she appeared on "Saturday Night Live.' How so?

"In the ways she generally appears to be," Fey says. "It was an 'American Idol' sketch, and she wanted to change parts. So Amy Poehler had to play her."

Fey goes on, "A year later I saw her on a flight. We both looked at each other like, 'Do I know that girl?' And then we both had the same moment of recognition, and she was like 'uuuggh.' I saw it register on her face that she had had a terrible time with us."

Fey says Abdul's appearance "was awful."

"I was pregnant at the time and probably a little moody, but I remember thinking, 'She's a disaster! I gotta prop this lady up and get her on TV.' "

Oh get over yourself Tina Fey, you appear to me to have that, "everyone should be and think this way because" attitude

your quote: "In the ways she generally appears to be,...she wanted to change parts. So Amy Poehler had to play her."

So what, im sure Barbra Streisand and Britney Spears due this shit all the time.

Abdul has been around and has worked a lot harder in the business than you Tina Fey, with your intellectual elitist crap.

Tina who???

And that little picture of Tina that accompanies this story is hot as hell.

Paula Abdul can't sing, can't really dance (especially now that she's an obvious crazy pill head) and she just generally is a disgusting cartoon. Pass.

Hey, give Paula a break. It's tough to kick oxycontin when you're drunk.

I'm lolling here, cause does anybody think Paula's anything other than a train wreck? Did you see her "reality" show?

[Ginzaman]

What's the point of mentioning this?

[Fuji]

UM, OK, but why are you mentioning this now?

[NewRiver]

Tina Fey is one sexy lady.

I wouldn't sell Tina's acumen short. I guess she knows then 'bout Paula. Ouch, another icon with feet of clay.
