Paula Abdul Talks Stalker, Shows Off Jewelry (VIDEO)

Paula Abdul told the ladies of "The View" about her stalker nightmare that ended in the tragic suicide of Paula Goodspeed outside Abdul's house on November 11.

"It was extremely tragic... I was at Hollywood Week for American Idol when it happened. The crew knew but waited to tell me until I was done taping the show. But I had a premonition. I knew something was going on."

Paula said the same situation happened a few months earler

"What most people don't know is that she attempted the same thing. She went code blue, but she survived."

Goodspeed had been stalking Abdul for years.

"She had been a stalker/fan for about 17 years, mostly operating through fan clubs," Abdul said. "It wasn't until American Idol that she knew how to get to me."

Paula Abdul hasn't stayed at the home since, and plans to sell.

After the stalker talk, Abdul happily showed off the jewelry line she'll be selling on HSN.

Well, bless her. But I find her jewelry garish.

[klandish]

She has an exaggerated version of what most of have to some degree. Her emotions over a particular event seem tied to old baggage not attached to the specific issue at hand, the lag makes her appear out of touch - with or without drugs.

[houstonbch]

An exagerated version of what most what? The emotions one experiences when a long-time stalker commits suicide outside of their home?

[klandish]

No, her entire life is filled with one perceived trauma after another and most don't fill the bill of a profound event. This one perhaps, but I've seen her act just as addled over something small as something larger. There's a lot of crossover emotionally and not a lot of variation in intensity. All very intense.

She sounded funny...I hope she's ok.

[harriettubman]

I meant: In wealthy areas its not seen as a drug addiction just a prescription problem. Yeah, right.

[harriettubman]

She's pitiful. No wonder so many celebrities don't want to raise their children in Hollywood. There are no boundaries whatsoever. Stevie Wonder can see that Paula has been high on something for the past few years. In the upper Middle Class community its not seen as addiction; just a prescription addiction.

AI is just as bad. How can the other 2 judges and producers not hear her slurred speech, glassy eyes and slow behavior?

[rini]

How materialistic. That HSN....

I try to buy fair trade and environmentally responsible stuff. Sure, I can mess up, but if I were Paula, I would never promote stuff without knowing where it came from. Look what happened to Kathy Lee Gifford.

Don't you have enough money, Paula??

[felixtkatz]

She looked and sounded drunk to me!

[magneato]

Yeah, sad, tragic thing.
Anyway, back to my crappy merchandise...

[clsmithj]

Paula is hot. Straight up.

[FCBarca]

How long before she cried is the only question when it comes to this nutter

[Ellabean]

Abdul is brain- fried, just fried.

Sorta sweet and sensitive, but like many celebs, narcissitic, mega ego - thus she thinks she now can design jewelry. That crap looked so cheap.

[robXdion]

She just needs a mohawk to complete her Mr. T impersonation. . . . .

[robXdion]

Just kidding, HuffPo. Got nothing but love for Paula. She's forever my girl.
