New Judge, Surgery, Auditions... oh my.






Alright so, I do apologize for the lack of updates lately! I've been on Vacation for a week, and things have just been insane. But ANYWAY...we got a couple Paula updates for you. Which, I'm sure by now is all old news.

First off, there is a forth addition to the Idol Panel - Kara DioGuardi. I haven't heard too much positive vibes about this, personally. A lot of people may think this is a great idea. Not quite sure. But I myself, don't think its the best thing they could of done. I know they want "change"... But sometimes, change isn't good. We'll see how things work out though. Who knows, maybe this will end up being a good thing for the show? Now, apparently Kara use to live with Paula. Paula met her on the streets of NY, in front of a diner I believe. Then Paula convinced her to come to LA with her and live with her so she can help her with her career. Hey Paula.... why weren't you feeling this generous with us when you saw us in NY? ;-) We need jobs too!! ha ha .

Now, off of that subject... Paula has underwent a 7 hour operation on her neck not too long ago. Insane, right? From what I understand, she had 2 discs in her neck that needed to be replaced. And when they operated, they went in from the front of her neck. Near, or under her Adams apple. She's been wearing scarves and things to try and cover it up. But I really wish her the best of health. I hope that this surgery really helped her. She mentioned that right now, the only pain she has, is from the actual operation. We need her to get better, so she can finish her album and tour eventually. ;) And plus, I just really want her out of pain. It kills me to know that she's been going through all of this for years. So once again, I really hope this works. And I hope everyone keeps her in their prayers. This was a serious surgery... and thankfully everything went okay. We love you Paula <3

And one more thing. Auditions started up in NY on the 26th & 27th. Its so weird seeing Kara in the pictures.


Anyway, sorry that this is all semi-old news. Hopefully to SOME people its new news. ha ha. Hopefully there will be a - FAN BLOG - by Kaitlyn posted sometime soon. ( hurry up and finish it Kaitlyn!! haha).

Great job on the updates, Team Abdul... well thought out and to the point. I, too, hope that the surgery helps Paula with her pain management. I know how hard that can be, I have had lower back/spine problems for many years (too many "crash and burns" from my old career as a horse trainer..lol!) and know what that constant pain feels like. She is SUCH a trooper to be out and about so early after surgery. I am not even going to mention the heels, LOL! Paula, sweetie... be careful on those things, ok?

Kara...? I guess I am going to have to see this for myself, so the jury is still out. BUT, no one can replace Paula, she truly is "one of a kind" and brings so much experience to the table as a judge. I would truly love to see her in a more "X Factor" type role as a mentor... she would be tough to beat! ;>)
