Kara DioGuardi’s First Day on American Idol

Kara DioGuardi, the freshly-appointed fourth “ American Idol” judge, joined Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson in a public show of solidarity Tuesday afternoon as they entered a Chelsea Piers building on Manhattan’s west side for a round of season eight auditions.

“Kara has a good reputation of A, having hits; and B, having an opinion. And that’s a good combination,” Cowell said, adding, matter-of-factly: “And she’s cute.”

“I know Kara, and she speaks her mind — so she will be speaking her mind,” Abdul said of DioGuardi’s judging technique.

“That’s a nice way of saying she’s bitchy,” Cowell sniped, eliciting a “Whooooooooah!” from Jackson.

“Then what are you if I’m bitchy?” DioGuardi said.

“Sincere,” Cowell responded.

“I’m sincere too,” she said.

Cowell said they hadn’t fully decided how ties will be broken in the audition process. In past seasons, two out of three judges had to agree to advance aspiring pop stars to the Hollywood round.

Cowell says that he will be sitting in between the two girls… and that Paula will have to quit talking as much so they can hear all four opinions in the tight-crunched show. Nice.

American Idol’s Getting a New Judge

The eighth season of American Idol might look a big different with the departure of Nigel Lythgoe as executive producer and the addition of Kara DioGuardi as the fourth judge on the panel.

“We are turning the heat up on Idol this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges’ table,” Idol creator and executive producer Simon Fuller said. “She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America’s most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show.”

According to Fox reality chief Mike Darnell, DioGuardi’s addition represents a victory of sorts for Abdul. “For the past seven seasons, Paula has had to endure the experience of being the only woman at the judges’ table,” said Darnell. “She’s been as an island of consideration and gentle criticism between Randy and Simon, offering her invaluable expertise as a performer and No. 1 artist to the thousands who have competed on American Idol. With Kara by her side, Paula finally has some back-up and now there is going to be a lot more ‘girl power’ on the show.”

Never heard of DioGuardi? Neither had I. Here are some of her credits.

DioGuardi’s songs have appeared on more than 100 million records. Her songs have been recorded by Grammy award-winning artists including Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Santana, Pink and Idol winners Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

DioGuardi has also written or co-written several songs that have been performed and released by Idol finalists, including “Walk Away” with Kelly Clarkson, “Real Thing” for Bo Bice, “The Way” with Clay Aiken, and additional songs with Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks. DioGuardi also writing or co-writing material for David Cook and David Archuleta’s upcoming debut albums.

In additional, scores of major recording artists — including Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Pussycat Dolls, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Natasha Bedingfield, Jewel, Ashley Tisdale, Katharine McPhee, Taylor Hicks, Bo Bice, Clay Aiken, Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, Jessica Simpson, Kylie Minogue, Enrique Iglesias, Nick Lachey and Marc Anthony — have also released DioGuardi’s songs.

Paula Abdul, What Are You Wearing?

Paula Abdul is obviously drinking again.  Why else would she attend the ALMA Awards wearing this dress?  There are probably a couple of small children or maybe Verne Troyer stuck in her train.  Let me be ’straight up’ with you, girl - FIRE YOUR STYLIST!  Ay chihuahua!

Paula Abdul In Usual Fine Form on ‘Idol’ Last Night

Once again giving the nation ample reason to believe that she drinks before going on the air, Paula Abdul got goofy on last night’s American Idol.

The judges usually critique each singer in turn after they perform. Last night they decided to wait until all the contestants had sung one song, then gave all the feedback together.

Paula couldn’t handle the change, though.

Shuffling through notecards, the visibly flustered judge offered up her criticism on two songs by Jason Castro. The problem: He’d only sung one song.

“Jason, first song, I loved hearing your lower register, which we never really hear, um….” Abdul began. “The second song, I felt like your usual charm wasn’t — it was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty.”

The five contestants and Ryan Seacrest stood on the stage, baffled.

“The two songs,” Abdul went on, “made me feel like you’re not fighting hard enough to get into the top four.”

When Randy Jackson finally corrected her, first she claimed she thought Jason had sung two, then said she got confused because she looked ahead in her notes.

Check out the video! She looks completely out of it and then claims, “This is hard!” Yes, Paula, we are sure that it is very hard for you to get up and get out of bed and be vertical and look relatively conscious… what’s in that Coca-Cola cup that’s always on the table in front of you anyway??

Paula Abdul caught a fan taking a picture of her peeing….

Paula said this about the incident:

“I was mortified and she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. I honestly was weirded out by that and she was so nervous that she thought I wouldn’t even notice.

And I was like, ‘No, no, that’s not cool.’ I said to her, ‘A real good tip, don’t do that to anyone else.’”

Awww, Paula was so nice about it…can’t say I would react the same way!

Paula’s Pretaped Preshow Performance

Paula Abdul apparently wasn’t trusted enough to perform live during the Superbowl, so they did a pretaped version of her performance of “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow” to play during the preshow. Paula Abdul and Tom Petty? I feel as though I’ve stepped into a time warp!

Their back-and-forth bickering might make for great American Idol drama, but Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell are really friends off screen. At least that’s what she tells TV Guide in a recent interview.

Abdul says that their ribbing – and her on-camera grimacing – is just for show. “We have cultivated a fun relationship …. He’s actually become a really good friend,” says Abdul.

But she adds that Cowell’s troublemaking tendencies can cause some problems. “In the middle of me trying to figure out how I’m going to say something that gives someone dignity walking off that stage, I’ve got the antagonistic brother goofing on me, trying to throw me off,” she says in the interview.

Still, Abdul is clear about one thing: Don’t mistake her friendly repartee with flirting. “Oh, puh-leez!,” she says, when asked about rumors of a possible romance. “He said, ‘Paula, people want us to hook up so bad.’ I said, ‘That’s disgusting.’ He goes, ‘Paula, I know you want me,’ and I go, ‘Like a cold sore.’ ”

She adds, spoken like a sister, “We have fun playing up the chemistry, but there’s also times when I would cross the other side of the street so I wouldn’t have to look at him.”

I say since the girl thinks the guy is like her brother, she should just do what I did marry him and have his kids. I mean what’s so bad about keeping it in the family.
