Yesterday, Paula Abdul had this to say about Kara DioGuardi, American Idol’s terrible new judge: “Kara and I have known each other for years and we get along great … but we tried four judges before and it doesn’t work.†This morning, DioGuardi responded: “Paula has a right to her opinions, but I was disappointed by her comments, and hurt that she did not address them to me in person.†We’re not, though! Talking to the press seems like a much more effective way to spread the word! [NYP, Access Hollywood]
