Tweet from Paula Abdul

You all must (I think I overuse italics, bold and underlining) know who Paula Abdul is, even though my hopeless friend Nick didn't! She was an 80's (70's...? Don't think she's that old) popstar and became even more famous this century with the success of American Idol! She was one of the judges, until she got booted, well "quit" (...) after failing to negotiate a good contract. If she did quit it'd be fair enough cause I remember she was only being paid like $3 million per season when Simon was on like $20+ million, which is a little ridiculous considering they do the same job, he's just more of an ass hole about it.

I admit that I do enjoy Kathy Griffin's jokes about her always being wasted on drugs or her admitted "pain killer addiction" (which Tila Tequila also claimed to have when she was trying to get on Dr. Drew's "Celebrity Rehab" reality show, but after she was rejected the addiction disappeared. Unlike Tila to lie and be a fake whorey bitch... NOT.) but I did love Paula since she had a song called "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" and I did her as one of my first 'Celebrity of the Week's I think, she's amazing.

ANYWAY the point of this post is because this morning, when I was too busy worrying about the Christchurch earthquake (about 5 hours from where I live, a 7.1 earthquake struck 31km west of a major New Zealand city) which caused mass destructive and by far is the closest and most horrific natural disaster I've ever known in the South Island, where I live, in my 18 years and just over a month of life. SO last night I tweeted Paula saying:

"@PaulaAbdul You have like a thousand wise quotes a day! Please reply. :)"

It was a little desperate I know, I actually forgot I said that until now, oh well, it worked. She always posts inspirational quotes, the one I actually replied to was:

" “What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.” --Ralph Waldo Emerson"

ANYWAY, this is what she replied to me with!


Try and tell me that's not amazing! She has 1,725,583 followers (which is A LOT!) and it's a verified account, so it was definitely her - and why wouldn't it be? She's got a new dance show coming out, but it's not like she's so flat out she can't tweet. So needless to say... this is by far the most A-List tweet I have ever gotten! As much as I love hate Tila Tequila and actually do love Kathy Griffin's personal assistant Tiffany Reinhart, co-star of "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List", Paula is a name to be reckoned with! Loves it!
