Paula Abdul Valentine’s Day Date Ends With 911 Call

Paula Abdul had a crazed Valentine’s Day. Most people spent a ridiculous amount on flowers, chocolates and stuffed animals (aka poor people’s version of jewelry) but Paula’s day ended with a 911 call.

At 4:35 PM on Valentine’s Day 2011 Paula wanted to be taken home. Her date wasn’t obliging and the former ‘American Idol’ judge called 911.

Per TMZ:

“Paula cries and sobs hysterically and says, “I wanna go, and he won’t let me!” Seconds later Paula says, “Are you gonna drop me off ’cause I have emergency on the phone” — and shortly after that she says, “He’s dropping me off.”

She is barely able to form coherent directions as the operator tries to locate her. Later, cops got into contact with Paula and she stated it was a verbal dispute that got out of hand. The authorities checked on her that night and she refused to file a police report.

All is back to normal in her world. She was photographed leaving Villa Blanca restaurant in Beverly Hills in late February and smiled for looming paps.

Christina Aguilera Joins NBC’s ‘The Voice’

NBC’s answer to ‘American Idol‘ has found its’ Paula Abdul: The network has announced that Christina Aguilera will be the third coach on the new singing competition series ‘The Voice,’ joining Cee-Lo Green and Maroon 5′s Adam Levine, with the last fourth coach expected to be named shortly. Will she teach everyone to skip a line in a song?

Per EW:

“I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it,” Aguilera said in a statement. “To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists’ careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms. I am so happy to be working with fellow Grammy Award winners Adam and Cee Lo as I feel there is so much we can all bring to The Voice.”

The timing of the announcement could have been better. Aguilera was stopped and arrested early Tuesday morning after police said she was riding in a car while extremely intoxicated. And lets not forget how she flubbed the lyrics to our National Anthem, or when she fell on stage after singing a tribute to Aretha Franklin at this years Grammy Awards. Someone’s gotta coach the contestants on the fine art of oversinging.

The summer singing competition show – hosted by Carson Daly – will premiere April 26, right about the time American Idol will be down to its top 10. The show features the judges choosing to work with contestants based on their voices alone — they’re not allowed to see them first. Once they choose their favorites, they mentor them to stardom, and America will decide which contestant wins a recording contract and a cash prize.

Paula Abdul Gets Thrown Off TV Again

Paula Abdul’s 15 minutes are completely dried up! Her new show ‘Live To Dance‘ was just canceled by CBS because the viewership was so low! Now it seems she may be having a breakdown! Abdul kept hope alive that her show would gain viewers every week but it peaked around 4 million to watch the finals. Friends of the TV star said she is very “devastated” and had locked herself in her house for the past couple days.

Per Ace Showbiz:

Radar Online found out from a “source” that the bad news was delivered by phone on Friday, February 11 and Paula spent the weekend mourning. “She spent the weekend at her home, surrounded by friends, rehashing CBS’ devastating decision and wondering what she would do next,” a source said.

She left American Idol just 2 season ago and really hasn’t been able to recover as a talent. The only thing she can hope for is that Simon Cowell wants her on his ‘X Factor‘ show. Until then I’m sure she’ll be on a long alcohol and pill binge!

Introducing Sunny Singer-Songwriter Alyssa Bernal

When multiplatinum artist and producer Pharrell Williams is so anxious to get in touch with someone that he contacts their high school to try and track them down, you know that there is something special happening. When that happened to singer-songwriter and YouTube sensation Alyssa Bernal, the teenager was shocked. “They didn’t know who Pharrell was! They just thought it was some shady guy trying to get a hold of me,” laughs Alyssa. Her mother finally spotted his MySpace message and 24 hours later, she and Alyssa were on a plane from their home in San Antonio, TX to meet Pharrell and Interscope Records Chairman Jimmy Iovine in Los Angeles. “Finding a new talent like Alyssa is so exciting to me,” says Pharrell. “There are a lot of young singers out there who can carry a tune, but Alyssa is the real deal. She is a true musician with an incredible voice.”

Once signed to Star Trak, Alyssa met with her dream producer, Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, Train). Terefe’s schedule was fully booked for the next few months, but after an hour-long meeting with the young singer, he agreed to work with her – starting immediately. Alyssa and her mother moved to London for seven weeks to record her debut album, “In Love Again For The First Time.” Terefe helped develop Alyssa’s naturally sunny sound, enlivening her pop sensibility with notes of funk and soul. First single “Cali Cali Cali” is available on iTunes now, and is the perfect example of Alyssa’s sunny yet substantive style. Visit AlyssaBernal.com to watch her DIY video of the track and stay tuned to the site for updates on her debut!
