SOMETHING SMELLS FUNNY

Paula Abdul arguably is the most boring of the three American Idol judges, but nevertheless, Bravo is making a docu-series about her life.

Hey Paula is scheduled to make its debut later this year on the cable network. Naturally, the show will follow Abdul through the upcoming American Idol season (which begins Jan. 16 on Fox).

Now that could be entertaining. Maybe there will be some backstage footage of Abdul telling off Simon Cowell, or clips of her hard at work conjuring up a batch of silly, motherly sounding compliments that she later uses to praise Idol contestants.

The dark side, as it were, of Hey Paula is that it also will follow the development of Abdul's own perfume and cosmetics line. Given this product element, Hey Paula could resemble an infomercial rather than a TV show. Stay tuned.
