Oh Paula!
Looks like ‘Ugly Betty’ has hired ’3rd Rock’ Emmy winner Kristen Johnston to replace Paula Abdul because the former ‘American Idol‘ judge requested ridiculous demands during negotiations and wouldn’t budge with her terms. Turns out that Paula was looking to have a private jet transport her to and from work and the ‘Ugly Betty’ team thought the request was absurd.
Kristen will now play Helen, the office temp role that has become more than a guest spot. The show promises it will be recurring.
Kristen joked about the replacement:
“I’ve always considered myself a poor man’s Paula Abdul,” Johnston says with a laugh. She describes her Betty character as “Amanda in 10 years. She’s still trying to get into the right clubs, wearing tight dresses… tragic. I think (Helen) sees herself as Samantha from ‘Sex and the City.’ Except, of course, she’s a temp.”
Johnston will first appear in the second half of “Betty’s” two-hour premiere on Oct. 9.
What do you think? Did Paula make the right decision? Is she playing hard ball with the wrong people?
love kristen…she’ll be great!!!!
It’s def a good thing to hold yourself in high esteem, but making these big demands in these economic times..? It’s a turn off.
I like Kristen. I think she’ll be great as 10-years-from-now-Amanda
Dude, the days of private jets are OVER. And that is a good thing. Is there anything more wasteful? It’s like taking a crap on the environment because you think you’re better than other people. I think it is great news that Ugly Betty said no to that.
There’s one issue I have not seen posted re Paul Abdul, but I think it’s serious enough to write about. Right now, we’re living through one of the worst recessions in history…..For Ms. Abdul to scoff at 10 million dollars, while we face unemployment around 12% is insulting and disgusting.
She deserves to lose everything by exposing her greed and insult to working people everywhere.
Kristen will be incredible. loved her as sally in 3rd rock.

As Lafayette would say, “Hooker, you need to check yourself.” Paula needs people around her to tell her the truth — that she is not the star she thinks she is and will be lucky to get a job. She should have hung on to AI with both hands. So sad, Paula.
Paula is making some very bad career choices. Sad.
Paula needs to step off her imaginary throne.
Its NOT Paulas fault .. its the Idol Producers, Idol people, whatever not being professional-just to break it down .. their stupidity has been shown big time. They need to pay her what she wants, she deserves it.
This isn’t about Idol, its about Ugly Betty.
Looks like Paula is digging her own grave. She is so NOT worth the demands she makes. What a tool.
Uhh your wrong also. You must not keep up just like the others that have posted on here negatively.
But she is making a mistake by not appearing on this show. That is her own damn fault. The Idol thing taken out of it, making crazy demands for a completely different show has nothing to do with Idol. This is stupid of her.
Wake up, Krissy. You can do it.
LOL..
Krissy sounds a little out of it, high even. Holy crap, Paula, is that you?
LOVE Kristen. I haven’t ever watched Ugly Betty but I might just to see her. I think the BEST was when Kristen was on Sex & the City and played the coked up wacko who falls out the window. She was freakin’ awesome. LMAO
That was the FUNNIEST Sex in the City with Kristen…!!!! Looking forward to the new Ugly Betty, for sure!!!
Not sure what planet Paula is on???
hahaha I forgot about that episode. Very funny !
So, I actually pulled out my dvds this afternoon to watch this episode. If anyone else is as bored as I am today: it was episode 18 on season 6, titled “Splat!”. bwahahahaha Lexi Featherston R.I.P.
I LOVED her in sex and the city too!lol
Wow, if this is true, then this has totally changed my views about Paula, sounds like she thinks she’s the shit and deserves the world and won’t take anything less.
Paula is a very foolish woman. Her career is pretty well gone!
