Love It Or Hate It: Paula Abdul
Paula Abdul attended Sir Richard Branson's 'Rock The Kasbah' held at Vibiana in Los Angeles last night. The former 'American Idol' judge showed off a new hair cut and I was curious to hear what you thought about the new look.
Personally, I prefer her previous style... but everyone needs a change every now and then.

Jennifer Hudson Taking Pictures Of The Paparazzi
You have to wonder what Jennifer Hudson will do with the pictures she took of the paparazzi taking pictures of her. Will she print them? Email them around to her friends? Was it all for show? An attempt to send the photographers a "message" about how invasive the whole thing feels? I'm not so sure they care.
Here's the singer out with friends in Los Angeles carrying the latest Cosmopolitan and a great looking Canon.

Katharine McPhee: Hair Sparks Different Creativity
Katharine McPhee chatted with E! Daily 10 to discuss her new video, her new hair and what her new album will sound like. One of the things Katharine shares is that her new 'do has given her a different sense of creativity.
“I think about what I want to wear a little bit differently than I did with the long brown hair. I got sort of complacent with the long brown hair, whereas with this I'm like ‘hmmm what today can I be creative with?’”
She also shared that some people still don't recognize her with the new blonde locks.
“I've literally gone up to some people I've known my whole life and I'm like hi, and it takes them like five seconds to recognize me.”
And the opposite sex isn't noticing her as much as she'd hoped!
“I thought the men would check me out more. I don't know.”
She was inspired by music videos of the 90s for her new video for the song "Had it All".
“I kind of wanted to go back to some of the music videos from the 90s where music videos didn't really have so much of a specific story. Even though it definitely has a story and a message, but sort of more like an artistic visual concept - to leave it up to the audience to decide where this girl is at this moment in time in this vacant desert singing this song.”
Katharine's new album, set to release on January 5, 2010, is a very different sound than her first.
“I definitely feel like I've grown up a little bit and I've gotten to really explore myself musically. It's called ‘Unbroken.’ It's totally different. It’s much more of an organic kind of lush, full sound than my first record.”

Are you a fan of Katharine's? Did you buy the first album? Do you plan to buy the new one?

Simon Cowell And Paula Abdul Stay In Touch
Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul stay in contact with one another even though the no longer work together. The former ‘American Idol’ judge even admits that Simon repeatedly expresses his devotion to her during their conversations. She told FOX News:
"I've talked to Simon. He misses me, and I know it. I talk to him a lot - he says he loves me and that is really disturbing to me.”
Paula is still struggling to come to terms with her decision to quit, but promises to watch the new series. The singer-and-choreographer said:
"I feel tremendously blessed to have made history with that show. I felt like I was a mamma-bear to cubs and I was there to protect them. I'll miss that but I'll be rooting on everyone."
Do you think they will have her come on as a guest judge? Or is this bridge burned to the ground?
