Every time we watch "Hey Paula," we can't stop asking ourselves why on earth Paula Abdul, a celebrity with an already fragile public image, would agree to do a show that makes her look worse. Last night, however, another question popped into our head: Just how dumb do the makers of this show think we are? They tried to make it look like Abdul ditched a meeting with an interior designer at her rental house while she and her friends were nabbing free schwag at an Oscar event. It was 3:15 p.m. at the house, but the sun had clearly set outside the windows of the schwag suite. Straight up now tell us why you gotta misrepresent reality like that to us.
