It’s back to the unemployment line for Paula. The return of Divas Live! won’t mark the beginning of a beautiful partnership between VH1 and former American Idol host Paula Abdul.
The notoriously emotional Paula proved to be a “major pain” who caused “chaos on the set” of rehearsals for her gig as host of the Sept. 17 Divas concert special live from Brooklyn, NY, a chatty network source revealed in the Oct. 5 issue of GLOBE.
“Paula freaked out and started bawling over one of the pretaped skits she didn’t like,” the VH1 snitch complained to GLOBE’s “Loosch Lips Column” on Thursday. “She insisted it be entirely reworked, then demanded numerous last minute changes to her big dance number as well.”
Guess we won’t be seeing Paula as the host of Charm School!
Paula Abdul spoofed Ellen DeGeneres in good humor at the VH1 Divas! Live Concert at the Howard Gilman Ballroom in Brooklyn, New York on Thursday night. Last week, FOX and producers of American Idol announced that the Emmy-winning DeGeneres would replace Paula as a judge on the upcoming season of the ratings juggernaut.

By the looks of this brief sneak preview clip from rehearsal this week, Paula will be dancing to her ’80s dance hits as she hosts Idol alums Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, and Jordin Sparks, along with new Adele, Leona Lewis, and Miley Cyrus, at this evening’s show live from Brooklyn, NY.
Divas airs @ 9PM ET on VH1.
Did you know Paula Abdul got her VH1 Divas hosting gig at her local employment agency? Not really — but the idea sure makes for a clever concept in this newly released ad promoting next week’s big show.
VH1 will air VH1 Divas – starring Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and Leona Lewis — live from the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday, Sept. 17 @ 9PM.
Oscar and Grammy Award-winning vocalist Jennifer Hudson will join previously announced honorees Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Jordin Sparks, and Miley Cyrus when VH1 Divas Live returns Sept. 17 @ 9 PM ET.
“We are excited that Jennifer Hudson will share her award-winning talent with our VH1 Divas audience next week. Adding Jennifer to our roster of young yet hugely successful performers guarantees that the show will truly be a night to remember,” the network said in a statement Tuesday. “We can’t wait for our viewers to enjoy the performances that will reflect the talent, hard work and tenacity that has come to define this new generation of divas.”
