And the award for most obvious abuse of prescription pain medication goes to....Paula Abdul! In a recent interview with Ladies' Home Journal the former pop starlet turned quirky American Idol judge opens up about checking herself into rehab after a 12 year pain med binge. Is that why Hey Paula never made it back to the screen? That was one of the most fun and uncomfortable programs to watch EVER! What I didn't know about Abdul was that she's been through more physical drama than Kelly Taylor on 90210. Homegirl "...injured a disc in her neck during a cheerleading mishap when she was 17-years-old." "She broke her leg rehearsing an elaborate stage routine in 1991. She was involved in a car crash and sustained a neck injury in 1992. And then there was the 1993 airplane crash in an Iowa cornfield that left her partially paralyzed, requiring 15 spinal surgeries."

Poor Paula, she's been put through the ringer and slammed by everyone (including me) when she's already been slammed around physically more than anyone should be allowed to. Today, I am dedicating "Cold Hearted (Snake)" to myself, because it is true.
