If you looked at the news this weekend, you have probably heard about Paula Abdul’s outlandish TV appearance on a Seattle morning news show. She slurred and made bizarre gesticulations, getting the rumor mill started. Her sobriety was questioned.
 
          According to Abdul’s spokesperson, Jeff Ballard, he blamed it on technical difficulties.
 
          “She was exhausted.” Ballard said. “This was at the end of three days of press (interviews and appearances) and she had cameras following her around for a reality TV show. She was sitting in a room with just a camera and a mic on, and the controllers dropped the sound twice, and she got upset. That is why she rolled her eyes.”
 
          After her TV appearance surfaced on YouTube and other media websites, according to Ballard, Abdul quickly cancelled her media engagements scheduled for Friday, hoping to hush up the rumors.
 
           Ballard also told Reuters. “Paula never drinks. I have known Paula Abdul since she was 13. I have never seen her drink in my life and she’s not on any type of medication. She was a little tried.”
 
          The same spokesperson also said that Abdul had a minor throat infection, which added to her woes.
