Paula Abdul and the Price of Beans

paulashutupanddance.jpgKevin Covais got the boot on American Idol on Wednesday night. Not much to add, the show is dragging.

Simon's getting fed up with Paula and I don't blame him. Last month he told her:
"Shut-up, Paula, you're really annoying me now. You are. It's like being with some precocious child."

I think Simon wants Paula off the show and he's going about it by making her look crazy in a way reminiscent of the 1944 movie Gaslight. Ingrid Bergman's character is reduced to a gibbering wreck by the attempts of her husband to drive her insane. Her character's name? Paula Anton.

Asked about her strange behavior on the show Paula told In Touch Weekly:
“If they say, ‘Paula is going crazy,’ the reason is Simon is whispering things in my ear, like, ‘What’s the price of beans?’ Things that make no sense at all.”

“Simon gave me advice and said on ‘The X Factor’ (his British TV series), he always refers to a fortune cookie,” Abdul explained.

"He says the moth who finds the melon finds the cornflake always finds the melon and one of you didn’t pick the right fortune.”

What's the deal Paula? You've never heard of the famous Chinese fortune cookie moth, melon and cornflake story?
