replacing Paula
OMG! Dummocrats.com has the funniest fucking list of people who could replace Paula... check out: Who Should Replace Paula Abdul on American Idol?

and we have a couple to add:
Rosie O'Donnell - just as annoying as Paula and would take a similar approach that everyone is great and act appalled that people have to leave the show.
Madonna - she'd make em cry, hard
Cher - the hair, the outfits, the voice - Cher would be awesome!
