STUFF FROM ALL OVER

Paula Abdul is clean – Despite all evidence to the contrary, Paula Abdul is once again denying that she has ever been drunk.  She tells Us magazine this week, “"I've never been drunk.  I have never done recreational drugs. Just look at my 20-year career.  Tell me someone who is into partying and or doing drugs that could have done that."   Umm, do you mean your career of sitting in a chair and clapping?  Wow, you got me, I can't think of one.  Touche.  

Heather Mills is optimistic – Paul McCartney’s soon-to-be ex-wife is expected to be a contestant on the fourth season of Dancing with the Stars.  This despite the fact that’s she’s not a star and was hit by a police motorcycle in 1993, necessitating the amputation of her left leg below the knee and forcing her to wear a prosthetic device.    Let the “Bunny-Hop with the Stars” jokes begin. 

Howard Stern is engaged – Howard Stern announced on his show today that he has proposed his longtime girlfriend, model Beth Ostrosky.  Beth was pretty much the first girl he dated after divorcing his wife Allison, whom he was married to for 22 years. Stern, 53, proposed to Ostrosky, 34, Tuesday night with a 5.2 carat diamond ring.  Stern told her, “I love you. You're everything to me.  This is so gay … I'm asking you to spend the rest of your life with me."  Oh, the excitement.
