Stone Martindale writes, the various videos shows Paula acting "not normally," and looking inebriated on something. Paula’s flack is now blaming “technical issues” and “exhaustion” for her wacky on air behavior

He said, “She was exhausted. This was at the end of three days of press (interviews and appearances), and she has had cameras following her around for a reality TV show too. She was sitting in a room with just a camera and a mic on, and the controllers dropped the sound twice, which is why she rolled her eyes. She never drinks. I have known Paula Abdul since she was 13, and I have never seen her drink.”

The video is here.
