PAULA ABDUL WRAPS ARMS AROUND FANS AND GRAMMY STYLE BAGS

While American Idol was on TV on Wednesday night in the customary preliminary rounds, Paula Abdul was also at the Grammy Style Studio shopping for nearly two hours picking out swag for herself and for friends. In the pre-taped segment on American Idol she hugged a sub-par contestant star-struck with the choreographer/pop artist while in real time her arms were full of clothes and accessories courtesy of the Kate Nobelius Style studio.

Abdul shared her favorites of the studio.

“I’m exhausted from all the amazing stuff. It’s been like, I’m on overload. I’m on overload. This is exciting. All new things. Lots of things, lots of glitter and glitz and stuff to put all over my face. That’s hot. I love Giuseppes, I love…Lamb, of course they were so nice. The neat pursed and handbags over there. They were so lovely. Stetson hats, jewels, diamonds. I love diamonds.”

Fans can see Abdul two days a week as open casting calls are over and the competition to find the final 12 goes to Hollywood.
