Sharp as a Marble

We are very honored here today to have an exclusive interview with an absolute ledgend in the music video and dance industry, Paula Abdul's Mole. Welcome to Sharp as a Marble, Mole.

Paula Abdul's Mole

Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.

Sharp as a Marble

Before we get started, I just wanted to say, I absolutely adore what you've done with the hair.

Paula Abdul's Mole

Thanks, that's very sweet of you. I had gotten tired of keeping it so short that I decided to let it grow out. You know, for a change of pace and all.

Sharp as a Marble

Well, it is absolutely stunning. Very lusterous and full.

Paula Abdul's Mole

Oh, I'm blushing!

Sharp as a Marble

It's a good look for you. Now, let's discuss why you are here. I hear you've got a new "tell all," book coming out. What's it called and what is it all about?

Paula Abdul's Mole

Well, there's no hiding that there has been a lot of friction between Paula and me lately. You can't open up a single magazine and not see some story about our breakup. It's been a very challenging time in my life and I just didn't feel my side of the story was getting out, so I decided to write a book about it.

And that book is Mountain of a Molehill - My life as Paula Abdul's Mole?

Paula Abdul's Mole

Yes. It is a very in depth look at my role in Paula's rise to fame and fortune, her problems with alcohol, and her attempt to have me "biopsied".

Sharp as a Marble

Biopsied?

Paula Abdul's Mole

Yes, she had convinced herself that I was cancerous and tried to have me removed. Kept claiming it was self defense.

Sharp as a Marble

Now mole, there are many rumors that you allowed yourself to be in this abusive relationship, that you continually made excuses about the Compound-W marks and the heavy makeup to conceal the, as you called them, "accidental shaving nicks".

Paula Abdul's Mole

Well, that is true. It's all in the book, mind you, but I had to admit to myself that after our creative differences on the "Cold Hearted Snake" video that I was just hanging on because of the fame and fortune. I had grown accustomed to the lifestyle and subconciously made excuses all along.

I put up with the abuse and told myself that it would get better, that Paula's career would take off again, and that things between us would be like in the old days.

However, when Simon fuller approached me to possibly take over her spot on American Idol, things just turned nasty and that's when I decided to walk out.

Sharp as a Marble

I see. Paula, of course, has a different take on events than you do. Let's listen to a short clip that Paula did for us before the show.

Sheesh lyin'. We would all be shitting aroung and shheed all be like uppity and {censored}. *Hic* Then Shimon, that limey {censored} was all like 'Paula, yoush should be nisher *hic* and {censored} and then I shaid "If you so {censored} think she can do Idolican America better than me, go for it bitchesh. After that everything gotsh kinda all blurry

I'm not exactly sure what she was saying there, but her versions of events definitely differ from yours.

Paula Abdul's Mole

Her versions of reality differ from everyone else's. In my book I talk about her demons and alcohol.

Sharp as a Marble

Well, it definitely seems to be a good book, and so far I've not been able to put it down. However, in your book you do allude to your relationship with John Bolton's Straight Talking Mustache - Regis. The tabloids seem to have a different take on it than you do.

Paula Abdul's Mole

Regis and I were just friends. Underneath the bristles is a caring, warm soul, but he just wasn't the type of lip rug I could find myself in an intimate relationship with. You'll just have to read the rest to see, I guess.

Sharp as a Marble

Well, I guess I will! Mole, it's been great having you on Sharp as a Marble, and I wish you the best of luck with your new book, and your new life.

Paula Abdul's Mole

Thank you. I enjoyed being here.

Sharp as a Marble

And that's all the time we have here today folks. Join us next time for a hard hitting interview with myself where I ask myself tough questions and avoid answering them.
