Who would have guessed that while Kara DioGuardi and Paula Abdul were often seen as rivals during their short time together on “American Idol,” the two actually bunked together before Kara ever joined the show. And while that did lead to a DioGuardi hospital stay, due to some funky brownies, Abdul had nothing to do with it — yet somehow we’re not surprised that there were laced baked goods in Paula’s fridge.
She appeared on “Lopez Tonight” on Wednesday to push her new show, “Platinum Hit,” and told George Lopez about her short-lived “Idol” gig and how the mysterious chocolatey treats made their way into her system while Abdul was on vacation.
“There were these, little nuggets, little, you know, take six, not a lot. Six hours later I was like, ‘heeeey, what’s going on?’” DioGuardi remembered. “I fell out of bed, on the floor, I stumbled downstairs and I was like, ‘I ate too much.’ And the ambulance comes and is like, ‘this b*tch is as high as a kite.’”
The end result? Three days in the hospital, hallucinations and IV fluids. But it could have been worse.
“The maid took them out, she was in the hospital, I had six, I almost died,” she said.
But no worries: the brownies didn’t belong to Abdul, she said; instead, a friend had left them there after a party. What were actually in those brownies, though, remains unknown.
Her new show is already getting a lot of harsh criticism, some saying she doesn’t have the same “relaxed attitude” as host Jewel and speculating on just how many hits can be written by a committee on a deadline. If Platinum Hit bombs, she better call herself in a favor with Steven Tyler. After all, she is the one who got him his current gig on “American Idol.”
