When the judging gets tough, Paula Abdul goes shopping!
When the judging gets tough, Paula Abdul goes shopping! The American Idol host used to go on buying sprees at Barneys in Beverly Hills when her singing career was hot. But when her career cooled, she gave up the indulgence. Now that her TV talent contest is a hit, she's a regular again. And she's proud of it! Paula marched into the store, threw her arms in the air and announced: "I'M BACK!" She quickly dropped $10,000 on jewelry and $5,000 on accessories.
