In news almost as shocking as Lindsay Lohan going to bed with Heath Ledger, Paula Abdul was a train wreck during her stint as Saturday Night Live host in 2005.
So reports Tina Fey in the latest issue of Playboy.
“I was pregnant [with daughter Alice] at the time and probably a little moody, but I remember thinking, ‘She’s a disaster! I gotta prop this lady up and get her on TV,'” Fey, who was head writer of the series at the time, shared.
Fey said Abdul was “disastrous … in the way she generally appears to be. “It was an American Idol sketch; she wanted to change parts. So Amy Poehler had to play her.”
A year later, the 30 Rock actress spotted Abdul on a flight.
“We both looked at each other like, ‘Do I know that girl?'” she said. “And then we both had that moment of recognition, and she was like, ‘uuuggh.’ I saw it register on her face that she had had a terrible time with us.”
