Why Paula Goodspeed Wanted to Be the Next American Idol

Here's an update on the tragic Paula Goodspeed situation:

According to Los Angeles Police Department Captain James Miller, the troubled, former American Idol contestant had been to Paula Abdul's house prior to her suicide. While it's unclear if the judge was directly harassed by her self-proclaimed number-one fan, Miller said the disturbances caught the attention of cops.

"Our station has been called to respond to Paula Abdul's house on multiple occasions over the last several years concerning Ms. Goodspeed," Miller told People Magazine. "The last time our officers had contact with Goodspeed was in July."
