NEW YORK, New York -- Paula Abdul had some fun Thursday night at VH1's "Divas Live" when she took the stage dressed as her replacement on "American Idol."
"Why are you all staring at me? Can't a girl try out for a new job?" Paula, dressed as Ellen DeGeneres in a short blonde wig and black pant suit, asked the crowd.

Not only did Paula have Ellen's look down, but she also took the stage doing a typical Ellen-style dance and made her way to a chair that resembled the talk show host's set. But the stunt was all in good fun.
"All kidding aside," Paula continued. "[I have] nothing but love for Ellen, and I wish you the best of luck and congratulations on your new gig. And call me! You gotta call me if you have any Simon problems, 'cause you know, I know him best."

The former "Idol" judge also performed at the VH1 special at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City with a medley of her songs, including "Straight Up," "Forever Your Girl, and "Opposites Attract."
She opened the show saying, "I'm Paula Abdul, and this is not 'American Idol!'"
The "Divas" special also included performances by Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus, Adele, Sheryl Crow, Jordin Sparks and Kelly Clarkson.

MariahI'm sure Ellen just laughed about it, and has no problems, it was all in good fun, like she said!!report abuseposted September 19, 2009 7:24 PM PDT

Meegan AnnI believe this whole incident is in poor taste. She needs to be acting more like the adult instead of acting like a sour teen whos BF is going out with someone new. I see the hiring of Ellen to be great for the show. Paula hasn't given very good advice as of late and it just seems to me that she never knew what the fudge she was talking about. A true AI fan wouldn't stop watching nreport abuseposted September 19, 2009 7:16 PM PDT

PopRecently,I found a very interesting place______W e a l t h yD a t e r . C o m_____. It is the best dating club for seeking the rich singles, beautiful girls and even hot celebs.. what's the most important is that you dont have to be a M illionaire,but you can meet one. I think everyone need to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy .report abuseposted September 19, 2009 6:58 PM PDT
