Seacrest, Pout!

Paula Abdul, desperately looking to gain the approval of fellow American Idol judge Simon Cowell, turned on show host Ryan Seacrest during an appearance on The Tonight Show earlier this week, the New York Daily News reports, commenting on his supposed reaction to a recent Rolling Stone cover and rumored relationship with Desperate Housewives Teri Hatcher.

The recent magazine cover featured Paula, Simon and Randy Jackson literally in bed together, with Randy holding a book adorned with Ryan’s image. Paula claims that Ryan wasn’t happy with his lack of prominence in comparison to that of the judges and of Paula’s pooch, also shown frolicking on the bed.

"I heard plenty mad," Paula said when Tonight Show host Jay Leno asked her about Ryan’s reaction to the final product. Why is that? Because he ordered the pizza and wanted the salad?

Paula continued to mock Ryan when asked if there was any legitimacy to the recent pictures that showed Ryan and Teri Hatcher kissing on a California beach.

"He only kisses the mirror," Paula said. "And, honestly, do you think Teri Hatcher is that desperate of a housewife?"

Ohhh, snap—a real zinger from a woman often recognized for dancing with an oversized, animated cat in a music video. Last I heard, Ryan had scored himself quite the pretty penny through his new deal with the E! Entertainment Network. And Paula’s odd behavior created speculation behind-the-scenes at Idol that perhaps Mensa candidates Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson could provide more intelligible commentary than Paula’s been spouting recently. You’ve got to be doing something wrong when a baby-dropper and a stinky ass are thought to be more lucid than you…straight up, Paula.
