my prayers have been answered

Paula Abdul's reality show...cleverly named Hey Paula debuts Thursday night on Bravo....

"Hey Paula" provides an unfiltered, real-life look at the "American Idol" judge, entrepreneur, choreographer and multi-platinum artist,

that explains the 10pm time slot...

Through it all, Abdul has a knack for being able to laugh along the way.

alcohol and narcotics don't hurt either...

Additionally, the seven-episode series features the posse of people essential in keeping the Abdul empire running smoothly.

strangely enough, pharmacist and mixologist are not included in the posse...and when did she get an empire?

and last but not least...

Abdul's kids...her four Chihuahuas – Bessie Moo, Chomps, Thumbelina and Tulip

it just wouldn't be right if she didn't have 4 Chihuahuas....

I think I feel the wound created by the cancellation of the Anna Nicole show starting to heal...maybe Bobby Trendy will make a guest appearance as a style consultant....
