". . . Because I'm Caught In a Hit and Run"

Straight up, now tell me: when a young, fresh-faced upstart named Paula Abdul sung those fateful words back in 1989, do you think she knew just how true they'd ring in 2005? And do you think she ever would have guessed that she'd be throwing a snit fit in a hotel in Malaysia over her vehicular snafu?

While she was in Kuala Lumpur for a tsunami benefit concert (no, she was not performing--thank you, Jesus), the American Idol judge found out that she may be facing jail time for a hit-and-run accident she was involved in back in December. After the concert, Paula was scheduled to have tea with the Malaysian king and queen, but after she received the news that a criminal charge was being filed, she flipped out, scratched the friend who accompanied her on the trip, and later threw a bracelet at the buddy, claiming that the friend owed her money for a room service hamburger she'd ordered at the hotel. It turns out that all the hootin' and hollerin' was for naught, because yesterday the matter was settled quickly in court, with Paula getting off with only paying repairs and a fine. That's great, but we're still in shock after learning that we live in a world in which someone like Paula Adbul is invited to dine with royalty.
