Country artist and upcoming “Nashville Star” judge John Rich laid into “American Idol” judge Paula Abdul for her lack of attentiveness during a recent episode.
“‘American Idol’ infuriates me as an artist,” Rich, of the multiplatinum country duo Big & Rich, said at an NBC press event in Pasadena, California. “They’re being fake about it. When [...]
For starters, Paula Abdul isn’t going anywhere.
