Abdul found her purpose when she became a judge
Paula Abdul says she didn't figure out her purpose in life until she became a judge on Fox network's “American Idol.”
“I knew since I was a little girl that I had this profound way of touching people. My purpose is bringing out everybody's best and being that cheerleader to other people's success,” the 44-year-old singer-dancer tells OK! magazine in its latest issue.
“Being a judge on ‘American Idol' overshadows being a Grammy Award winner and selling millions of records,” she says.
Abdul has been diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), a chronic neurological disorder that causes severe pain.
“I have four titanium plates in my neck. I've had 14 surgeries over the years. I had an operation the same evening as the first season finale of `American Idol,”' she says. “It can come and go at any time, but I no longer have the intense nerve pain that is associated with RSD, thank God.”
Officials ask if Lohan was served liquor before crash
Authorities conducting undercover operations at trendy celebrity watering holes in recent weeks want to know if an underage Lindsay Lohan was served alcohol before a weekend car crash.
California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control investigators also want to know if Lohan or others were served after hours, agency spokesman John Carr said.
Videos show Lohan leaving Hollywood's Les Deux club at 3:30 a.m.
Alcohol cannot be served in California after 2 a.m.
The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control told the Beverly Hills Police Department it wants to review witness reports and other evidence to determine if a formal investigation is warranted, Carr said.
Les Deux spokeswoman Marissa Knies said Lohan had dinner and wasn't drinking.
“Because of the enormous paparazzi presence outside of Les Deux that night, we allowed her to stay late and wait for her friends,” according to a statement released by Knies.
Lohan, who turns 21 on July 2, was behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz that was heavily damaged when it crashed into a curb and bushes on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills early Saturday.
