Hey Paula Abdul! Just Because It’s The Kids’ Choice Awards Doesn’t Mean You Have To Dress Like a Tween
One Of These Days Paula And Miley Cyrus Will Both Finally Wear Something Age-Appropriate
It might be possible to get a buzz from whatever cocktail of crazy on the rocks with a side of lime Paula Abdul is consuming just from looking at her. ‘Cause clearly the last time she had a sober moment was in the early 2000s when Avril Lavigne was all the faux emo/riot girrrl rage and teens flocked to Hot Topic for all their “life is like, so hard, and I hate my parents, wah” accessories. So in a misguided effort try to look younger and funkier and more in-tune with These Kids Today, the American Idol judge styled herself in her angsty best. HT was evidently having some kind of five for $10 sale.
But as Paula’s outfits go, it’s not even near her worst. The mounds of chains. The fingerless gloves. The chunky black boots. All that’s missing is the chipped black nail polish and “f**k you, mom and dad” expression on her face. Though with her Botox problem, doing more than blinking and stringing a bunch of slurred words together in something distantly related to English at the same time is a mystery medical science has yet to conquer. So yes, remarkably this Flashdancing “Like There’s No Tomorrow” in a bizarre version of Michael Jackson’s “Bad” video look is actually an improvement. Just think how great the choreography in that video would be. You just know Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz is scoping her outfit for pieces he wants to borrow.
And at least Paula erased the moustache Simon Cowell drew on her. Normally she would have coordinated it with an eye patch and swashbuckler’s sword. Which would have been all kinds of awesome.

Miley Cyrus: “Miles To Go” In Totally Tween Appropriate Tall Boots
Now If She’d Just Find An Equally Acceptable Boyfriend . . .
Determined to milk every money-making opportunity out of their PG-rated star before her audience hits puberty, Disney princess Miley Cryus has extended her brand and added another title to her resume—author. Yes, the just-turned-16 year old Hannah Montana star has penned her autobiography, Miles to Go. She shares her “inspiring story, spanning from her Southern roots in Tennessee to the excitement of her record-setting triumphs.” The best part is the “novel” is even equipped with doodles! Wonder if this is reflective of Justin’s maturity level, too? Miley must be saving the chapter about how bummed she was that she got a hand-me-down Porsche for her birthday for the follow-up. In short, WAAAAH.
But the book’s 272 pages aside, the mature- beyond-her-years triple threat is caught in that awkward teen/young adult stage. Miley usually outfits herself in looks that are either cloyingly twee, like her Ariel “Under the Sea” Oscar dress (gee, why not just stamp “Property of Disney, Inc.” on her forehead?) or way too mature like an aging soap opera star. But she gets it 100% age appropriate at a Barnes & Noble book signing in jeans and a white t-shirt with a sparkly vest and scarf, paired with a totally cute pair of brown tall boots, like this ‘Frye’ style by Victoria. Victory in our time!
And with her face scrubbed free of its normal layer of paint and her hair in loose waves, we suddenly find ourselves wanting to put on a Team Miley t-shirt and start rooting for her to keep beating the Jonas Brothers in their Mouse House tweendom battle.
