Life or Death After ‘Idol’

A dead body found in a car outside of Paula Abdul’s house has been identified as Paula Goodspeed (above), a woman who tried out for American Idol’s fifth season in 2006. Goodspeed was featured in a featurette on the show about her love for Paula…
Goodspeed’s body was found inside her car, which was decorated with a photo of Abdul hanging from the rear-view mirror. Her personalized license plate reads “ABL LV,” which has been said to stand for Abdul Love.
There is no known reason why she would have committed suicide outside Abdul’s home, other than to be close at the end of her life to her apparent idol. Or to have her name forever linked with Abdul’s.

Reality TV is abusive and our enjoyment of it says a lot about our culture. It’s scary that we enjoy watching people be humiliated, berated for their dreams and to see their hopes dashed. Why is that entertainment?
