No, it's not Pick On Paula Day here at ASL, she's just gotten her wacky self in the news a lot this morning. Page Six is reporting on an audio tape they received that is allegedly of a conference call between Paula and several "American Idol" PR flunkies. During the call, Paula wigs out and starts blaming everything bad in her life on her former publicist, one Howard Bragman. And sobbing. That's one of those conference calls when you immediately call up Amazon.com and start shopping at your end to get through it.

She sobs on the tape: "I've never been treated this way and I've never seen anybody treated this way. This is just too much to stomach." Abdul is assured by those hearing her wails, "You will be treated better starting right now."

"I've been going through tremendous amounts of a difficult time,"

Ranting about Bragman, who apparently didn't appreciate her enough, the petite former pop star says: "I do a call-in every week for OK! Magazine on 'American Idol.' Because of my brilliant job, they want to do a cover on me. I'm being told by Howard Bragman that I'm too old and no one will ever want to do a cover.
