Paula Abdul fooled by Bruno? According to Page Six, "Paula Abdul is about to be ridiculed at a theater near you -- and she doesn't even know it. A source tells us Sacha Baron Cohen, playing a wildly gay Austrian TV reporter in "Bruno," conducted a wacky interview with the Idol judge. "Paula was totally fooled.

Okay, I don't agree with anything she's trying to speak on behalf of, but I respect the fact that she was willing to say it on stage like she did.

That being said, if you're going to be a spokesperson for an organization, how about being able to provide a cogent argument in support of that organization's agenda? I mean, I felt bad for Matt Lauer there, it was like trying to get an interview from a rock.
