Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you probably know that Paula Abdul has quit American Idol due to the typical "pay me more" dispute. I'm not really sure what to think. I think AI will go on just fine--Simon's the guy they really don't want to lose--but I think that it benefits the competition to have an actual performer on the panel. Maybe they'll have a rotating guest list of performers to serve as judges, who knows?

As for Paula, I think her future is uncertain. There's a rumor they want her on "So You Think You Can Dance?" but the facts are Paula's career as a pop singer ended a long time ago and it was AI that brought her back to the limelight. Her exploits on AI and her ill-advised reality show reveal there's a few loose screws in there. And t.v. has a long history of stars who leave in a huff over money, thinking they can do just swell on their own, only to find that they can't.

Meanwhile, another batch of nekkid piccies featuring High School Musical starlet Vanessa Hudgens have appeared on the internet. I felt bad for the ESPN gal because of either she was the victim of an evil pervert or the victim of an evil smear campaign. But I just think this chick's behavior is plain skeevy, as you kids like to say. It's a campaign on her part to shed her image as a teen idol and draw attention to a new flick of hers that's coming out soon. She's not a victim of anything except desperation.

*TFN has posted links to book blurbs for the upcoming Darth Bane novel, due out in December, and Karen Miller's second Clone Wars novel, due out in February. The Bane novel sounds awesome and Miller's book sounds like a golden opportunity for covert Anakin/Obi-Wan slash.

*There's a Facebook page for Star Wars In Concert.

*ShopStarWars.com has a bunch of new commissioned high-end art for sale. I saw a lot of these at Comic Con. It sucks that they're so expensive and that there's not enough wall space to display them all.

*Word is going around the fandom calling attention to a young fan facing a serious illness, whose family could use financial help. TFN has the info here:
