Perhaps you've seen this video of Paula Abdul slurring, weaving and catnapping her way through an interview with a couple of Seattle's finest newscasters.

But you'll watch it again. Just like you'll watch "American Idol" in the hopes of seeing Ms. Abdul lose her mind completely - doing body shots off Simon Cowell, climbing up on the judges' table to strip her way through "Forever Your Girl," and doing her damnedest to "turn that bitch Ryan Seacrest straight."

Come on. How else do you explain A.I.'s massive appeal?
