Did Simon Contemplate Booting Paula?

We caught up with Paula for a rebuttal and she said, “Simon, the only thing that’s redundant is your wardrobe, Mr. One-T-Shirt.” #Ohsnap! And as for his ejection plan, she joked, “While you’re considering ‘the boot,’ consider the spectrum. There are more colors than white.” Double #Ohsnap!!

Well, we’re happy that Paula is still here and look forward to watching her wax poetic on the performances, shower the finalists love, and, of course, to see what fab-u-lous dresses she’ll be gracing THE X FACTOR studio with. Hey, if Paula doesn’t have a musical act to mentor, she can always serve up some fashion advice to Simon!

The eerie arrangement of an MJ classic is what folks are going to be buzzing about. No one will care if you sit or stand. In the control room, I spied one of the bigwigs utter the word “brilliant!” after the contestant’s dress rehearsal.
