Paula Abdul has something to say about Taylor Hicks. She says he had the most hissy fits, temper tantrums, and exhibits the most out-of-control behavior, looks like the prize would go to contestant Taylor Hicks.
“The minute Taylor made the top 24, he became difficult and he seemed to get worse over time,� a source told the tab. All the male contestants on the show became friends — except Hicks. “He was conceited and cold,� according to the insider. “Once he was in the top eight, I think he no longer wanted to be on the show.�
Some examples cited by Star: when in the top ten, Taylor didn’t want a bodyguard to accompany him to the men’s room as required and reportedly told one to “[bleep] off,� he refused to go to photo shoots, and he wouldn’t speak to others in the show’s green room.
Paula Abdul’s diva antics include being followed around by three hair stylists, periodically having one of them carry her pampered pooch, and going through a slew of assistants. “She seems really difficult,� an “insider� told Star. “She’s had a ton of assistants in five seasons.�

Oh Jesus Christ. The original article (from Star Magazine, that ballast of integrity) quotes an “insider” who says that Taylor AND Paula were divas–NOT that Paula says Taylor was a diva. Get your fucking facts straight, although I realize that your version of the story makes for a better graphic.

Oh come on now Star Muscle (or whatever the heck your name is, because I’ve never heard of ya) you people cannot be that heart-up for a story that you jump on the “let’s smear Taylor Hicks” bandwagon that Jeannette Walls started over at MSNBC(whose bright and shining source she says was “The Star”)…ummm HELLO, get real people…The STAR…need I say more?????
Now you’re reporting that Paula Abdul said these things, so are we to assume that she was the Star’s inside source??? I hope she sues your butts off if she didn’t say those things; that’ll teach you gossip buzzards to mind your own business, and stop trying to ruin people’s reputations.

This is all to bazaar. TMZ reported just last April 19, 2006, that Ace Young and Chris Daughtry, Quote…”Who’s The AI Diva…HINT, it’s NOT a woman: TMZ Staff:
As the American Idol competition heats up, the DIVAS have emerged and they are not Kellie, Paris or Katherine. Sources connected with the show tell TMZ that ACE YOUNG and CHRIS DAUGHTRY are hands down the most difficult contestants for producers to handle. One source called ACE and CHRIS who are roommates, “CONSTANT COMPLAINERS”, they complain about everything from song selections to shopping. As one source said…”if either one of them got KICKED OFF the show, the producers would be very happy”….
Do you see TAYLOR HICKS name in that article? Nope, me either. Come on people, Taylor Hicks was known as the nice guy who cared about everyone else. Contrary to the trash written in STAR, they are, how shall say…Grossly misinformed? Yes, ansolutely. For what it’s worth, Ace and Chris WERE indeed kicked off, no fans voting and no fans period… so the producers got their wish, a one two punch. Funny how this would come up now that Taylor Hicks won Season Five of American Idol. Can’t get a good man down, so don’t even try people, your wasting your time.

Everybody knows that Star has to make up their stories as they go along! I just do not believe this crap at all. I have met Taylor in person and he is one the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. I have not heard anyone from Idol contestants or otherwise besides Simon trash Taylor! He is a true Southern Gentelman who has not forgotten where he came from!
