American Idol judge Paula Abdul said she was “shocked and saddened” after a woman, who once appeared as a contestant on season five, was found dead of a drug overdose near her home. Paula Goodspeed, 30, who was discovered in a car alongside prescription drugs, CDs and pictures of Abdul, was said to be an obsessed fan of the pop star. Abdul said in a statement released by her publicist Jeff Ballard: “I am deeply shocked and saddened at what transpired yesterday. My heart and prayers go out to her family.” Goodspeed failed to reach the next round on Idol after receiving poor reviews from Abdul and fellow judges Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell.
