While Paula sought salvation for her troubles via a carefully scripted appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” and subsequently as a guest host on “ET,” the Runaway Bride, who can pick and choose any program on which to make her national TV debut, seems to be going for the sympathy vote. Today she checked into a local hospital for “physical and mental” issues — more the latter, I’m sure.
It will be interesting to study how these contrasting approaches to reputation restoration will play out. While I don’t think Paula spent time in jail for shoplifting, she does enjoy a fair share of less than savory behavior over the years.
