(Sorry -- a little Barney Miller reference for you.)
Holy shit -- that girl ain't right!
I think she is definitely the "new" Foster Brooks.

Foster Brooks was funny ... and never made me want to jump off a cliff to get away from his image.
OnEdit: Oh yeah ... and sober.

8. Remarkable similarities! |
|
However, Mr. Brooks, a fellow Rochester, NY, native, was always stone-cold sober. Ms. Abdul...well...since that's not supposed to be part of her act, it's probably not an act.
My uncle met Brooks once or twice and said he was a fantastic guy. I may be wrong, but I think my uncle said that Brooks was an alcoholic earlier in his life, got sober, and then raked in barrels of cash acting like he used to. But like I said, I may be wrong on that. Don't want to slander Brooks' memory by accusing him of an addiction he may not have had. :)
As for Paula--honey, get help...

12. That's correct about Foster, he drew on his own "battles with the bottle" for his act. |

That Dean Martin wasn't the lush he played in shows and on TV either.
