Abdul Urges Tough Nail Salon Standards http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/safer_nail_salonsSAN FRANCISCO - "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul urged California legislators to force nail salons to clean up their act, testifying Monday about her yearlong health ordeal after an unsanitary manicure.
Corey Clark's Breakfast Brawl http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/16832After former American Idol contestant Corey Clark went public with his claim that he had an affair with Paula Abdul--complete with TV interviews, tell-all book and confessional album--it appeared unlikely that he could sink any lower in his quest for headlines.
The "Paulatics" singer was cited on a misdemeanor battery charge Saturday after getting into an alleged food fight with his record company manager over breakfast in a Sacramento hotel room.
According to police, Clark, 24, and Laura Kathleen Troy, 34, were discussing an incident from Clark's Friday night concert in West Sacramento, when the conversation escalated into a flatware-hurling free-for-all that was loud enough to spur other hotel guests into calling the police.
