PAULA ABDUL PILES ON THE RUFFLES FOR THE ALMA AWARDS

Paula Abdul DOES look like she was dressed by a drag queen at the ALMA Awards, but it’s not all bad. The jewelry belongs on a Las Vegas showgirl, but we are charmed by the ruffled fishtail dress. The ALMA people should be flattered because Paula went all out and made an effort to add glamour and a festive spirit to the event. It’s good for the show. It’s also rumored that Paula turned up with her restauranteur exboyfriend JT Torregiani, so it looks like it’s on again with him.

TERRENCE HOWARD CAN'T RESIST THE HOT LATINAS

Terrence Howard had producers in a tizzy at the ALMA awards when he was set to present an award with Mexican actress Angelica Vale. They were supposed to exchange small talk onstage but Terrence gave Angelica an admiring glance and totally ignored the teleprompter. He started flirting and asking her questions that got her blushing and flustered. He ended up adlibbing that he’d like her phone number. They eventually got around to presenting the award, but shortly after that the producers, citing “technical difficulties,” insisted on reshooting the presentation. They spoke to Terrence backstage and on his second try he stuck to the script verbatim. NO flirting. The show airs September 12.
