Paula Abdul is just one of the celebrities who are taking to Twitter to express their concern over the earthquake that shook the state of California on Mar. 11 and thank goodness there don’t seem to be any fatalities as of now.

An Earthquake Hits Southern California

Around 10am PST in California, an earthquake with the magnitude of 4.7 hit about 100 miles southeast of LA.

Although many people claim to not have felt it, the earthquake reportedly had a depth of eight miles and caused a “swaying or rolling motion” in LA, San Diego, Orange County and San Bernardino County.

Paula tweeted: “Who felt the #earthquake? Hope you, your friends, and family are all fine. Sending love! xoP.”

Michelle Branch also took to social media and said: “Am I the only one oblivious to the earthquake that just happened? Didn’t feel a thing. #LATweets.”

Dancing with the Stars: All Stars‘ had the most dramatic results show yet on Nov. 20 — only three of the remaining five couples moved on to the finale. In between the sad moments, we were treated to a visual masterpiece by the ultimate dance professional — Paula Abdul!

“I’m so excited to finally be performing on Dancing With The Stars. It’s kind of like a dream come true!” Paula said before her performance.

“I came in with a concept that I have wanted to do for years. It incorporates four of my number one hits. It incorperates groundbreaking scenery and projection. Some of it is virtual and some of it is live and it goes so fast, you don’t even know. I call it the dream medley because anything can happen in a dream, and this is Paula’s dream so anything does happen,” she explained. “I hope you enjoy!”

Bristol and Mark’s Blowup

Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas started the week on a dramatic note as they got into a huge, tearful blowup! Bristol accused Mark of being mad he didn’t have a partner like Sabrina or Shawn. Mark said he’s been on her side the entire time and always stuck up for her.

Bristol said, “I feel like you want to go home” after Mark missed a practice earlier in the week. Bristol walked off in tears!

But tonight, they were all smiles. They danced the paso doble for a score of 22.5, their highest score so far. Len said it was their best dance yet. Bruno said “Check Mate Bristol! The ice queen with a killer streak! Get that aggression out, it works!”

Paula Abdul, you conquered the 80s with your music, thrived as a judge on American Idol and did it again on X Factor. We always love your enthusiasm, so we all wish you a happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Paula Abdul! With your Moon in social-climbing Capricorn, there’s certainly no hiding your ambitious streak, nor your sterling resume that includes award-winning choreography and your run as the ‘nice’ judge on ‘American Idol.’ However, the cosmos are now saying that it’s no more Ms. Nice Girl! Although you’ve always been able to tell it straight up, you’re finding that the road to seeking approval isn’t long enough. Your newfound feistiness will play out in your own projects, and we’re about to learn that you’re as tough as Simon Cowell — maybe even tougher!

The X Factor‘s first season ratings didn’t live up to Simon Cowell‘s, 52, high expectations, leaving Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger out in the cold. “It’s only because I opened my big mouth and said we were going to get 20 million [viewers],” Simon told Extra about the changes.

It’s business. It’s not personal. Simon displayed regret for having to ax his former American Idol co-host. “I would’ve liked to have kept [Paula],” Simon said. “She was very gracious, and I said that to her.”

And how is Nicole handling the slight? “I don’t think she’s mad. I think she’s disappointed,” Simon added.

Only Simon and record executive L.A. Reid remain at the judges table. Rumors of new judges include the Queen of Pop, Madonna, and new mother Beyonce. Simon shot down that idea as “complete nonsense.”

Poor Paula. Why didn’t Simon fight for her? Who do YOU think should replace her on the X-Factor?

3. Simon Cowell Is Wrong To Dump Paula Abdul From ‘X Factor,’ But Right To Fire Steve Jones & Nicole Scherzinger

Simon Cowell turned X Factor upside down on Jan. 30 by firing judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger along with the show’s host Steve Jones. But he says in a new statement that Paula is a “close friend.” Why do you think he gave them all the boot?

“I want to say a massive thank you to Paula, Nicole and Steve for being part of the X Factor last year,” he went on to say. “You do develop friendships with the people you work with and Paula, in particular, is a very close friend and I expect to be working with her on another project in the near future.”

Do you think this means another competition reality show or perhaps even a scripted show? We can’t wait for these two to collaborate again because we love their on screen chemistry!

Nicole Scherzinger sealed her fate the moment she refused to make a decision between X Factor contestants Rachel Crow and Marcus Canty in the semi-finals.

When she abdicated her job and let “America’s” votes makes the decision and Rachel was eliminated, Simon and the X Factor audience knew it was just plain wrong.

Then when little Rachel, 14 — one of Simon’s girls — fell to the ground on her knees, that was undoubtedly the moment that Simon could not and would not forgive.

He’d already criticized Paula’s song selections and visual presentations, plus her habit of crying at the drop of the hat, so The Rachel Crow blow was definitely Simon’s “had it” moment.

Steve was such a non-factor on X Factor, he isn’t even worth discussing. Let’s just say we need a way cuter and more charismatic host.

But Simon — you went too far when you eliminated Paula on Jan. 30, according to Deadline.com. You have to remember that you still need someone on your panel to bring the warm factor to LA’s cool factor and your mean factor.

Plus, like it or not, Paula is the yin to your yang. She’s the Cher to your Sonny. She’s the Hoda to your Kathie Lee.

You just made a big mistake getting rid of your girl.

You know what Simon — this is another Melanie Amaro moment and you’re going to have to go and get Paula back again. Mark my words Simon — you’ll have to do it!
