If you are anywhere remotely close to a TV, internet connection, teenager or even a smoke signal, I am sure that you have heard about the recent celebrity stalking turned suicide. In case you have been golfing on the moon, its has recently been reported that Paula Goodspeed (no pun intended, that is her name) was found dead in front of American Idol judge, Paula Abdul’s Sherman Oaks home. Her cause of death is presumed to be from a drug overdose but this has not been confirm yet until toxicology tests are completed.
Thanks to bittenandbound.com, a blog quoted as “the not so pretty side of Hollywood” for providing a photo and video of Paula Goodspeed and her Paul Abdul vanity license plate which reads “ABL LV” presumed to mean Adbul Love.
Goodspeed auditioned for American Idol in 2005 and was self described as having a lifelong obsession with Paula Abdul. She was known to create lifesize drawings of Paula and remarked that her first drawing was of Paula Abdul.

Last week I made a trip to beautiful San Antonio, Texas. On a ball sticking humid afternoon, I just happened to see this Honda Civic with a vanity license plate that read “LKR GRL”. I did get a quick glance at her and must say she was definately NOT a Laker girl, as in this kind of Laker girl, but she proudly stated her allegiance through her custom license plate for all of the San Antonio Spurs fans to see.
I wish I would have been able to view the side of this car becuase in San Antonio, the “L” word is a cuss word. I only give it matter of time until a drunken angry Spurs fan gathers up enough liquid courage to dance their key down the side panels of this car. At least that was my first instict when I saw this vanity license plate in Spurs country. So maybe I am a bit bitter by our loss to Kobe and Company or maybe I am still bitter about the .4 shot heard around the world by clutch master himself Derrick Fisher who elimated us (Spurs) and advanced to win another NBA Championship. Regardless, I practiced restrain and refrained from creating “art” on the side of this car with my key. I had to suck it up and be a big boy. Besides, I had my Mom and kids in the car and had to be a good example.
So after watching the Lakers set a new NBA record for biggest lead after a first quarter in an NBA finals game I was even more excited watch another record set. If my memory serves me correctly, the words used were “ biggest comeback in NBA final history.”
I am sure that today is a different day driving around San Antonio with these custom license plates. Maybe she decided today would be a good day to catch a ride or even use the Via Public Transportation System for the sake of “saving gas.”
