Paula Goodspeed, very bizarrely an "Idol" season 5 hopeful just like Tozier-Robbins, was all uber-fan over Paula Abdul. She had a picture of the "Idol" judge hanging from her rearview mirror and, during her "Idol" audition, said she'd painted life-sized depictions of Abdul. Sadly, Goodspeed was found dead in her car near Abdul’s house last January after overdosing on prescription drugs. [US Magazine] — Being an "American Idol" hopeful is starting to seem like a curse.
