11:47 AM PST, November 12, 2008 A woman who authorities said once tried to become a contestant on “American Idol” was found dead outside the Sherman Oaks home of “Idol” judge Paula Abdul in a case police are investigating as a possible *******.
Authorities identified the woman as Paula Goodspeed, 30, from Thousand Oaks. (Police earlier had said her name was spelled “Goodespeed.”)

Goodspeed was found dead in a car about 6 p.m. Tuesday outside the house in the 3800 block of Beverly Ridge Drive.

“We are investigating the case as a possible *******,” said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner’s office. The cause of death will not be determined until after toxicology tests are completed, he added.

A law enforcement source, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the case, said the woman was familiar to officials with the Los Angeles Police Department’s threat management unit, which investigates stalking cases, but he declined to elaborate.

Abdul, a singer and former Laker girl, is best known in recent years as a judge on the popular “American Idol” TV show.

A video of Goodspeed’s appearance at an “Idol” tryout shows her singing “Proud Mary” in pink dress. “Idol” panelist Simon Cowell remarked that Goodspeed looked a lot like Adbul.

She should have never gotten past the initial screening. AI clearly new she was mentally unstable and let her on to other rounds to publicly humiliate this poor girl. Everyone involved with this production should be put on trial for murder. When will this shit stop?

This is the wrong way to look at this. She needed help. Instead of this show and Paula Abdul getting her help, they ridiculed her in front of the nation. Nothing short of premeditated murder.

people should know what to expect from being on that show. if she was sick, she should have never auditioned.

if you dont want to get burned, stay away from the fire.

This is one of things like if you can't stand the heat, don't be in the kitchen.

She obviously shouldn't have even tried out in the first place because she couldn't handle criticisms and not making the show.

But I have to say, they can be cruel on idol.

WHAT???

People with mental instability can't make rational decisions. That is why they are mentally ill. People run these have responsibility for their actions. They exploited her mental illness for entertainment. It is sickening.

She can't be expected to understand the heat in her state.

This is exactly what I am saying.

I don't know about you, but when I "just do my job" I am still liable for my actions. I have a level of responsibility.
Obviously people just want to act like they answer to no one.

Definitely a girl with mental issues that did not get the help she needed when she needed it. Sad story all around, although hardly the first. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

think about all the crazy folk that try out for Idol. it's an audition for a TV show, not a fckin charity mental health facility

No it isn't the first time those in need have been exploited. Sadly it won't be the last.

Randy should be hanged, Simon should be shot and Paula should be disemboweled braveheart style for this travesty.

All of that is irrelevant. We as members of society bear responsibility for what we do. I don't care if it was for a show wanting to make millions of dollars. That doesn't make it right to exploit those who obviously can't make sound judgment for themselves.
