TMZ had a little blurb today about Paula Abdul telling them she has something in the works. Yeah, yeah, I am sure she does but guest appearances do not really qualify as “in the works.” At the end of the blurb they mentioned Dunkleman. I had totally forgotten about the guy and so decided to see what happened to him since he left American Idol.

Does anyone remember Brian Dunkleman? This is a guy who left American Idol voluntarily because he thought he would have a better career off the show rather than on it. Like the rest of us Paula obviously forgot about Dunkleman and what happened to his career after he decided to pull the plug on Idol. He told The Howard Stern show that he still holds a grudge against Ryan Seacrest and is jealous. You think so? You think it is any more so now that Ryan just signed a deal for $45M over three years? They were both unknown when American Idol started and now it seems like Ryan controls the world and Brian is out trying to peddle a show about his life called American Dunkleman.
