Paula Abdul’s Celebrity Babysitter

Paula Abdul spoke with Webster Hall’s Baird Jones about her famous baby-sitter Michael Bolton, who watched the ‘American Idol’ judge when she was 7 and 8. “He used to call me a brat and I said he was the worst baby sitter in the world but I actually loved him,” Abdul revealed. “I was [once] wearing my cute little Brownies uniform. I stuck a pencil in my knee and Michael had to take me to the doctor. He’s a good father now and I think he got his training baby-sitting me… but I don’t think he ever sang me to sleep.”
