Fan's body found outside Paula Abdul's home

Los Angeles, California (AP)--Authorities have identified the woman found dead outside "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul's house as a fan and one-time show contestant.

The woman, Paula Goodspeed, was found dead outside Abdul's house Tuesday evening, authorities said. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office says relatives identified her body Wednesday morning.

Goodspeed tried out for the fifth season of "American Idol," but the judges rejected her rendition of "Proud Mary."

Relatives of the 30-year-old reported her missing Tuesday afternoon. Police suspect her death was a suicide, though no official cause of death has been determined.

Abdul was not home when the woman was found, but released a statement saying she was "deeply shocked and saddened."

I saw this on Entertainment Tonight. She seemed to have an unhealthy obsession, with her license plate as like Abdul Lover and etc.

Best wishes to her family and friends.

wow... that's shocking. 30 year old going on 15 .... with a need to be famous for anything. It reminded me of kids that answer the question
"what do you want to be when you grow up?"
with
"famous!".....
"ok famous for what?"
... "I don't know...anything"

scary...
