Abdul crusades for clean cuticles

“American Idol” judge Paula Abdul is the latest celebrity to take up an important political cause. World hunger? Global warming? Nah.
Safe nail manicures.
Seems Abdul suffered a painful thumb infection due to unsanitized manicure tools. She testified recently for a California bill requiring nail salons to adopt hygiene standards for manicures.
Look for more important celebrity-inspired legislation soon: Oprah’s Law, for instance, requires shops to stay open late just for her.

    Did she want her driving record clean too?

    Hey! There are lots of causes, large and small, and if that’s one she wants to advocate, it’s her decision. Let her be!

    Good for Paula. Im sure she wouldnt want someone to go through the pain she did. She nearly lost her thumb.
