Paula Abdul [click here to read] will make a cameo in what’s expected to be one of the funniest movies of the year — but she didn’t even know it. The American Idol judge [click here to read] recently went on the Johnjay and Rich radio show to talk about being duped by Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen, who fooled Abdul into participating in a off-the-wall interview for his upcoming film Brüno. “It is the most interesting, whacked-out situation that happened to me. I was scarred for life for a year,” Abdul said.

As the story goes, Abdul was told by Cohen’s crew, acting as the producers of a German awards show, that she was the recipient of Germany’s “Artist of the Year” award. Seem a little ridiculous? Keep in mind that country showers David Hasselhoff in love. An interview was arranged, Abdul showed up at a house in the Hollywood Hills and encountered Cohen playing Brüno. “I walk into the home and I’m greeted by this futuristic Captain Nemo–looking dude with a mohawk — and he’s flaming,” Abdul said. “And I’m going, ‘Oh, this is going to be one of those fun Japanese game shows.’ I’m like, OK, this is weird.”
