This week is jam-packed for Paula and it begins with an event for In Defence of Animals which she is hosting. Animals are a huge part of Paula's life and she loves nothing more than her four dogs. She is however, running late and is so hungry she states she 'could probably eat a dog'.

At her staff meeting the next day Paula is exhausted from lack of sleep and it shows both in her mannerisms and the concern on her employees faces as her attention wanes. She's also having some issues with her assistants this week. She explains through tears that it makes her 'cuckoo' when they make mistakes like not telling her to reply to emails and it doesn't help when she thinks they think she's crazy.

Next Paula's off to Philadelphia to record two jewellery shows on QVC. The shows are a success with everything selling out completely; unfortunately this is not good news for Paula. She has promised the American Idol guys some of her jewellery and Marty, her merchandising rep, assured her some would be set aside. This however does not happen and Paula, to her disgust, must put her hand in her pocket and order jewellery that she's designed to keep her promise. An exasperated Paula exclaims she's "tired of people not treating her like the gift that she is".

Finally this week Paula is due in New York to appear on the David Letterman show. Disaster strikes when a blizzard hits Philadelphia. It may not be safe to drive to New York, the airport is closed and on top of this it looks as if Paula is coming down with the flu. Will she get to New York City on time to make her appearance? This episode is to be continued…
