Is Paula Abdul on the Rhode to love?

Dec 29th, 2011

Straight Up now tell us, has Paula Abdul found love in Little Rhody?

The interwebs are abuzz with multiple sightings of the “X Factor” judge with not one, but two sons of Providence Municipal Court Judge Frank Caprio who, BTW, has his own local TV show, “Caught in Providence.” How very judgey!

Paula spent the hols on the South Coast of Rhode Island with the Caprio fam and on Tuesday ventured into neighboring Massachusetts, where she put in an appearance at a tasting at Wines & More in Wareham with hunky store franchisee John Caprio.

The scion of the political family added fuel to the lovey-dovey rumors when John told WarehamWeek.com — with a big smile on his face — that Mizz Abdul was “a good friend of mine.” Hmmm. Can’t hear that enough …

Back in Little Rhody, Paula was spotted supping at Papa Razzi in Cranston with John’s older bro, state Rep. David Caprio, a bachelor. And yesterday she popped into Pinkberry at Garden City Center with her bodyguard and shopped at Sephora in the Providence Place Mall, where she snapped pics with fans, according to the Twitterverse.

Also, word is this wasn’t the national TV judge’s first trip to the Ocean State — she’s been a weekend warrior ever since Thanksgiving. Coincidentally, Abdul’s nephew, Austin Mandel, a Brown University senior, is the starting forward of the men’s soccer team. We hear Auntie Paula was in the stands cheering on her kin last month when the Bears lost in a 3-2 defeat to St. Mary’s in the third round of the NCAA championship.
