Zsa Zsa as talent search judge: You can be honest without being hurtful

A good number of celebrities who sit as judges in talent searches sometimes get a bum rap for treating contestants with kid gloves or sounding overly patronizing. But, if Zsa Zsa Padilla ever agrees to sit as a
judge, don’t expect excessive praise or half-hearted niceties from her.

“Many judges are wary of the backlash that could result from being brutally frank,” the lovely songstress told us. “But, you also have to remember that you won’t be of any help to the contestants if all you’ll say are nice things. These days, few people have enough guts to say it as it is. So, if I get to sit as a judge in these competitions, I will be very honest and straight to the point without being hurtful.” Spot-on, Zsa Zsa. —RITO ASILO
