Once again, we check in on the Amazing Racers' latest pit stop. As usual, we leave every detail and ever pregnant pause of Phil's up to our sibling Jaunted while we take a look at which hotel we would choose to stay in at each pit stop.

This week, the crew landed in Malaysia where they could gobble cookies or "apply batik to fabric". We, on the other hand, would rather stop in at the Ritz-Carlton in Kuala Lumpur, mainly because it's a Ritz we can afford. Rooms average about $183 a night and are extremely spacious. You also can order your butler around, relax in the hotel spa, or around the pool, shop at the luxury mall next door and get this, according to one guest surf the internet with the hotel's free broadband internet. We never thought we'd see the day....

Paula Abdul Melts at the Ritz

Where: 168 Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 55100

Consumed by fears that if sent to prison she would have to spend time away from her ugly outfits, annoying dogs and schemes to get Simon Cowell in bed, "American Idol" and "Straight Up Now Tell Me" girl Paula Abdul, refused to get out of her bed at the Kuala Lumpur Ritz Carlton.

Paula was in Kuala Lumpur for a benefit concert when she found out that authorities planned to file criminal charges against her for clipping a car on the freeway and not stopping in Los Angeles last December.

She was supposed to meet the king and queen of Malaysia but was freaking out too much, according to the New York Post. Finally, she pulled herself together to attend the event but when she got back to the hotel she scratched her friend's face in front of a Ritz Carlton staffer who was in the room. The horror.
