Continuing from last week, we have another 80’s icon/inventor: Paula Abdul! Note that this one is a published patent application, but not an issued patent. It looks like it was abandoned for failure to respond to an Office Action. However, patent applications are published after 18 months, so we can still enjoy it.

US Application No. 20090196451A1 DYNAMIC MICROPHONE SUPPORT APPARATUS
