Paula Abdul: TV Producer?
If Simon and Ryan can do it, why can't Paula?
American Idol's perkiest personality is looking to expand her media empire and develop a new TV project focusing on her.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Paula Abdul is in talks with CBS Paramount Domestic Television to develop and produce the proposed syndicated series.
Outside of her day job--she recently signed a three-year contract extension to keep sparring with Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson over whether a wannabe was too pitchy--the 43-year-old Grammy winner has plenty of extracurriculars.
The "Straight Up" singer has served as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight, distributed by CBS Paramount, since the 2002-03 season. She has also guest-hosted the syndicated Good Day Live, appeared on a variety of other gabfests and acted in such TV shows as ABC's Less Than Perfect and Disney Channel's That's So Raven.
Right now details of Abdul's new TV project are sketchy. Neither Abdul nor CBS Paramount would comment on the trade report.
Meanwhile, there's been a development in Abdul's alleged nightclub fight. The singer had filed a police report earlier this month claiming that a man had roughed her and her companion, Dante Spencer, at the Hollywood hot spot Xenii.
Some clubgoers accused Abdul of making up the story after she was initially denied entry into the party. However, according to various online reports, a photographer who was at the scene reportedly snapped a shot of Abdul lying unconscious on the floor while Spencer and security guards yelled at one another. Los Angeles police have purportedly been using the photo while they probe the incident. There was no immediate comment Friday from the LAPD.
But fans hoping for more positive Paula news will be happy about this.
Abdul is planning to unveil the Paula Abdul Jewelry Collection, an exclusive line of bling she designed herself, in two one-hour shows airing on QVC tonight at at 9 p.m. ET.
