[NEWS] Paula Abdul Sings… But Not On American Idol

News, Shows

Our friend Michael Ausiello at TVGuide.com is reporting that, yes, Paula Abdul will be singing live… at Super Bowl XLII (which perhaps not-so-coincidentally is on Fox this year).

Will she be singing the halftime show? My guess is that she won’t, as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are set to perform. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her on during the tailgate/pre-show festivities, but given that it’s the Big Game, that could mean she’s on at 11am. I’m pretty sure that worked wonders for FeFe Dobson’s career stateside.

Ausiello also mentions that Abdul was in rehearsals for a video with her and Randy Jackson for his album. I really hope this doesn’t mean that Randy is dancing.

Regardless, American Idol starts next week with my least favourite part of the show: auditions.
