American Idol – Paula Abdul's heartbreak
Thursday, 29 May 2008
Paula Abdul's dancing dreams have been shattered by the producer of American Idol - he doesn't want his top judge appearing on rival show Dancing With The Stars.
Abdul, a former choreographer, has made no secret of her desire to compete on Dancing With The Stars, revealing in a recent interview, "I'd be honoured. I want to wear the pretty dresses!"
But Idol executive producer Nigel hates the idea of Abdul waltzing away to another show on a rival U.S. TV network.
He tells In Touch magazine, "As far as I'm concerned, Paula is American Idol and our judge. It's like asking Simon (Cowell) to sing. Why would I want that?"
"It's not that Paula wouldn't be good at it. She would be brilliant. But she was a dancer, so why would a dancer go on a dancing show? That doesn't seem fair to me!"
But the opposition hasn't put Abdul off: "I'm hypothetically thinking about it (Dancing With The Stars)."
It is rumoured that actress Tara Reid and Western Bulldogs AFL footballer Jason Akermanis have also been approached for the next series of Dancing With The Stars.
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey has said no to starring in the hit series.
