Paula Abdul to judge Dance Show

Popstar Paula Abdul may soon be seen on small screen as the judge of a dance reality show. Abdul had recently announced her decision to quit popular music reality show ‘American Idol’ after judging the show for eight seasons.

She is now in talks with Nigel Lythgoe about becoming a part of a dance reality show named “So You Think You Can Dance”.

The executive producer Lythgoe seemed interested in bringing Abdul to the show but believes Abdul’s apparent departure from ‘American Idol’ might be reversed. “I don’t know anybody that’s had her experience of being a dancer, of being a choreographer and of being a judge,” Lythgoe said.

Jennifer Lopez not to sign up American Idol

Singer turned actress Jennifer Lopez has denied reports that she was in the run to replace “American Idol” judge Paula Abdul.

Abdul had recently hinted that she was not too keen to return to the show and had not signed a contract with Idol producers to return for season 8 of the FOX hit singing competition, fuelling reports that Lopez was to replace her.

But the “Waiting for Tonight” hitmaker, who recently wrapped up her latest movie “The Backup Plan” in New York, has termed reports as "false".

"The rumor of Jennifer Lopez throwing herself in the ring to take over for Paula Abdul is completely false. Jennifer loves Idol but just as a fan. She just wrapped the feature film “The Backup Plan”, due out January 2010, and will release an album then as well," said a representative for Jennifer Lopez.
