Paula Abdul to Get Her Own Talk Show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 02-24-2010, 12:07 AM

Paula Abdul is following in the footsteps of talk show queen Oprah Winfrey after signing a deal for her own TV series on the mogul's new broadcasting network.

Abdul stepped down from her last TV job, as a judge on hit reality show American Idol, in August following an alleged pay dispute. She has since been replaced by talk show host Ellen Degeneres.

However, Abdul is preparing to re-launch her small screen career by taping a one-hour pilot episode for the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). The program will reportedly feature celebrity guests and people telling inspirational stories in a similar format to the media mogul's current chat show.

Meanwhile, the Straight Up hit-maker continues to fuel rumors she's to rejoin former American Idol colleague Simon Cowell as a panelist on the U.S. version of his British talent show The X Factor.

Last week, Abdul told reporters: "I'm going back to my roots and doing a TV show that has something to do with my roots. I knew that I would not be able to say certain things. I want to be able to say everything right now, but I can't."

Guess they haven't learned from the show "Hey, Paula!" I predict this to flop as well.

more false info from the internet...already denied by Oprah.....leading spots for Paula right now is the interview job on "Dancing With The Stars" and/or a panalist on Simon's "X-Factor".

I guess the rumor that Paula's going to replace Jimmy Fallon on "LATE NIGHT" this summer is just as unsubstantial {it should be- I just made it up!}
