Paula Abdul Lands New Gig As Judge And Exec Producer Of Got To Dance

Paula Abdul has signed on to a new dance competition show, Got To Dance, where she'll perform double duty as the series' head judge and executive producer.
Effectively ending months of speculation that she'd join former colleague Simon Cowell's the X Factor, or any number of other competition shows who have courted the former AI judge since she declined to return for season 9, CBS announced the deal with Abdul today.
Got To Dance is based on the British hit series, which features all genres of dancing. The show is slated for a mid-season debut, which pits it directly against the now Simon-less American Idol.
Are you excited to see the return of Paula?
