Somebody had to hire Paula Abdul eventually. Hopefully for less than $15 million a season.
CBS has signed Abdul for its upcoming reality series Got to Dance (working title). Yes, apparently we need another dance show. She will serve as the show’s executive producer/creative partner/mentor/coach/lead judge/advocate (hopefully I didn’t miss any made up slashes).
Paula Abdul commented, “I’ve spent the better part of my life teaching, mentoring, nurturing – working with so many talented people – and I consider myself truly blessed to be able to continue to do something that I hold so dear to my heart. I am thrilled to be creative partners with Reveille, Shine, and CBS and to present the best new dance talent to American audiences. Each and every week we’ll showcase the challenges and successes of a fantastic group of dancers, as they perform and compete – compelling stories, exciting competition and amazing dance performances are guaranteed.â€
“Paula is the perfect fit for GOT TO DANCE… an accomplished dancer, choreographer and popular entertainment figure, she has a real appreciation for the talents our dancers will bring each week,†said Jennifer Bresnan, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, CBS Entertainment. “As a creative partner, her expertise will provide great insight and a nurturing, creative energy both behind the scenes and on camera.â€
