Have you missed the effervescent and eternally positive musing of Paula Abdul on primetime TV? Well, the former 'American Idol' judge has landed a new job at CBS as the lead judge and mentor on 'Got To Dance,' according to the Hollywood Reporter.The show is based on the British hit and will feature dancers of all ages with performances ranging "from ballroom to break dance, bhangra to ballet, and tap to tango." On the UK version, acts compete in front of a panel of judges and viewers vote for their favorites.
CBS will make the news offcial on Monday. Adbul is also expected to be an excutive producer on the series, which is being developed by ShineReveille.
'Got to dance' will likely air mid-season, and as the Reporter notes, that would pit Abdul directly against both the next season of 'Idol' and Simon Cowell's new show, 'The X-Factor.'
Abdul used Twitter to announce her departure from 'Idol' last August. In a series of tweets, Adbul said: With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to #IDOL."
Abdul went on to say that she would "miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of the show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon." In another tweet, Adbul said that she wanted to express "how much I appreciate the undying sipport and enormous love that you have showered upon me...I do without any doubt have the 'BEST' fans in the entire world and I love you all."
With 'Got to Dance," Abdul will get the kind of nurturing she craves.
CBS now joins the other three (3) major networks in having a dance related show - The most popular being ABC's Dancing With The Stars' and Fox's So You Think You Can Dance,' NBC's 'America's Got Talent,' while not strictly a dance show, includes plenty of hoofing action.
My spin on the new show: Paula , you have a lot of competition to go against and it will be hard being the new kid on the block, but we do wish you well . Just wondering if Paula will wear her bells and sometime out-landish out-fits...a lot of viewers tuned in to see what Paula would wear next...Good luck Paula!
Hi PIC, I sure hope Paula has a hit on her hands. I always kind of liked her wackiness.
ReplyDeleteI am watching the finale of Dancing wWth the Stars.
It was an exhausting day and it was hot as an oven. But we had a nice lunch out. Toronto is a beautiful city.
Hi PIC
ReplyDeleteAnd how was your day? Divine, I hope.
ReplyDeleteIs it hot there??Did you bake today?? I only ask because I am starving hungry.
Glad you made it okay and can relax a little now.
ReplyDeleteHow's Brian...frisky I know. Is Nana on her job that would be a yes?
I'm pulling for Paula to do well, I always tuned in to see what she was wearing and was she high... I don't think Randy/Ellen can pull it off after simon leaves.
Yes it's hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement. I baked a little, a pie /cake don't last here but a day.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you poach you an egg on toast?
Hey PIC...did the tests show that you were pregnant..[giggles} hahaha
ReplyDeleteI made some bread and put it up to rise and told Mamie to watch it for me while I go see what the fools was doing, they are just sitting round like a bunch of stupid idiots.
ReplyDeleteCan you see me???
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Randy and Ellen. They must have someone else lined up for Simon's place.
ReplyDeleteBrian is frisky. While I was gardening yesterday he came to the back door naked and did his little dance for me. Fortunately we have a rather private yard.Nana is in fighting form.
I am a little sick from the testing. After all, they test me with substances that make me sick. They have to find out everything that is toxic to me because I could have an exposure to an untested substance and possibly go into a coma or die. I have frequently passed out from an exposure to something we didn't know about.
Yes I am not having a problem seeing you and yes I am having triplets.I fall for the jiggle dance every time.
ReplyDeleteSweetie , I hope you feel better soon...I think the best thing to do is for you to get some rest now, I know how tired tests can make you with all the poking/prodding the doctors do.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could curl up with a good book or TV show and just pinch the "ROCK" you know where.
I just knew the Rock was going to get you good...Name them cupcake/sassy and giggles.
ReplyDeleteI am glad your yard is semi-private but I don't think our men care it just come natural to them to be free.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine honey. I will sleep in tomorrow.I'd love some of your homemade bread.
ReplyDeleteThe rock is dozing at the moment. If I went and pinched it he would jump six feet in the air.But it is tempting. I love to make him jump.
Did the guys get to see the fireworks??
ReplyDeleteAin't it nice to have a man you can have fun with??? To know he will always be there for you and you don't have to worry about him playing in someone else backyard.
ReplyDeleteSweetie , we are lucky.
I watched CSI:M last night and couldn't make heads or tails about the shit they was doing.
ReplyDeleteYes they saw some fireworks.They are so cute. They are very loving little boys.I got home in time to take them to Karate.
ReplyDeleteThey are talking on the news about Bird island. There is oil all around it and people are working feverishly to save all those birds.
They are also showing video of Louisiana's marshlands. There is thick brown goo all over the marsh grasses.
ReplyDeleteThe oil coming out of the pipe now is black. They think that the black stuff is more polluting.
ReplyDeleteMr Obama got mad at BP today and told them to get off their asses.
I watched the Hurt Locker last night. Have you seen it??
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't as good as I had heard.
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't seen it yet, it must be really good the stores can't keep in stocked, I'm on the list, I should have it by the weekend.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the big hail storm ?? There are at least thirt/forty videos of it on Youtube.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a long time before we recover from this if ever, the black goo is spreading like wildfire.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's Obama problem is...thr rig blew up April 20 and that was a month ago and the public knew how bad it was , why didn't he tell his people to get off their asses and look into this crap...
ReplyDeleteThey have been testing bottled water in Canada and have found several species of bacteria, some of which are bad for people in many brands. They have not named the brands yet but we know they are sold all over the world.
ReplyDeleteYes I seen the video of the hail.
ReplyDeleteIf you put a video on here I watch it.
Hurricane season starts June 1st and we are in for a rough time.
Obama got a group of scientists and engineers together in the US and they are working on it but he still expects BP to bring something to the table.
ReplyDeleteWe have a water filter on our water system, they are worth the cost.
ReplyDeleteThey found that one company here was just using plain tap water.
I do not envy your hurricane season. It must be a worry for you. You never know how severe it is going to get. It could be mild or deadly. Lately you have been having more of the deadly variety.I pity New Orleans, first they are devastated by a hurricane, now they are covered in oil slick and it's hurricane season again. The hurricanes may spread that oil even further.
ReplyDeleteBP is just out there for the money and we have seen BP's best...there are a lot of people out there that has ideas, how about Kevin Costner and his brother and there is a lot more. It's so sad to see the people begging for help.
ReplyDeleteTo me Obama is moving to slow, he should have been on there asses from the git-go.
People are losing their jobs left and right and now this not only affects the fishermen but everyone that depends on them for food. A lot of seafood business will close because of this ...then what???
All we get here in north Louisiana is the aftermath of the hurricanes like violent storms/winds.Tornadoes are what we fear most.
ReplyDeleteSouth Lousiana is quite a distance from me.
The only thing we worry about in summer is whether the farmers will get enough rain. We usually have kind of dry summers. Peter and the boys had their first swim in the lake on the weekend but they said it was stll cold. It will take another week or two for it to get rid of that chill.
ReplyDeleteWe are feeling the pinch of the seafood prices they have jumped about 30/40 % in a month.
ReplyDeleteI know you have been having an unusually bad tornado season. One of the tornadoes( It may have been in Texas)picked up a truck off the road with a man and woman in it and set it down in a field miles away. Unfortunately the people inside were dead when it was found.
ReplyDeleteWe was planning on going down to N.O. to the beach and take my babies crabbing, I was so loking forward to seeing Gilly run from them and now Florida beaches is out also.
ReplyDeleteI know you can't wait to get in the water, and the Rock is ready for a swim and maybe some skinny-dipping.
What is Randy Jackson thinking? The fucking jerk will charge money for people to look at his brother's grave, WTF???
ReplyDeleteThe whole family are lowlifes and assholes.
Yes it was in Texas,the tornadoes seem to travel almost the same route all the time but we try to be prepared for them.
ReplyDeleteOur Governor is a crazy little bastard he really don't know what to do, everyone is blaming someone else.
[giggles] You know Randy/Jermaine has 2 kids each by the same woman(both boys) and she and her kids was the one that Katherine put outfor having the stun gun.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check to see if they are still on A&E.
I guess the whole population of Louisiana loves their fish and seafood according to Nana.So that must really hurt you guys. You will probably have to import fish and crustaceans from the Orient.Or maybe Canada. That is going to keep the prices up.
ReplyDeleteIt must hurt the poor who fish for their own food.
I really don't know if Katherine should be raising MJ's kids, she didn't do a good job with her own kids and now she's to old to raise these...she didm't now what was going on in her own home, a stun gun....really.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what is the story about them sharing this woman?? And how could she let herself be handed around like that?? She sounds like a skank.That must be their taste in women...Yechh
ReplyDeleteYou are right about Katherine. She did not do an outstanding job on her kids and she did not protect Michael or Latoya from Beady. She is not a good choice to raise those kids but she is the best of a bad bunch.
ReplyDeleteWe on this end have a lot of lakes and yes if it swims we eat it.
ReplyDeleteFarmers fish market says they will get their from Canada because they are better and you know what you get is fresh.
I have tried to find out about her, sis says she remember when they got into a fight about her and she was still married to one of them.
ReplyDeleteThose kids was messed up from the start...they will never be normal and the Jackson family will always be there for a handout.
I don't think any of the boys married black women...I don't know if Latoya is still married to the same guy but he was white and he beat the shit out of her and she's had a lot of work done.
ReplyDeleteYou must be so frustrated with the oil disaster because nothing helpful is being done.
ReplyDeleteMy family is married to all kinds.
ReplyDeleteoh,oh, I forgot, no one has found them a chinaman yet, maybe because we don't have any here, if we do I haven't seen any...hahaha
I am very frustrated about whats takeig so long.
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed in Obama because it seems he's trying to please everyone.
Hell, just do what he has to do and get it over with because these coon-ass crackers not going to like him by no means because he's black and educated.
Maybe I'm wrong...but wasn't Obama elected to lead this country because he was capable of doing it and was the best we had.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me why in hell do other countries like him and not us...I'm not talking about China , they don't like anyone.
ReplyDeleteI agree that a solution is taking far too long coming.I've got ideas about it and I bet thousands of people do. They won't listen to anyone without an engineering degree though.
ReplyDeleteYes Obama should have taken a bigger role in this. He got a team together to fix it but I don't think we have heard anything from them yet. Obama could have appealed to the scientists of the world to help. He could have kicked BP up the ass to move them. I think they have fallen down on the job.
ReplyDeleteThat don't mean crap, just because you don't have a degree don't mean you don't know or have ideas.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a degree in designing clothes but people still ask s for ideas.
That's how a lot of great inventions was started with just an idea.
They could appeal to NASA, there are a lot of people out there but this is all about the money.
ReplyDeleteObama may be a one term President.
I bet Nana know about some of those places here.
Chines men are okay to marry. They are fairly adaptable and they like all things American, even karaoke.Japanese men are more traditional and like their women to be submissive at all times.No good for American girls to marry.
ReplyDeleteAmerican men however,love Japanes women. They pamper and wait on their men
Appealing to NASA is a fantastic idea. I wonder if Dr Rusty would have ideas. Look at all the brain power and engineers there. We should challenge them on the blog here . Maybe one of them would see it.
ReplyDeleteHi girls!
ReplyDeleteJust popping in to say hi, I hope you don't mind!
Lina
Hi Lina. Got any ideas how to plug the oil pipe???
ReplyDeleteSome people are saying it was something wrong in the beginning and it should be a charges filed against BP.
ReplyDeleteWell they really need to cork that thing to at least stop the flow of oil. In terms of the stuff already in the water and along the coast, studies have shown things like peat moss is good at soaking it up and some bacteria actually eat it...
ReplyDeleteLina
:)
Hi Lina...Of course we don't mind.
ReplyDeleteAnd BP? Safety failures, the higher ups in the company were accepting free gifts and all that...
ReplyDeleteIf not criminal charges a nice class action lawsuit should be doable...
Lina
It's true there are oil and plastic eating bacteria.
ReplyDeleteThe existing slick is so huge now that the solution to cleaning up needs to be pretty radical and revolutionary.But first things first. They have to stop the spill foremost.
They need to plug it while they drill another well right beside it to take the pressure off the broken one.
ReplyDeleteVis a vis class action lawsuit...OH YEAH!
ReplyDeleteLina...glad you dropped in , what time is it there??? It's 11:20 here.
ReplyDeleteit is 9:50 PM here in CA
ReplyDelete:)
Lina
Apparently some safety regulations were ignored. Lives were lost. Those families are not going to sit on their hands. I'll wager they have already lawyered up.
ReplyDeleteThe family down from me is going to sue big time, it won't bring the husband/father back but will help take care of the kids.
ReplyDeleteThis case really is a perfect one for a class action. Honestly, I am saddened to see how long it is taking all the while ecosystems are being destroyed.
ReplyDelete:)
Well girl you can join us all the time , we are glad to have you and any ideas you have.
ReplyDeleteI got my degree in Environmental Chemistry but sadly work in this area right now hard to find, at least in CA.
ReplyDelete:)
Well you're needed in Louisiana right now girl. I bet if you could get some time off you would be down there washing off ducks and seagulls and mopping up oil.
ReplyDeleteLina what time do you have to be at work???
ReplyDeletei start work at 9:30 AM
ReplyDelete:)
It's 1:04 in my part of Canada right now but I am a nightowl. I only need ten minutes sleep .
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Canada when I was younger. Alberta :)
ReplyDeleteI miss it sometimes, especially with the craziness of Hollyweird.
:)
How do we challenge them on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI think I will go down to the Mayor's office tomorrow and go to Obama blog I know the gov't should have one.
I love Alberta, except for the flat parts. And that takes up a lot of it....HA!
ReplyDeletePIC: We can write a post appealing to the scientists and engineers at NASA to put their heads together. We know that one of them reads the blog. He can pass the challenge on.
Lina ...I was just about to ask where you from...and yes we do need you here.
ReplyDeleteYou have family in Ca.?? How long you been with us???
Have any ideas you like to discuss just say so.
Rusty Schweickart is one of the mission chairmen.
ReplyDeleteI like that and I bet Dr. Rusty will pass it on and maybe it will pisk up steam.
ReplyDeleteHell Nasa put a man on the moon if they would ask his team I bet they would come up with an answer.
It happened April 20th.
I wish Dr.Rusty had a comment page on his blog.
ReplyDeleteYou know I can't write the challenge they would never know what I'm talking about. I might end up telling them about the choochie[giggles].
Why don't we each write an appeal and we'll put them together as one on the blog??It couldn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteLina, if you come up with an idea related to the oil tradgedy with merit, we'll put it on the blog with credit to you.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYes with Lina's background in chemistry it will be a great help if she would write something.
Now I will have to go see where to start and what to say.
I think Rusty has come across a choochie or two in his time. But maybe he is so preoccupied with his work he never noticed them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need a job...
ReplyDeleteThat's why he's so smart and good at his job, he's a one choochie man.
ReplyDeleteI think we better close shop for now, otherwise you'll be a cranky old mommy tomorrow. I don't want to be responsible for your kids growing up in terror of you.
ReplyDeleteSo I'll see you down at the marshes in the oil slick. You better wear your Welly boots.Maybe if we gathered enough maxi pads with wings we could soak it up.
Honestly it keeps me awake at night in frustration .
Sure thing girls :)
ReplyDeleteLove to help out. Sorry I got distracted there for a minute. Was watching Miami I ha taped.
I think Rusty is pretty old. HE may be a little rusty...HA!
ReplyDeleteOh don't I wish I could put a little terror in them they just laughs and says mama is on the warpath, even my little man don't run from me anymore he just run to me and laugh his ass off... I swear thet boy is as crazy as his daddy.
ReplyDeleteSweetie I will see you with the pads and my hip boots.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight and sweet dreams.
HUGS&KISSES....PIC
Kiss the ROCK.
Goodnight Lina and have a good one tomorrow and a great walk on the beach....CC
ReplyDeleteYou're so damn proud of those kids you could bust your buttons.You don't fool me. You wouldn't have them any other way.I already love Gilly. He is my kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what to do as a post. It'll probably be something stupid because I am tired.
ReplyDeleteGo to bed and get some rest...We can post after you rest.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight Sweetie...see you tomorrow. It's going to be a great day....luv&hugs...PIC
ReplyDeleteP.S. Yes Gilly is your kind of guy, he farts and scares himself and run to his daddy because he thinks something has his ass.Haha
ReplyDeleteNITE.
