People.com reports that fellow American Idol judge Randy Jackson was also there in the radio studio to hear the song which will appear on the upcoming album Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol 1. "This is a big moment, dude," he said adding that Paula's dance hits of the 80s and 90s like Straight Up, Opposites Attract and Vibeology "used to make me melt". "It just seemed the right time," Paula said, when asked why she was releasing a new record more than 15 years after her last single came out in 1993. "The timing just came together." Randy's album will also feature tracks from Mariah Carey, Joss Stone, Richie Sambora, and former Idol contestants Katharine McPhee and Elliot Yamin. It will be released in the US on March 11. Absent from the record debut was Simon Cowell, who spoke briefly to Ryan on the phone from England. » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss abdul rush rushes back to the airwaves with new single It was a true "American Idol" day on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Friday morning as Paula Abdul debuted her new song, "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow." Randy Jackson accompanied the former Laker Girl for the debut, with Simon Cowell calling in from England. Paula, who hasn't released a single since 1995, said, "It just seemed the right time. The timing just came together." Ryan called Paula's new song "a historical moment," and Jackson agreed saying, "This is a big moment, dude." Paula's "Dance" will appear on Randy Jackson's album "Music Club Volume 1," a compilation album also featuring be Mariah Carey, Joss Stone, Travis Tritt, and Richie Sambora, along with "Idol" contestants Katharine McPhee and Elliot Yamin. The album is scheduled to drop on January 29. Paula Abdul is scheduled to perform her new single at the Super Bowl pre-show. » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss paula abdul releases new jackson single on seacrest's radio show By Christopher Rocchio Since it's been more than a decade since she released any original music, Paula Abdul apparently needed some help from her American Idol friends in unveiling her new single. Abdul and fellow Idol judge Randy Jackson both appeared on Idol host Ryan Seacrest's Friday morning KIIS-FM radio show to debut her new single "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow," which was produced by Jackson. Abdul's last single -- "Crazy Cool" -- was released in 1995. "Everything is timing. Just timing. It just seemed like it was the right time," said Abdul. "I've been bugging Randy for so long, 'Come on. We have to do this!' The right song came around... It has been a surreal experience." "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" will be the first single released from Jackson's upcoming album "Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1," which is scheduled to drop March 11. "We've been sitting here talking about doing something for a long time," said Jackson. "I'm looking at Paula, I'm going, 'Yo man, Paula, we've got to do something!' She's sold 50 million albums -- one of the biggest stars in the world! So we found something fun to do." While the song was being broadcast for the first time, Seacrest said he "witnessed a very sweet moment." "Paula, she got up -- and you guys have been working on this for a very long time -- and she walked over to Randy, and she gave him a hug, and she embraced him for quite a while... I think he cried a little bit." Seacrest referred to the unveiling of Abdul's single as "a historical movement on a very big day." Abdul and Jackson's fellow Idol judge Simon Cowell was also on the phone from England, where he was filming an episode of Britain's Got Talent. Not surprisingly, Cowell wasn't very enthusiastic. "Seriously?" answered Cowell when told by Seacrest that the song was getting "a lot of great feedback." Abdul's "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" music video will reportedly premiere during Fox's pregame coverage of Super Bowl XLII on Sunday, February 3. Abdul got her entertainment start working as a Los Angeles Lakers' Laker Girl before eventually becoming the group's choreographer. She then went on to choreograph music videos for numerous artists, from Duran Duran and Dolly Parton to Janet Jackson and INXS. As a pop-star in the 1980s, Abdul sang numerous hits, including "Opposites Attract," "Forever Your Girl," "Rush, Rush" and "Crazy Cool." The music video for "Opposites Attract" won Abdul a 1991 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss January 17, 2008 american idol odds: god bless american idol betting Okay so let's get this out of the way first: why does Randy Jackson insist on referring to singing as "blowing"? Doesn't he feel the world snicker when he screams, "Yeah man, you can blow!"? Philadelphia brought out some head-scratchers like 22-year-old James Lewis, who seemed to have an issue or two. Temptress Browne, a 16-year-old female linebacker (not kidding) also had a few pitch problems, but a heart of gold and an ailing mother who loved her. "The not so good news is that you're not a great singer, Sweetheart," Simon Cowell told Temptress as she burst into tears. Alexis Cohen a college student from Allentown, Pennsylvania who lives with her mother and cats gave a scary audition. "Well Simon didn't didn't like me but he's a big, fat, bad word," Cohen screamed at Ryan Seacrest. Junot Joyer was a bright spot, belting out Elton John's, "Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues." Twenty-six-year-old Angela Martin, whose young daughter suffers from Rett Syndrome will also go far. Although Simon said she needed to "de-wedding-ize her voice (she's a wedding/corporate events singer), The Beat is predicting big things for this young woman. Kristy Lee Cook from Oregon who sang "Amazing Grace" was also a judge favorite, while Beth Stalker blew away Randy and Paula… but not Simon. Other hopefuls included 39-year-old social worker, Milo Turk, who sang his original, "No Sex Allowed," while 24-year-old Star Wars fan Christina Tolisano had a hard time with rejection. "They need something different for this show and they're not allowing it," Christina cried after she was dismissed.

The album not only includes the long-awaited return to recording of fellow judge Paula (on Dance Like There's No Tomorrow, the song whose video is being previewed at the Super Bowl, which should be interesting (the video, not necessarily the Super Bowl), but also appearances by Elliott and Katharine on a track. March 11 is the release date for the album, which Randy produced and covers a multitude of styles, here's that track listing in full: 1. "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" - featuring Paula Abdul 2. "Something To Believe In" - featuring Jason Mraz, Van Hunt & Jon McLaughlin 3. "What Am I So Afraid Of" - featuring Keke Wyatt, Trisha Covington & Kylie Dean 4. "Just Walk On By" - featuring Joss Stone & Three 6 Mafia 5. "Home" - featuring John Rich, Anthony Hamilton & Sara Watkins (Daughtry song? Just asking.) 6. "Wang Dang Doodle" - featuring Sam Moore, Keb' Mo' & Angie Stone 7. "Like A" - featuring Crunk Squad 8. "Who's Gonna Love You Now" - featuring Kelli Selah 9. "My R&B" - featuring Barbi Esco 10. "Real Love" - featuring Katherine McPhee & Elliott Yamin 11. "Willing To Try" - featuring Richie Sambora, Travis Tritt & Lucy Woodward 12. "I Understand" - featuring Bebe Winans, Kim Burrell, Rance Allen, Mariah Carey & Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Tabernacle Church Choir » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss January 15, 2008 'idol' premiere could be biggest If Nielsen Media Research data can predict television show popularity, then the 7th season of American Idol, set to air tonight and Wednesday, should be the biggest premiere in "American Idol" history. Research shows the 6th season premiere brought in 37.3 million viewers to Fox's broadcast, only to break the previous record of the 35.5 million viewers from season five's premiere. An average of 30 million people watched each twice-weekly episode of "Idol'' last season, an audience that was roughly 50 percent larger than that for the next most-watched show, ABC's "Dancing With the Stars.'' Gainesville fans are gearing up to watch the increasingly sarcastic comments Simon Cowell and his fellow judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul can aim at aspiring singers on the show. "The first few episodes are the best because of all the horrible singers," said UF sophomore Jennifer Amores. "Simon says some mean things, but it's hysterical." Whether fans are watching in a small group or having a blow-out party, there are many ways to make a season premiere party worthy of even Simon. Bill Maxson, assistant manager at Factory Card and Party Outlet in the Butler Central Plaza on Archer, said "American Idol" parties generally include karaoke, food and inflatable microphones. "Typically, parties like that are a last-second thing," he said. "They are planned the day before or the day of." Should this be the case, grab some "American Idol"-themed flatware, assorted novelties like wigs, vests and boas, and tons of music guests can sing along to. Have some guests act as judges and ask one to "host" the show. For the full effect, choose people who may resemble Paula, Randy and Simon - if not in looks, then definitely in attitude. Buy some key chains or other small gifts for the winners of your contest. Other impromptu ideas include watching "American Idol - The Best and Worst of American Idol," which includes scenes and songs from the first four seasons, or listening to music from previous winners like Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson (and even losers, such as William Hung, who sang the now infamous version of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" in season three). The American Idol All-Star Challenge DVD Game, produced by the same company who makes Scene It?, is a great idea for "A.I." buffs who claim to know more about the show than anyone else in the room. The game, which includes more than 1,000 clips and images from previous seasons, is intended for two to four players or larger teams. It's packed with trivia, singing obstacles and tons of clips for players to enjoy. Center Stage Costumes and Magic Web master Jennifer Cain said the most popular party idea she has heard people discuss is the video game "Karaoke Revolution" for Xbox and Play Station 2. The video game allows singers to choose from eight characters, each with up to four costumes. As you sing, you are scored based on the pitch and rhythm of your voice, and scoring ranges from Lousy to Expert. "It's really great," said Cain, who admits having belted a few tunes with the video game herself. "You get a microphone, and you go with it. It's definitely something I think is a good idea - it's really fun." Courtesy of www.partyfood.suite101.com, American Idol fans can enjoy Simon Cowell Crab Cakes and Paula Coladas. The Cowell crab cakes have "a crispy exterior, but are warm and soft inside" ... just like Simon himself. Serve them with a dipping sauce that has a bit of a bite. SIMON COWELL CRAB CAKES 2 lbs lump crabmeat 2 cups fine, fresh bread crumbs 3 eggs 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tbsp lemon or lime juice 1 tsp dry mustard powder 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley butter or vegetable oil for frying Pick over crab meat and remove any bits of cartilage. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except crab and oil; mix well. Add crab meat and mix gently but thoroughly. Shape crab mixture into 12 patties, each about 3/4 of an inch thick. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Fry the crab cakes in small batches in the heated oil until cooked through and crispy; about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and transfer the crab cakes to a warm oven (about 200 F) until ready to serve. Serve with lemon or lime wedges and dipping sauce of your choice. The recipe makes 12 crab cakes. The Paula Coladas are "like a dessert in a glass, but you can skip the ice cream for a more authentic Pina Colada." The recipe makes one drink. PAULA COLADAS 1 oz white rum 1/2 oz coconut rum small handful fresh pineapple chunks small scoop vanilla ice cream Combine ingredients in a blender with 1 cup crushed ice; blend until frozen. Add more ice or pineapple juice until you reach your desired consistency. Serve with a pineapple chunk for a garnish. » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss paula on tv 1/16 Paula's all over television January 16th.

Fox has announced Abdul's "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" music video will premiere during the network's pregame coverage of Super Bowl XLII on Sunday, February 3, USA Today reported Monday. The song is the first single to be released off Abdul's upcoming "Abdulmatic" album -- which is produced by fellow Idol judge Randy Jackson, whom USA Today reported will also appear during the pregame show with Abdul. Abdul's representative confirmed reports last week that Abdul was in talks to perform as part of Fox's coverage of Super Bowl XLII. While Fox has yet to announce if the Idol judge will in fact sing, Fox Sports Chairman David Hill told USA Today that he's trying to "meld two television icons" by seemingly doubling the Super Bowl telecast as one giant Idol promotion. Fox tapped Idol host Ryan Seacrest to serve as the master of ceremonies for Super Bowl XLII at Arizona's University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ -- which is the hometown of Idol sixth-season champ Jordin Sparks, who will sing the national anthem prior to the game. "I wish [Idol judge] Simon Cowell had called and said he's doing, say, an audio book of poetry. Simon reading William Wordsworth. It'd probably sell," Hill joked to USA Today. Super Bowl XLII will be Fox's first Super Bowl broadcast in three years (the game rotates annually among Fox, CBS, and NBC, the NFL's three broadcast network partners), and while Hill was the first to acknowledge Fox could be "overboard on entertainment," according to USA Today, he quickly added that it will be all about football following the kickoff. "No personalities in the booth," he told USA Today. "I disagree with that totally -- 200%." » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss January 11, 2008 paula abdul performing at super bowl? (FROM TV GUIDE) – TVGuide.com's Michael Ausiello reports that Paula Abdul is in talks to perform live in Fox's Super Bowl telecast on Feb. 3. (Fox would not confirm.) The network already announced that Tom Petty is headlining the halftime show, but it also added that other guests could be added as the date nears. Ausiello reports that a source said Abdul is rehearsing a music video for a duet with fellow American Idol judge Randy Jackson, which will be the first single off Jackson's upcoming album, Music Club Vol. 1, and that if she does agree to perform at the Super Bowl, Abdul would likely incorporate choreography from that video in her Super Bowl act. » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss paula to perform live at super bowl (MyFoxNY.com)--"American Idol" judge and former pop star Paula Abdul is in talks to perform during FOX's Super Bowl XLII telecast, reports Michael Ausiello on TVGuide.com. She is already in rehearsals for the video to her duet with Randy Jackson, the first single from his upcoming Music Club Vol. 1 CD, a source close to Abdul's inner circle tells Ausiello. If the Super Bowl deal goes through, she would likely use the same choreography during her Feb. 3 Astroturf comeback. Tom Petty will be headlining the halftime show, the network announced last month. More artists may be added in the coming weeks. Abdul hasn't released an album of new material since 1995's "Head Over Heels." » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss January 10, 2008 paula abdul game for super bowl (E!)--Paula Abdul has her own touchdown in the works. The American Idol judge is in talks to perform live during Super Bowl XLII next month in Arizona, her rep confirmed to E! News Thursday. There's no word yet on whether Abdul's contribution to the festivities would be before or during the game, taking place Feb. 3 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, but if her latest project is any indication, she already has some showtime-worthy moves ready to go. According to tvguide.com, which first reported the possible gig, the former Laker Girl is already in rehearsals for the music video for a duet between her and Randy Jackson, which will also be the first single off of Jackson's upcoming guest-heavy album, Music Club Vol. 1. A source said that if the '90s-era pop superstar inks the Super Bowl deal, she'll likely incorporate the same choreography into her act. Abdul has spent so much time in recent years being the balm for Simon's burns, it's easy to forget she was once a "Straight Up" singer. Or, actually, a Grammy-winning artist who has sold more than 50 million records. Her last studio album was 1995's Head Over Heels, which sold 1.5 million copies but didn't make nearly as many people swoon as 1988's Forever Your Girl, which was certified platinum seven times over. If she heads to Arizona next month, Abdul would join a lineup that includes halftime-show headliner Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Mary J. Blige and Maroon 5, who will be part of the NFL Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Concert Series leading up to the big day. More artists are expected to be added in coming weeks. Abdul won't want for familiar faces, either. Ryan Seacrest will be interviewing some of the more high-profile football fans attendance in a specially set-up red carpet area during Fox's pregame show, and season-six American Idol champ Jordin Sparks, who's from Glendale, has been tapped to sing the national anthem. » Posted by Igor at 12:00 AM | Discuss January 9, 2008 paula abdul has 'insane nervous breakdown' at lax (FOXNEWS.COM)--"American Idol" judge Paula Abdul "had an insane nervous breakdown" at Los Angeles International Airport over the holidays, according to a report on radaronline.com.

"I have a strength I didn't know I had. It's a live program, and a naughty British man is constantly making people think there's something weird in my Coca-Cola cup," Abdul told Ladies' Home Journal. "But I'm proud of myself. I always figure out a way to swim." She also said it has been interesting to see how "Idol" contestants and winners deal with their overnight success. "Our performers think they're going to manage, but the reality is they're not," she said. "It can be a letdown even when you advance, because success is never what you expect. I just hope they have loving friends and family if they have to go back to their jobs at Burger King." As for her personal life, Abdul described her relationship with her new boyfriend, restaurateur J.T. Torregiani, as "a good thing."
