Paula Abdul may have landed a sweet deal with ABC, but the cash hinges on her appearance on a certain show as well as alongside Simon Cowell.
Paula Abdul may be spending more time with American Idol co-star Simon Cowell – only this time, on a different channel.
TMZ.com reported that ABC has offered Abdul a development deal of $1,000,000 that would pair her with Cowell for The X Factor, one of his ongoing projects.
To push the deal through, however, Abdul would have to appear on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars. And according to TMZ.com, she needs to decide rather quickly, since the next Stars season begins in March 2010. ABC representatives have declined comment so far.
This new development relates to online speculation in August 2009 that Abdul was in talks to join the judges panel of So You Think You Can Dance? That long-term gig never came to pass, and this Dancing With The Stars package may suffer the same fate.
No matter what happens, though, Abdul won’t be ignored by the spotlight. Aside from her star power, which began in the 1980s, she continues to look spectacular. But given her age of 47 in such a high profile profession, there’s fair logic in wondering if she has maintained her looks with any plastic surgery. Current online photos of Abdul – and there are many – show a smooth, fresh face, nearly glowing with youth. For older women who want this look, Botox can help.
“I believe that Paula still looks great and is aging very well,” plastic surgeon Dr. Sherrell Aston told MakeMeHeal.com. “I suspect that she has had regular Botox and fillers like Restylane or Juvederm to maintain her looks. It is also possible that she has recently undergone a brow lift as her upper face looks raised and wrinkle free. Ms. Abdul also maintains a healthy weight and exercise regimen, which is beneficial to staying and looking young.”
A spot of cosmetic touching up appears likely in Abdul’s case; that’s hardly a crime, given the results. And if she says yes to ABC, viewers are likely to see a lot more of her – alongside Simon Cowell, just like old times.
