Paula Abdul: I Want to Dance With the Stars!

OK! Magazine - New York, NY, USA - As if being a judge on American Idol isn't enough for singer (and dancer, and choreographer) Paula Abdul, she now tells OK! that there’s a possibility she might be crossing to the other side of the table to compete on the next season of Dancing With the Stars!

“I’m just hypothetically thinking about it,” Paula revealed to OK! after sitting in on Monday's taping of the hit ABC reality competition. And, despite being on a competing network (Idol airs on Fox), she claims there would be no conflict with her show. “There’s a thing called the ‘off-season,’ I think.”

Last month, DWTS host Tom Bergeron spilled the beans that Paula wanted to do his reality series, too. And now, the "Straight Up" singer can’t stop talking about it.

“It’s all Tom’s fault!” she joked, adding, “I’m a huge fan [of DWTS]. It would be a phenomenal experience for me to be a student and to learn a form of dance that I’ve never been introduced to."

But before all the Paula fans go setting their Tivos for next season, she advises, “I’d be honored, but that does not confirm or deny anything that’s out there right now.

And though Paula first gained notoriety for choreographing dance routines for some of the biggest artists in pop, incredibly, she insists that she's never been a professional dancer. "I was always a choreographer... But I’ve never been able to be a student and I’ve never done partnering. If I even dabbled with it, I had to be the guy and that’s not fun. I want to wear the pretty dresses like the girls.”
