Dancer, singer, and former American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, wants to have her own talk show! “I definitely want to do a talk show because it would be different,” Paula tells TV Guide.

“I’d be Paula…It would be a lot of fun variety with a ton of unexpected stuff and tributes to everyday people getting their big chance.”

Walking away from American Idol was tough for Paula, who helped build the show from the beginning into eight seasons of success.  She says, “You know, to say ‘no regrets’ isn’t easy.  I feel like I have been such a big, huge part of the success of the show from day one. I loved being able to be the artist’s artist; being there from my point of view of knowing what it feels like to be vulnerable and to be out there wanting to achieve the most magical moment in a minute and thirty seconds. To be able to do that was an amazing experience and the show was wonderful for me in that regard…I had some really unforgettable moments that hit plateaus for me, and I’m very blessed to have been a part of what made television history.”

But Paula says that life after Idol “has been incredible. I feel like I’m having the best time of my life right now.”

We will miss crazy Paula on season 9 of American Idol, which starts in January 2010, but we think it would be awesome to watch her on her own talk show!  She wouldn’t even need guests…she could just talk to the audience and make up words!
