In the news: Paula Abdul makes a comeback with a brand-new single and video "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow," which appears on Randy Jackson's debut solo release Randy Jackson's Music Club, Vol. 1.

Why You Care

Because, love her or hate her, there are a few basic truths about Paula Abdul:

1.) You've gotta give respect to a woman who can act like a bumbling idiot on TV year after year - while sitting alongside Simon Cowell - and still come out swinging;

2.) It's hard not to appreciate a woman her age who is capable of solidly - and confidently - bustin' a move right alongside the youngest pop stars; and

3.) The woman can freakin' dance.

The News

About the Author

When she’s not sifting through e-mails, dropping her cell phone, or sticking another reminder Post-It on her desk, Carly also somehow finds the time to write and reflect on important (and the occasional not-so-important) feminist issues.
