Hey Paula is Coming to Bravo on June 28th

Did you think Paula Abdul was just an American Idol hack? Wrong. Her name conjures up shoulder pads, scrunchies and the big hair of the eighties. You can see all three in the Rush Rush video with a very young, wet-behind-the-ears Keanu Reeves.

Then witness her performance singing her hit, straight Up, in 1988.


Watching it you are reminded that our Ms. Paula was The Jackson family's choreographer, and that her dance moves were revolutionary for the era. Simon Cowell might make fun of her on American Idol, and her voice might be weak, but there's surprising heft behind that sweet personality.

Can't get enough of Paula? Watch her on Here's Paula on Bravo on Thursday from 10:00 - 10:30 EST.
