American Idol judge Paula Abdul is joining Dancing with the Stars next season - as a contestant!
"Paula is very excited to be on board," a source close to Paula exclusively told RADAR.
The 46-year old pop singer is reportedly uncertain about her future with American Idol after an obsessed fan committed suicide in front of her home, and Paula has been publicly "shopping around" for another prime time TV project.
Season 8 of Dancing with the Stars begins in March.
