About Paula Abdul

attending Los Angeles Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios, Culver City, CA on March 22, 2007

Paula Julie Abdul (pronounced /ˈæbduːl/; born June 19, 1962) is an American recording artist, dancer, actress and television personality.

In the 1980s, Abdul rose from cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers to highly sought-after choreographer at the height of the music video era before scoring a string of pop music-R&B hits in the late-1980s and early-1990s. Her six number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 tie her for fifth among the female solo performers who have reached #1 there. She won a Grammy for "Best Music Video - Short Form" for "Opposites Attract" and twice won the "Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography".

After her initial period of success, she suffered a series of setbacks in her professional and personal life, until she found renewed fame and success in the 2000s as a judge on the television series, American Idol, for eight years, before departing from the show. Abdul has since moved on to another television series, CBS's Live to Dance, and she is working on a new album.

Background

Abdul was born in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, the daughter of Lorraine Abdul (née Rykiss), a concert pianist who once worked as film director Billy Wilder's assistant, and Harry Abdul, a former livestock trader and owner of a sand and gravel business. Her father, a Syrian Jew, was born in Aleppo, Syria, raised in Brazil, and subsequently immigrated to the United States; Abdul's mother, also Jewish, is originally from Minnedosa, Manitoba, with ancestors from Russia and Ukraine, and Abdul derives Canadian citizenship through her. She has a sister named Wendy, who is 7 years her senior. In 1980, she graduated from Van Nuys Junior High School and was voted girl with the funniest laugh.

Abdul studied broadcasting at the California State University at Northridge. During her freshman year, she was selected from a pool of 700 candidates for the cheerleading squad of the Los Angeles Lakers NBA basketball team—the famed Laker Girls. Within three months, she became head choreographer.

Abdul was discovered by The Jacksons, after a few of the band members had watched her while attending a Los Angeles Lakers game. She was signed to do the choreography for the video to their single "Torture". "My only problem was how to tell the Jacksons how to dance," Abdul later recalled. "Imagine me telling them what routines to do. I was young, I was scared. I'm not quite sure how I got through that." The success of the choreography in the video led to Abdul's career of choreographer in music videos. It was also due to the success of the video that Abdul was chosen to be the choreographer for the Jacksons' Victory tour.

Abdul choreographed videos for several singers throughout the 1980s, including many videos for Janet Jackson during her Control era. In 1995, Abdul released a dance workout video entitled Paula Abdul's Get Up and Dance! (re-released on DVD in 2003), a fast-paced, hip-hop style workout.

	Spellbound US born pop singer-songwriter and dancer Paula Abdul, best known for her the slick videos for her series of 80s synth/funk hits, the best known of which was "Opposites Attract", in which she dances with a cartoon cat. Abdul went to California State University to study broadcasting, but when she secured a position as an LA Lakers cheerleader, and then choreographer, that put paid to her academic career. She danced on the Jackson's Victory tour in 1984, which lead to work for Janet Jackson on the "Control" video. It turned out to be a good shop window for her talents and was followed by offers from a number of bands, including ZZ Top and Duran Duran, and later film work, including The Running Man and American Beauty. She had her greatest success from her first two albums, although it took a year for her debut Forever Your Girl to get to No.1. The single "Straight Up" broke her, and commenced a run of chart topping releases including "Rush Rush" and "Opposites Attract". All the singles were backed by slick videos featuring dance routines choreographed by Abdul, the video for "Opposites Attract", with MC Skat Kat, won her a Grammy. After her third album she took a break, although she did find time to write "Spinning Around", which became a career-launching No.1 for Kylie Minogue. Abdul came back in 2002, as a judge on the American Idol TV series and then later as a reporter for Entertainment Tonight. The Biography series covered her life story in 2005. Title: Spellbound.
