Paula Abdul, Headed to CBS

Many expected Paula Abdul would be returning to the airwaves soon, but most expected it to be as a judge on Simon Cowell's new show, X Factor. Instead, Paula announced today she'll be the executive producer, as well as a judge of a new dance competition called, Got to Dance, which will air on CBS.

The show is still in the early stages of development as no audition dates have been scheduled yet, but the basis of the show is that anyone can try out; there will be no age limit, and you can either be a solo performer or part of a group.

We're curious to see how Paula's first post-idol gig goes. How about you?
