Abdul: 'I want to do a talkshow'

Former American Idol judge Paula Abdul has revealed that she wants to launch her own talkshow.

The 47-year-old admitted that discussions have already begun about the format the programme may take.

"I definitely want to do a talkshow because it would be different. I'd be Paula... It would be a lot of fun variety with a ton of unexpected stuff and tributes to everyday people getting their big chance," she told TV Guide.

Speaking about her Idol exit, the ex-popstar said that she will miss her fellow judges and admitted that being part of the reality show was an "amazing experience".

"I feel like I have been such a big, huge part of the success of the show from day one," she said. "I loved being able to be the artist's artist; being there from my point of view of knowing what it feels like to be vulnerable and to be out there wanting to achieve the most magical moment in a minute and 30 seconds.

"To be able to do that was an amazing experience and the show was wonderful for me in that regard. I'm going to miss the experience of watching young talent evolve into a place where they get to take off and soar."

She added: "I had some really unforgettable moments that hit plateaus for me, and I'm very blessed to have been a part of what made television history."
