Hey, Paula! Everyone’s Favorite Singer, Dancer, and Reality Show Star Turns 50!
Say what you want about Paula Abdul—and critics have said it all—but she’s got spunk! Who knew that the Laker Girl turned choreographer turned pop star turned Idol judge could reinvent herself so many times? Now she’s 50, and we’re just waiting patiently to find out what’s next! By Tom Hardej
Paula Abdul, “Opposites Attract,” 1989
Forever Your Girl had a slow start, but after more than a year, it hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts and would hold the spot for a total of 10 weeks. The album would go on to spawn four No. 1 hits, including our personal favorite, “Opposites Attract.” The video owes a lot to the appearance of the one, the only MC Skat Kat, Paula’s cartoon cat boyfriend who would go on to release his own (less successful) album the following year.
