Before Paula Abdul became known as the American Idol judge most-likely to stand on her chair and clap during an AI performance, she was a woman who choreographed several films, including American Beauty, Jerry Maguire, and Big. After a lull in feature-film work for several years coinciding with her AI fame, Abdul is jumping back into the film biz with Bratz: The Movie. Yup, you heard me -- they're making a movie about a bunch of big-headed dolls who dress like hoochie mamas.

Abdul will reportedly be involved in all aspects of the production, sharing her expertise in fashion, choreography, and music, as well as her ability to discover new talent. She will also be responsible for babbling incoherently at all production meeting (no, not really, I made that up). Hey, I wonder if Bratz will become an additional sponsor during this season's American idol?
