Paula Abdul: From Idol to Dance

Anderson Cooper talks to Paula Abdul about her passion for dance and her time on "American Idol. "Unless you haven't been keeping track of television for the last couple of days, you probably already know that Paula Abdul debuted her brand-new CBS dance competition show, 'Live to Dance,' this past Tuesday. For Abdul, the new show brings her career full circle. Before she became a recording artist and 'American Idol' judge, she was a dancer and choreographer who had worked with acts such as Duran Duran, ZZ Top and Janet Jackson.

More importantly, 'Live to Dance' -- for which Abdul serves as the executive producer -- was an opportunity for her to get back into television production work. She specifically credits director and producer James L. Brooks ('The Simpsons,' 'Terms of Endearment'), who brought her to his then-new TV series, 'The Tracey Ullman Show,' in the late '80s.
