 While Paula Abdul has lived quite a charmed life in Hollywood, she hasn't always had the best luck with her homes. The singer and TV personality called Beverly Hills' Manchin home in the 90s and then moved into a dream estate in Sherman Oaks. However, things didn't turn out so perfectly for Paula once she got settled into this abode. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. California-born dancer, singer, choreographer, and professional celebrity guest judge, Paula Abdul has enjoyed a career that spanned over four decades and earns her an enviable net worth estimated to be in the range of around $30 million. Paula began her career when she was chosen as one of out of 700 candidates to become a Laker girl for the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. Only a year later, she'd be named the squad's head choreographer. A few months after that, her reputation for dance had traveled far and wide throughout the Hollywood community. That's when she was hired by the Jacksons to map out the steps to their music video torture. In the late 80s, Paula would then use her savings to record a singing demo. Virgin Records would come calling and in 1988, Paula would unleash Forever Your Girl, which would go on to become the most successful debut album in history at that time. Of course, for most of us, we tend to remember her a little bit better as the nice judge on American Idol, which she first appeared on in 2002. But not everything about Paula Abdul's life has been something out of a fairy tale, especially when it comes to the history of her homes. After living in her spectacular home located in the Beverly Hills throughout the 1990s, Paula would land what she thought was her dream home. Unfortunately, that dream would soon turn into a nightmare and leave Paula feeling like her home was cursed. But we'll get into all of that in just a moment. Hey guys, it's Kara back with another house tour here on Famous Entertainment, and in this one, we're checking out the properties of Paula Abdul.

Back in the 1990s, shortly after reaching the top of the pop music mountain with the release of Forever Your Girl, Paula Abdul picked herself up a Mediterranean villa set inside a guard-gated enclave in the Beverly Hills Post Office area, a swanky neighborhood located in the mountain between Beverly Hills and Sherman Oaks. The family-sized mansion offers very respectable seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms to go along with 7,700 square feet of space. Out front, a horseshoe driveway arches around a small postage stamp grove of palm trees behind a secure courtyard. A private entrance provides a smooth transition to the inside where a grand double-height rotunda boy with an elegantly curved stone staircase boasts a wrought iron railing. Over in the living room, a chocolate-brown floor rest beneath some notably high ceilings, alongside some floor-to-ceiling curtains that overhang some gigantic windows. Then there's that antique marble fireplace, which really ties the room together. Over in the very formal dining room, some beige stone floor tiles are offset with a decadent golden wallpaper. As for the kitchen, there's a huge island with an exotic wood countertop and gourmet state-of-the-art appliances with a roomy breakfast area that opens up to the backyard. Upstairs, guests and family rooms are found throughout and all of them feature their very own en suite. Two of the rooms even feature French doors that lead out to some balconies. Then the master suite comes with all the bells and whistles, including an oversized sitting area with its very own fireplace and a bigger terrace than anywhere else in the house. Of course, there's also a huge dressing room that a fashionista like Paul Abdul no doubt filled every acre width of hundreds of thousands of dollars in clothing. The lux en suite bath offers up white marble floors and custom vanities, as well as a deep soaking tub and separate shower. All in all, this three-acre spread includes landscape grounds out back with a tropical-planted courtyard that includes a quay pond, dining terrace with a built-in grill and swimming pool spa combo lined in white mosaic tiles. Paul Abdul would continue to live in this house until 1998. That's when she sold it to comedian and actor Tom Arnold. Eventually, Tom would sell the home as well, this time to Lincoln Park co-founder Mike Shinoda, who shelled with a cool $7.4 million for the property in 2008. After leaving Beverly Hills behind, Paula would find herself a new home in Sherman Oaks. But within a few short years, she would really wish she hadn't. Shortly after selling her home to Tom Arnold, Paula found a new home not too far away in the neighborhood of Sherman Oaks. She moved into the house in 2000 after spending a little over $1 million to acquire it. Situated on a prime quarter-acre lot, this new estate offered Paula 4,679 square feet of living space, alongside five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. In a lot of ways, it's similar to her former home, just a little bit smaller. For instance, the front door of the home opens to a way with a grand double staircase and a elaborate raw iron banister. A short distance from there is the great room that boasts hardwood floors, a row of front doors that connect to a private patio area, as well as a statement piece fireplace. Over in the kitchen, it's fully stocked with a granite countertop and enough top-of-the-line kitchen appliances to be deemed gourmet worthy. When it comes time for the evening meal, Paula's perfectly decorated formal dining room is clearly set to impress her famous friends. Upstairs, the bedrooms include a master suite with its very own fireplace, a spacious walk-in closet and private balcony with views of the surrounding canyon area. Taken as a whole, it's a pretty spectacular-looking place, right? You can see why Paula fell in love with it. Unfortunately, that love affair wouldn't last. Things started to take a turn for the worst for Paula and his property when she began shooting her short-lived reality series, Hate Paula. During that shoot, a crew member would fall and hurt her back considerably while working in Paula's home. This individual would then sue Paula, who was forced to pay close to $1 million in damages. But far worse than that was what happened when a former American Idol contestant committed suicide by odying on prescription meds while sitting in a car just outside of Paula's home. 30-year-old Paula Goodspeed was found dead in her car November 11, 2008. She had been a fan of Abdul's for a very long time and long before ever appearing on American Idol in 2006, she had begun to cross the line towards more dangerous behavior. In truth, it wasn't the first time Goodspeed had confronted Abdul. According to Paula herself, she had known of Goodspeed for a while after being contacted by her through the Paula Abdul fan club. When that didn't work, she applied to American Idol and the producers, not knowing her history with Abdul, passed her along to the audition stage. Somewhat surprisingly, it wasn't Abdul who wound up criticizing Goodspeed's performance, but Simon Cowell. When asked if she felt any guilt in regards to Goodspeed's death, Abdul told Axis Online, I went through a very rough time of feeling like she wanted my attention so much. I shed a lot of tears. It was tumultuous for me. What's more, from that point forward, Paula's life would change considerably. For the rest of the time in that house, she was followed by security and then came the copycats. When fans of Abdul's began showing up outside her now widely known home address, Abdul finally decided that it was time to move. After holding an estate sale in which she would unload an epic number of gowns, shoes, artwork and even her old Lakers cheerleading uniform, Abdul would finally sell her home and for a little under $2 million and set off for a fresh start. Where did she go? Well, that's where things get a little tricky. Considering everything that Abdul went through in her Sherman Oaks home, she's worked incredibly hard to keep her new address out of the public record. In fact, the only other place we know that she lived for sure was a penthouse in Los Angeles. Why do we know she lived there? Well, because she was evicted from the property in 2017. Sources would tell Radar online that Abdul's landlord bounced her from the rental unit while she was out on tour for the first time in nearly 25 years. As for what Paula did to deserve this treatment, well, that's not at all clear, but as far as I'm concerned, giving your dog something called apothecure borderlines on criminal offense. Reading between the lines of her report, it sounds like her neighbors were just simply tired of dealing with her. That being said, in the short amount of time that she lived here, she did give one short home tour to an Australian news outlet. After being evicted from that penthouse suite, Paula immediately found another pad, where that home is located, however, is unclear. All right, guys, that'll bring this latest house tour to a close.
