American Idol season 343 auditions have already started, and Paula Abdul isn't at them, so I'm really hoping this story can come to a close soon. But since it hasn't, here's the latest according to TMZ:
Sources close to Paula Abdul say even though "Dancing with the Stars" ain't gonna happen, she's still talking to ABC about a show of her very own.
As we first reported, Paula met with ABC honcho Steve McPherson earlier this week and now we're told one of the cards on the table is a possible variety show. And we're told they also discussed a talent competition with Paula in the Simon Cowell seat. Sources say Paula also talked about her desire to become the executive producer.
And there's this little tidbit. We're told Paula's feelings about being "disrespected" by "Idol" execs is more intense than ever after learning Victoria Beckham pulled in a fortune -- reportedly $275,000 an episode.

Here's a better idea. Someone give Paula her apron and roller skates so I can get my damn ice cream cone. We all know that's where this is ultimately going, or at least I hope so. A show of her Paula's very own would officially put me over the edge, and I might do something crazy like attack a nest of baby rabbits. So please, for the sake of baby rabbits, don't let that happen.
