Ozzy Osbourne‘s daughter expanded her résumé on Wednesday night at West Hollywood nightspot The Viper Room, making her debut with renowned burlesque troupe Pussycat Dolls. A small constellation of stars was in attendance for the event, including Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria-Parker, Nigel Lythgoe, Howie Mandel and Glee‘s Mark Salling.

Variety reports that So You Think You Can Dance honcho Nigel Lythgoe is in talks with Paula Abdul to bring her on board.

Lythgoe says he brought up the matter to Abdul on Thursday, the day after she announced her resignation from her American Idol judge position, and that they will resume the negotiations this weekend.

He also added that “there’s no question” that he’s interested in adding Abdul to the show, which had its season finale on Thursday night.

“I don’t know anybody thats had her experience of being a dancer, of being a choreographer and of being a judge,” Lythgoe says.

However, Lythgoe says that he’s not necessarily considering making her a permanent addition to the judge’s panel. Rather, he’s considering other options, such as including Abdul in the show’s third-judge rotation.

Also, he’s worried that Abdul’s departure from American Idol may be reversed. The decision seemed pretty final to us!

Speak up in the comments section: Do you think Paula would be a good addition to So You Think You Can Dance?

The beloved American Idol Judge, who just announced that she would not be returning for the upcoming season of the show due to contract disputes, isn’t going to be pressed for dough.

Just two days after the announcement, some exciting things are coming through for the entertaining celeb.

Yesterday, Abdul flew to Peachtree City, Georgia, to finish shooting her upcoming cameo on the Lifetime dramedy Drop Dead Diva.

In addition, at least two mega-popular TV shows are interested in reserving a seat for the Idol judge: The View and Dancing With The Stars.

Rumor is that producers of The View would love to have Paula on board. “We love Paula,” a rep for the show tells E! “She was always welcome on the program in the past and always will be in the future.”

DWTS judge and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, who has wanted to work with Paula in the past, also has high hopes for the star to join his show as a judge.

He told reporters, “Absolutely there’s no question about that. I don’t know anyone who’s had her experience. I’ve been trying to get her since season one. I spoke to her yesterday morning. We didn’t talk about the negotiations. That’s a private issue,” he said. “We’re going to Vegas for season six this weekend and she’s coming out to meet me and we’re going to talk about what opportunities are out there.”

Now, have your say in the comments section: What show do you want to see Paula Abdul on?

Rumors that Idol judge Paula Abdul would contribute something to the dancing show have been swirling around the Internet for a while, and it seems as though the tragic passing of Michael Jackson may finally bring the shows together.

Abdul got her start as a Laker Girl, where she was discovered by the Jackson family at one of their games. She was hired as the choreographer for the Jacksons’ Victory tour, as well as many of Janet Jackson‘s music videos back in her Control days.

On Friday afternoon, SYTYCD producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe tweeted, “People please use Twitter-Power. Ask @PaulaAbdul to choreograph a Michael Jackson tribute on SYTYCD.”

An avid twitter user, Paula saw and responded, “Have your people call my people and let’s do it lol.”

Would you like to see a tribute to the King Of Pop on SYTYCD? Can Paula do it? Let us know in the comments!

The two hour season premiere of the popular dance competition will be airing on FOX tomorrow night. Everyone’s favorite judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy are back!

Let us know in the comments: Are you stoked for the new season of So You Think You Can Dance?

In fact, it seems kind of standard for Hollywood.

What is surprising is that Monk is Ryan Seacrest‘s ex. As in the Ryan Seacrest who hosts American Idol.

Maybe this friendship has something to do with the reason Lythgoe quit his gig on Idol earlier this month.

At any rate, the Brit-born/Australian-raised actress and her sugardaddy mature mentor were snapped as they flew off to Las Vegas for the weekend.

It should be mentioned that Lythgoe has a wife of 33 years.

But he and Sophie probably just had a low-key weekend playing nickel slots and staying in separate rooms. Because nothing trashy ever happens in Vegas.

Some 100,000 20-stamp sheets are being made for each of the six Idols, plus this year’s winner. If all of them go, exec producer Nigel Lythgoe tells USA Today it would net Idol Gives Back about $7 million.

At this writing, the show has yet to top last year’s $76 million fundraising effort, but Lythgoe is aiming for $100 mil.

Don’t rush out to the post office just yet. The stamps are only available online through photostamps.com or the Idol Website. Kelly is the first stamp out, followed on successive Tuesdays by the next five and, finally, the season-seven winner in May.

Make that during May sweeps, ’cause nothing in Hollywood is coincidental.
