Becoming a Laker Girl at the age of 19, Paula Abdul is arguably one of the most famous former cheerleaders. And while her career has taken her from pop star to American Idol judge, cheerleading has remained an important part of her life. According to the biography page on her website, she “continues to honor her roots by running dance and cheerleading camps, competitions and scholarship programs throughout the country and has never, ever, forgotten her first “break” as a Los Angeles Laker Girl.”
Paula may even make her love of cheering into a television show. The National Enquirer has reported that she’s going to produce and star in reality show about cheerleading on Fox. Given the source, we don’t know if this is 100 percent true, but we’ll cross our fingers and hope that Paula gets a chance to redeem herself after “Hey Paula.”
