Paula Abdul to Create Dog Fashion Line

We feel bad for poor Paula Abdul: Cut adrift from Simon, Randy, Seacrest and the rest of the "American Idol" juggernaut, with a failed reality show and a great many loopy, addled interviews out there on YouTube. Just what is an unemployed superstar to do? Well, according to many sources, Ms. Abdul will soon be combining her two greatest passions in life: dogs and fashion.

As those who watched the short-lived "Hey Paula" know, Abdul is the loving owner of four chihuahuas (Bessie Moo, Thumbelina, Tinkerbell and Tulip), and a dedicated fashionista. Now she has decided to share her designing flare -- with which she's made plenty of money selling her line of jewelery on QVC -- with four-legged beauties.

The entertainer has reportedly met with major pet-supply retailers to try to gauge the demand for her line, which would include attention-getting leashes and collars studded with crystals, according to the National Enquirer. Abdul also plans to provide for the dog owner who really wants to outfit their pooch in style; her line will include red-carpet-worthy tees, sweaters and boots.

There's talk of Abdul's own dogs starring in print and TV ads for the line. Hopefully, they love the spotlight as much as their choreographer "mom." We wish Paula all the luck in the world, and can't wait to bedeck our own dogs in her razzle-dazzle raiment!
