It appears Paula Abdul could soon be headed to "Dancing with the Stars."

ABC has offered the former "American Idol" judge a development deal worth a reported $1 million -- a deal that's contingent on Abdul appearing on the network's celebreality hit, according to TMZ.

The network has long sought Abdul for "Dancing.

The ex-"Idol" and former pop music star launched her career as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers.

There has been speculation that Abdul would appear as a contestant on DWTS or as a fourth judge. A rep for ABC declined to comment on potential casting moves.

PhotABC's proposal would allow the 47-year-old Abdul to appear on "The X Factor," Simon Cowell's popular British reality show that Fox recently acquired the American rights to.

This is Cowell's final season -- the 9th -- on "Idol" and first without Abdul.

The 10th season of "Dancing with the Stars begins in March.

Paula would totally fit with Dancing with the Stars.

She talks long and annoyingly just like the rest of the judges.

Don't get me wrong, I loved her with my whole heart back in the early 90's... but she's really gotta get those drugs under control!
