Paula Abdul Is the Woman of the Year?

Posted Oct 10th 2006 12:35PM by TMZ Staff

Taylor Hicks may be an "American Idol," but, apparently, Paula Abdul is Nevada's!

The former Laker Girl, choreographer and "A.I." judge has been named the Nevada Ballet Theater's 2007 "Woman of the Year."

The illustrious award honors luminaries of the stage and screen who have a special connection to dance and musical theater. Bickering with Simon Cowell is a plus.

Past "Woman of the Year' recipients include Megawatt A-list Hollywood super-duper stars like Rita Rudner, Chita Rivera and Carol Channing.

A rep for the Theater said Paula's "warm personality and talent have touched every aspect of the arts and entertainment world. Paula exemplifies the qualities we look for in an honoree."

We couldn't agree more. I mean, who doesn't admire glazed looks, incoherent outbursts and canoodling with contestants?!

Ms. Abdul, and all her fabulous womanhood, will be feted at the Ballet's annual Black and White Ball on January 27 at the Wynn Las Vegas.

46. Isn't the Woman of the Year nvolved with great social causes, like going to Africa, adopting foreign children, supplying donations, raising charity fuynds, coming out of rehab, etc.? (ala Anglina Jolie, , Madonna, Bono and other "American Haters") All this woman has is a singing careere that is over, an obvious mental/drug problem, and a hit show due to the contrversial Simon Cowell. What qualifies her for woman of the year, I ask?
