Singer, TV judge, ex-Mrs. Emilio Estevez.
Was a cheerleader for the L.A. Lakers, became a choreographer for music videos, became a singer, and starred opposite an animated cat in a music video.
Had a bunch of hit songs, married Emilio Estevez, disappeared into obscurity – never to be heard from again.
Was rescued from obscurity by “American Idol” in 2002, served as a judge opposite Simon Cowell until 2010, left the show due to a salary dispute.
No one really noticed or cared.
Re-teamed with Simon Cowell for "The X Factor" in 2011.
De-teamed with Simon Cowell from "The X Factor” in 2012 when she got the ax.
Remains an inspiration to young girls who dream of marrying Emilio Estevez and dancing with animated cats everywhere.
Fun Fact: She choreographed the giant keyboard dance sequence for the movie "Big."
Question: Why do you need a choreographer to teach Tom Hanks and an old man how to jump around on a giant piano keyboard? Weird.
