Paula Abdul returns to the medium that made her both a household name and a running joke this week: reality television. The former American Idol judge will take on a similar role on Live to Dance , which premieres tomorrow night on CBS. In preparation for the series, Abdul spoke to Julie Chen yesterday and aimed to correct her image. “I am intelligent,” Abdul said, smiling. “Having a brain, that’s a concept, yes, with Paula Abdul.

Even though I’ve been in this business for quite some time, I’ve never physically been drunk in my life. I’ve never been drunk in my life. I don’t use recreational drugs.”
