Is Paula Abdul Out for Revenge?

They say living well is the best revenge, but for Paula Abdul that might not be enough.

Abdul, whose in-demand status since her exit from American Idol must be leaving Idol execs with some regrets, is reportly on a mission to destroy the popular reality competition show.

Of the new show she planning to headline in Las Vegas, a source tells the National Enquirer (so, yeah, a grain of salt is probably called for): “Paula believes she’s got the draw of a Cher or Bette Midler and she’s determined to rub the noses of the Idol bosses in her success. If this thing takes off, Paula wants to spin off a TV version. Her fantasy is to go up in the same time slot as American Idol – and to destroy them.”

Paula Abdul taking on Simon Cowell one-on-one? We hope there's a cage involved.
