PAULA ABDUL

According to the National Enquirer, the former Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader is in negotiations with executives at several Sin City casinos to headline a stage show that would open late next year (09).

A source tells the tabloid, "Paula has no idea what could happen when her contract with Idol ends after next season. It's possible she'll strike a deal and stay with the show, but she's not depending on that. She's secretly putting together an exit strategy.

"It will be very state-of-the-art with a number of stage props, such as water, lighting and pyrotechnics."
