Paula Abdul will guest star as a fictionalized version of herself on Lifetime’s upcoming dramatic series, Drop Dead Diva.

Next week, Paula will film her role as a court judge in one episode of the series, which stars Brooke Elliott as a former stick-thin model who dies and wakes up in the body of a plus-sized attorney named Jane.

Drop Dead Diva premieres Sunday July 12 at 9 PM and will also feature appearances by comediennes Margaret Cho and Rosie O’Donnell during its inaugural season.
