Paula Abdul may have given up her judging job on "American Idol," but on an upcoming episode of "Drop Dead Diva," she not only plays a judge, she gets to wear the robes ... well, sort of!

"It's nice to be the only judge," Paula deadpans on her "The Dress" episode, airing Sept. 13 at 9 p.m. on Lifetime TV, and pictured here.

In the episode, Jane (Brooke Elliott) is outraged when she discovers an upscale women's boutique refuses to carry any plus-size clothing. Despite opposition from her boss (Parker played by Josh Stamberg), Jane enlists (Kate Levering) to represent her when she decides to sue them.
