New Pics: Paula Abdul: Here Comes 'da Judge

Aug 31, 2009

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.
