Paula Abdul is remaining in primetime. At least for one night.

While she may still participate on Dancing with the Stars and she may even return to American Idol, the former judge has lined up her next gig.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Paula will guest star on a fall episode of Ugly Betty. If the deal goes through, sources say she'll play a new temp that gets close with Becki Newton’s Amanda.

Think this is a good career move? Is Ugly Betty wacky enough to keep up with Abdul's antics?

** UPDATE: ABC has confirmed that Abdul will actually NOT appear on Ugly Betty. That's too bad.
