Paula is currently well know as a judge on American Idol.
Paula is currently working on a new album and hopes to have the album released by the end of 2009.

Paula won a Grammy for "Best Music Video - Short Form" for "Opposites Attract" and twice won the "Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography."
An avid dancer, Paula was inspired towards a show business career by Gene Kelly in the classic film Singin' in the Rain.
Paula began taking dance lessons at the age of eight and showed a natural talent.
Paula attended Van Nuys High School, where she was a cheerleader and an honor student.
At 15, she received a scholarship to a dance camp near Palm Springs, and in 1978 appeared in a low-budget Independent musical film, Junior High School.

Marilyn's early roles were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received.
Marilyn was praised for her comedic ability in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch, and became one of Hollywood's most popular and glamorous performers.
Marilyn studied at the Actors Studio and formed Marilyn Monroe Productions.
Marilyn's dramatic performance in William Inge's Bus Stop was hailed by critics, and she won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like it Hot.
The final years of Marilyn's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with.
The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of much conjecture. Though officially classified as a "probable suicide," the possibility of an accidental overdose, as well as the possibility of homicide, have not been ruled out.
In 1999, Marilyn was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.
Marilyn's birth certificate names the father as Edward Mortenson (Norwegian), with his residence stated as "unknown".Jenson first drove in Formula One in the 2000 season, with the Williams team.

Jenson went on to win six of the first seven races of the 2009 season, equalling a record achieved by only three other drivers: Alberto Ascari, Michael Schumacher and Jim Clark.
At the Brazilian Grand Prix, Jenson amassed enough points over his rivals to secure the 2009 World Drivers' Championship, while also helping Brawn GP to secure the World Constructors' Championship in its maiden season.
Jenson is named after his father's friend and former rallycross colleague Erling Jensen from Denmark, but with an 'o' so as not to be confused with the similarly-named sportscar company.
In 1997, he became the youngest driver ever to win the European Super A Championship, and won the Aryton Senna Memorial Cup as well, precipitating a move into car racing.Peter played Carlisle Cullen in the film adaptation of Twilight.
