NEW YORK - June 25, 2007 - The new series "Hey Paula" kicks off Bravo's third night of original programming on Thursday, June 28, with back-to-back episodes from 10-10:30PM ET/PT and 10:30-11PM. The 30-minute docu-drama provides a behind-the-scenes look at the life of pop icon Paula Abdul as she juggles her roles as co-host of "American Idol," jewelry designer, entrepreneur, manages "Team Abdul" and her unruly brood of Chihuahuas -- all the while, in the public eye and the headlines.

In the first episode, a whirlwind 48 hours lies ahead for the star and team, as Abdul gets red-carpet ready for the Grammys (while her dog "Chomps" chomps on a loaned antique ring) and then takes a red eye to Philly to appear on QVC to sell her jewelry designs. Abdul's off to NYC in the second installment of "Hey Paula" for a jam-packed week filled with events, meetings and press. The hectic schedule catches up to her, with many sleepless nights and catching the flu, her much talked about satellite media tour makes headlines.
