HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Paula Abdul may be looking forward to her new CBS dance show, but she hasn't forgotten her old pals on American Idol.

"I miss you guys so much," the "Straight Up" singer told Idol host Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday.

The former Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader is returning to reality TV with Live to Dance. So what can viewers expect from the dance competition?

"We're looking for all forms of dance and you can be any age, any style of dance, [and] any number of people or individuals can get on stage," explained Abdul. "We want people that are unique and passionate about dancing and ones that will show me something I haven't seen before."

Live to Dance premieres in January.
