Paula Abdul is finally returning to television, hosting her own daily chat fest on Oprah's new OWN network.

The format will be "Oprah Inspired" according to the National Enquirer, with a mix of celebrity guests and real life stories.

When asked if this new project meant she wouldn't be able to judge the X Factor, which was rumored to be her first post-Idol gig, Paula responded, "Of course not. If Ellen Degeneres can do it…so can I!"

Is Paula trying to out Ellen Ellen?
