For those reality fans that are missing Paula Abdul, you may be in luck. Entertainment Weekly reports that the singer maybe the next host of a new version of “Star Search.”

ABC is bringing back an updated version of the 80′s reality competition show and they want Abdul to be the face. ABC has been pushing Paula to come to the network for a while, offering her a gig on “Dancing with the Stars,” which she rejected.

“Star Search” is a fairly significant show which ran from 1983 to 1995 hosted by Ed McMahon. The show launched the careers of many notable people including Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

It first got Patrick Swayze, and now Ed McMahon is the latest star to get hit with pneumonia.

According to E! News, the 85-year-old former Johnny Carson sidekick has been in the hospital for several weeks.

This is just one example of a slew of bad luck that McMahon has experienced in recent months, including bank debts, a home foreclosure, a process server-biting dog and a broken neck, which he blames for his financial woes.

His rep Howard Bragman says that his family is constantly at his side.

Although Ed McMahon may have recent money troubles, the 85-year-old TV icon is hoping to gain some financial income by suing people connected in one way or another to the 2007 fall that resulted in his broken neck, reports E! News.

In the lawsuit that McMahon filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, McMahon is charging Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; the hospital’s attending ER physician when he was first admitted; the orthopedic surgeon who oversaw his spinal care; and billionaire investor Robert Day —the owner of the home where he fell down.

McMahon claims that he fell face down “while attempting to climb unsafe entry stairs” at Day’s Bel-Air estate back in March 2007, and that the star was unable to break his fall “as he futilely reached for nonexistent handrails,” resulting in his injury.

The complaint doesn’t specify the amount of damages McMahon is seeking.
