Movies They'd Like To Forget: Junior High School



Before she made a splash as a choreographer and singer, Paula Abdul made a little film with other unknown Van Nuys High School students- Junior High School.

Trotted out whenever a "Before They Were Stars" segment is produced, the no-budget film features an oddly uncoordinated Paula stomping around and tunelessly singing songs that American Idol would reject. For 40 minutes, Ms. Abdul and friends teach us important lessons like what to do if a particular young man happened to kiss you. (Apparently the answer is "die". Metaphorically speaking, perhaps?) Hunt around on the internet long enough and you'll happen upon a Blu-Ray release, complete with a limited edition soundtrack. It's the package Paula Abdul doesn't want you to see!
