Want to look like Paula Abdul? Well,
Idol's nicest judge tells PEOPLE that one of her fitness secrets involves dancing. "I live a clean, healthy life," she says. "I always have. I don't drink, I don't do drugs. I laugh, I dance. Dancing keeps me fit." It's no surprise – the former Laker girl choreographed music videos for Janet Jackson, Prince, George Michael, Duran Duran and others.
What else keeps Abdul in good spirits? "You have to cherish good friends and lots of laughter," she says. And Abdul specifies: "Laughter is like everything and the more pee-in-your-pants laughter, the better." Would "frenemy" Simon Cowell concur?
