My favorite female judge on American Idol, Paula Abdul, is looking for love again.

She split up with restaurant owner J.T. Torregiani last summer and says that she’s now ready to go back on the hunt for a new man.

She also adds that she doesn’t necessarily need that piece of paper to have a valid long-lasting relationship.

She says, “I tried marriage and it didn’t work too well for me, but I would very much like to find a soulmate.  I look at couples like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell and see what I would like to have; a beautiful lasting relationship that doesn’t require a piece of paper.  I’d love to have children with that soulmate.  Adoption is definitely an option.”

Hey, I’ve got an idea!  Why don’t you offer to take a few of OctoMom’s kids.  There’s an idea!  Then we can pester Angelina Jolie to adopt a few of the others.  Drew Barrymore can adopt one so she’ll settle down a bit.  If I think hard enough I could get all of her 14 kids adopted out.
