Paula Abdul may no longer be "Forever Your Girl" on American Idol, but her new endorsement for the eco-friendly G2 Golf Stretch Mat may help you and others with back problems sit "Straight Up."

Most people know Paula Abdul as the 80’s pop icon who sang and danced with MC Skat Kat in her hit "Opposites Attract" video, or as the wacky and often disheveled judge on American Idol. But now that she was denied the $20 million annual salary she requested for American Idol, she has to find something else to support. Hence, she has returned to her celebrity endorsement roots.

Remember when she promoted Reebok:

And Diet Coke:

Well, now she’s gung-ho about the G2 Fitness 100% recyclable golf mat:

This mat is available in grey and blue for men, or pink and green for women. It’s also bacteria resistant, washable and has a non-slip surface.

Don’t get me wrong, I rocked Paula’s "Forever Your Girl" tape every day in middle school. I even supported her when she chose Theodore "Ted" Logan (aka Keanu Reeves) to be in her "Rush Rush" video. But she’s kind of hit a few branches on the crazy tree since her comeback with American Idol.

Still, I have high hopes for Paula’s attempt to go green, and if she gets back to dancing and working out, maybe her and former trainer Billy Blanks can create their own Tae Bo/Yoga/Cheerleading Bootcamp!

Cold hearted snakes need not apply (that means you Simon Cowell).
