Paula Abdul is celebrating her 63rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer-dancer Paula Abdul (Rush Rush, Opposites Attract, Cold Hearted, Straight Up, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 63rd birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Abdul, a cultural icon

Born Paula Julie Abdul in San Fernando on June 19, 1962, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Abdul's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Paula hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Paula Abdul as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 63.

Happy Birthday, Paula, you're the best!
