Paula Abdul dances, conducts surprise audition for Bond's next Oddjob at Billboard Awards

The most recent crop of Bond movies show a willingness to revisit classic characters from the spy series’ long history. After going so far as to feature Christoph Waltz as a 21st century Blofeld, scarred eye and all, the sky seems to be the limit for which figures from the spy’s past might return in films to come.

One celebrity who’s taken notice of this, as evidenced by some vicious, Oddjob-style hat-throwing at last night’s Billboard Music Awards, is Paula Abdul.

During a medley performance of her hits at the Awards, Abdul walked through a cheering crowd in a black dress and brimmed hat. Spotting Julianne Hough, instantaneously noting a likely neck upon which to demonstrate her skills, Abdul skulked up and whipped her hat like a frisbee into her target. While failing to decapitate Hough like a marble statue, the brim connects exactly where it needs to, demonstrating that the singer and former American Idol judge should not be discounted as an upcoming Bond film’s new Oddjob.
