After doing her thing on American Idol, Paula Abdul stepped out to enjoy an evening with her pals at Koi restaurant in West Hollywood, CA last night (March 10).

Shortly after her Japanese dinner, Paula headed back to her Sherman Oaks, CA house, the one she moved out of last November when a crazed fan commited suicide outside the front gates.

She and her dogs had moved into the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. But now she’s back, her rep confirms.
