Paula Abdul makes her  dramatic acting debut in "In the Shadow of Evil", an ABC movie (Jan. 12) about a woman who reclaims her life after being raped.

"I worked hard to  convince the network that I could play a serious role because in everyone's  mind I'm the pop princess," says Abdul, 34. "But I'm used to that. I've gone from 'She's a Laker girl; she can't be a choreographer' to 'She's a  choreographer; she can't be a singer' to 'She's a singer, not an actress.'"

Currently, Abdul's recording a dance album and adjusting to her new  marriage to clothing designer Brad Beckerman.

"We're totally in love," she says, "but we both have our moods, so we're learning to give each other space when we're crabby."

Keeping Abdul's four dogs out of their bed isn't easy, either. "Brad's one rule," she says, "is no exposed dog butt on the pillows."
