Paula Abdul wants WHAT?
It never ceases to amaze me when celebrities demand more money. As if $5 to $7 million per year were not enough, Paula Abdul has demanded that she needs at least $10 million to continue her judging skills, or lack thereof, on American Idol
It all started when an Idol contestant, Paula Godspeed, committed suicide outside of Abdul’s home. I guess the emotional trauma was just a wee bit too much for Abdul, but of course, she may be able to feel a tad better for a cool couple million more added to her paycheck.
Also, since Simon makes that amount, she feels that it’s only fair that she get that amount too. I guess she’s forgetting the fact that Simon helped create the show, that Simon help cast HER into the role of one of the judges, or maybe she has forgotten the simple fact that millions would stop watching AI if Simon leaves, yet millions would probably cheer if she ’straight up’ disappeared off of the judges panel.
Surprisingly though, rumor has it that Abdul will get what she wants! I for one, don’t think she’s worth 40K a year, much less $10 million. Seems at though half the time she’s working she spends drugged up, and the other half ass kissing each and every contestant.
Ah well, looks like she’s here to stay though..at least until those drugs finally catch up with her.
Bleh. If celebrities like Ms. Abdul managed their finances wisely, they’d make do on what they made, and not ask for outrageous raises.
What’s next? A taxpayer bailout for celebs?
really/ Like what kind of work does it entail/ going on the treadmill everyday to tay in shape? It’s really a little too much, but if the advertisers want her, it’s their prerogative.
Hey, I would do it for $1 mil. It is crazy just how much some celebrities make. If I had only a fraction of that, I could live the rest of my life comfortable.
