No wonder Paula Abdul is threatening to quit American Idol.
According to the LA Times, she only earns about 2 million a year vs Simon Cowell’s reported 36 million dollar salary.
Paula is currently in the middle of contract negotiations with Fox for another season of Idol–her current contract is up at the end of this season.
I doubt Paula will quit, but I can understand her frustration. She’s not worth as much as Simon, but she’s certainly worth more than 6% of his salary.
I wonder how much Randy Jackson is making? I’ll assume that new judge, Kara DioGuardi is making considerably less than 2 million…
Paula taped a performance of her new single “I’m Here Just For the Music” that will air on tonight’s Idol results show.
In an interview with the Ladies Home Journal due out this month, she finally admits to having a prescription drug problem. That comes on the heels of denying drug use to Cynthia McFadden in a recent Nightline interview.
Paula tells the Journal that she checked herself into a “spa” last November for detox.
