There’s been lots of speculation over whether or not Fox will renew Paula Abdul’s contract as co-judge on the networks popular competition series American Idol but from the sounds of it, it might not be an issue of whether or not they want her back as it is whether or not she’ll come back for the price they’re willing to pay.
TV Guide Magazine ran a small story (almost a blurb really) suggesting that the issue of Paula’s contract renewal might have something to do with the hefty raise Simon Cowell may or may not be getting. An insider apparently told TV Guide Magazine that Fox, “always wanted (Abdul) back for the duration of American Idol. It’s whether or not they can come to terms. It’s just a matter of dollars. If she’s only making two or three and Simon’s getting 10, is that fair? No.”
Hey, we all want more money, right? And when the rumors start flying that the guy in the cubicle next to you is getting a raise and you’re up for a performance review, it’s understandable that you might considering asking for more money too. The question is, in Abdul’s case, is Fox willing to give her however much she wants or will Idol be short one judge come January?
