Paula Abdul's Threat To Leave AMERICAN IDOL Might Be Ploy To Seek $20 Million a Season Salary

Paul Abdul, the controversial, but popular, judge on AMERICAN IDOL has been sounding some threats recently to leave the show. And a blog she writes has some seemingly "good bye" type message sentiments as well brewing. However, it might all be a ploy for Abdul to seek a salary raise to $20 million a year according to some rumors.

Funny thing, but when the entire cast of FRIENDS once demanded a salary increase to $5 million per year each, there were a lot of kicks and screams going around at NBC. Now Paula Abdul has decided that her sometimes erratic behavior is worth 4 times that figure. Who knew such unpredictable behavior was worthy of such a reward?
