Paula's an idiot. She tried a negotiating ploy and it backfired. She should have been paying Fox just to be on America's highest rated show. She offered so little to the show (besides her bolt-ons) that she was lucky to be on it at all. Story is that Idol made two separate offers to her, and she responded by quitting publicly on Twitter. Seacrest got a new salary of 15 mil (which included producing other shows) and she wanted more than him. Sorry, but Seacrest's job is far more demanding than Paula's, where she just flirts with Cowell and ignores critiquing the contestants.
Sorry, I have very little pity for the undeservingly rich wanting to be richer. Regardless, I bet they'll come to "an agreement" just before the next season.
