Paula Abdul Confirms That She's Leaving American Idol
BuzzSugar — ... FOX has confirmed that Paula will be leaving the show, stating, "Paula Abdul has been an important part of the American Idol family over the last eight seasons and we are saddened that she has decided not to return to the show. While Paula will not be continuing with us, she's a tremendous talent and we wish her the best." Most of you ...

Paula Abdul leaving Idol (UPDATED)
American Idol — ... Wow. I didn’t see that coming. I thought all that bemoaning about “Idol” not treating her well was a negotiating ploy. And back in July, she seemed fairly optimistic things would work out. But perhaps she really couldn’t get the money she wanted and felt deeply hurt she wasn’t being compensated what she felt she deserved. The LA Times says she was getting paid $2 to $4 million a year and wanted a big raise. “Idol” was willing only to go to the $5 million range. (Ryan Seacrest doubled his annual pay to $10 million a year, plus $5 million ...

(Abdul claimed at one point that she had not been offered a contract, but more recent reports like this one from the L.A. Times tindicate there was an offer, just not one she wanted.) ...

Fox went the traditional route and issued a statement: "Paula Abdul has been an important part of the 'American Idol' family over the last eight seasons and we are saddened that she has decided not to return to the show. While Paula will not be continuing with us, she's a tremendous talent and we wish her the best." I've ...

Who Should Replace Paula? (Not That We Want Anyone To.)
Television Without Pity - All Blogs — Paula Abdul demanded Seacrest money and ended up unemployed. Happens all the time. It sucks that we're stuck with Randy and Kara, but at least we don't have to listen to Paula's incoherent non-opinions anymore. This, really, is going to be great for the show. We'd much prefer they didn't try to cast a fourth judge in her absence, as three people saying things while we all wait for the comments that actually matter -- Simon's -- took way too long every episode last season, who the hell knows what they'll do? Idol producers aren't that smart. In case ...
