" Why Paula Really Quit Idol "

Paula Abdul announced via Twitter, "with sadness in my heart, I've decided not to returned to Idol" . A friend says Paula was hurt ,confused and angry, when the producers of American Idol confirmed her departure the next day. Paula never thought it would come to this. Paula had reached a lull in her contract negotiations when she made her schocking announcement, but she didn't think producers to take it seriously.Paula was losing faith in her management team, whom she had just hired prior to negotiations, the source explains.He added that Paula treated her departure as a way of getting the producers attention---and forcing their hand.She'd sent several e-mails to producers that had gone unaswered. It was reported the Idol producers offered Paula a 30% percent raise, making her salary about $5 million a year--Paula wanted something more on a par with what Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell make. Paula wanted $25 million and couldn't understand why she wasn't getting it, says an insider.
Producer Nigel Lythgoe said he was very sad to hear Paula hadn't accepted their offer." She was essential because she was the heart of the show. It's like how I felt when Paul decided to leave "THE BEATLES"--how dare you. It's a bit like that with Paula."

American Idol will continue to have 4 judges with females guests--including Katy Perry and Victoria Beckham--early on. By the time the show airs in January, Paula's permanent replacement will be announced. For many Idol fans and contestants---Paula's departure marks the end of an era. Paula brought a sweetness to American Idol that no one can replace. Paula is also known for her unpredictable hehavior, which has made some wonder if she may wind up returning to Idol after all. There's even a rumor that this "EXIT" is really a publicity stunt. Regardless, it's a good bet she'll turn up on TV in one form or another.
There's been talk of Paula judging "So you think you can dance" , and ABC reportedly wants Paula on dancing with the stars--either as a dancer, a coach or a judge. I think she is a huge talet says ABC Enterainment Group president Stephen Mc Pherson.

My Take on this: Paula's fans will miss her over the top style. Her outfits have a lot going on, all the bells and whistles -- Paula's wacky moments :her wild dance numbers and unpredictable behavior made for great water cooler conversation .Contestants love her. She refers to contestants as her "kids" and always countered Simon's criticism with boisterous comments.Last but not least,Paula's love/hate relationship with Simon,which often turned phyical made for some of Idol's most entertaining moments. But the question remains, will she or won't she return? Stay tuned...more on the Paula Abdul saga as it becomes available.

  2. Have a great evening,Sweetie.
    The storm passed and we're all fine.Steve didn't get any more damage but they were right in the path of the storm.We had a couple of really big tornadoes in our area.I saw them on the news.They were really scary.Keep the damn things in your part of the world where they belong.

    I take it that you are living in your new home now?How is it?Do you think you'll be happy there?Does Mamie live with you?
    Since you created that house,it's imbued with your spirit.You should feel comfortable there.You will create the atmosphere that pervades it.Happy and lively or tranquil and spiritual,whatever you want it to be.A combination of all four sounds nice.
    I wish you all joy in your new home...have a good night...luv...J
