THE PROMISE OF A NEW CONTRACT-


ABDUL CLEANS UP IN NEW EIGHT FIGURE DEAL.

Paula Abdul expressed in a Barbara Walter's radio interview,that she "maybe unhappy" and "under contract"- as the resident hot nut job, on the nation's top show. Fox decided to- show her the money, by double her current contract to almost $10 million bucks, for next season's American Idol,its ninth season.

This would up her, from her current fee of 5 million. This is after having to admit to herself- that there's little chance in hell- of matching top lead judge and the most hated man in America, Simon Cowell, who pulls down about $30 million annually. Fox executives concurrently agreed with Abdul that she worth the cash and "They definitely want her back." Accordingly to Walters herself- there's a "95 % chance" of renewal.

The Straight Up songstress also revealed- she felt the strange, suicidal vibe- coming from the contestant Paula GoodSpeed. The love of Arsenio Hall's life, "begged" them to not let GoodSpeed audition (back during season 5)and thought this put the crew's lives (including the backstage workers, co-judge Randy Jackson and Host Ryan Seacrest) in danger.
