Could Paula Abdul Be a Judge on the Upcoming US X-Factor?

The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Simon Cowell's negotiations over American Idol are heavily based on bringing his other hit show, X Factor, from England to America as well. Simon stands to make $50 million a year on Idol and an additional $50 million for X Factor if all goes well for him. The best nuggest of gossip from the article though is that Paula Abdul is rumored to possibly be one of the judges for the US version of X Factor if it does make its way here. Now that might make us tune in. Idol dropped the ball when it dropped Paula, so bringing her back as a judge on a new show is wise indeed. Or was it all a big publicity stunt to have Paula quit after she inked a deal to judge X Factor? Knowing Fremantle, probably the latter.

100 million dollars for being a major asshole and an idiot.   Sounds about right.  Only in America, or Britain come to think of it.

100 million dollars to be an asshole and make people cry?  Shit, I do that everyday for free.  I'm clearly in the wrong profession.

I read somewhere that as long as Simon Cowell is on American Idol, his contract bans him from starting the American franchise for X Factor.

Dumping Paula was the worst thing Idol did. The show will never be the same and it will definitely not be better. I cannot believe that Simon gets paid that much money, I think we are all in the wrong profession. online casino

This reminds me of something I remember from an Idol episode a season or two ago.  Simon was giving his critique of someone, and he said "You seem to have that certain something, you have an X Factor when you perform."  Then Randy, in a moment of English, interrupts with "Hey now, watch it Simon."  Anybody else remember that?
