Paula Abdul’s Reason for Leaving American Idol
Posted in American Idol, Paula Abdul on the August 12, 2009
According to Life & Style, Paula Abdul turned down $8 million to return to the judges’ table on American Idol. An inside source said “Paula had demanded a raise from $8 million to $12 million to stay on as a judge on Idol. And her management took a tough line with the show’s bosses and refused to negotiate. Paula’s managers issued a statement in July saying Paula hadn’t been offered a deal at all, which only inflamed the situation. After that, the relations between both sides deteriorated to the point where Paula’s management was slamming the phone down on Idol staff.” Paula was said to be shocked that she didn’t get her way and hurt because her friends Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest were given huge contracts.
Drake Up and Running Again
Posted in Concert, Lil Wayne, World Tour on the August 12, 2009
Only a few days after collapsing on stage due to his knee injury, a concertgoer blabbed about rapper and singer Drake taking the stage with Lil Wayne during their Toronto concert. I hope that he was actually well enough to perform and not just pushing himself harder. Apparently, his doctor’s already advised him to not participate in the tour when he first injured his knee but he still went anyway. But then again, how could he not perform in his beloved Canada? He is a ‘Degrassi’ alum after all. I’m even willing to bet that a huge part of the audience knew him from that show.
