Paula Abdul quits American Idol

[Aragorn]

^ Well, in comparison to her peers, yeah, that's more of a slap in the face. Look at what Simon's getting. I can sum up all of his judgments in 5 different phrases!

Where's she going to get that kind of money now? Her singing career is over. It's like when Juliana Marguilles and Eriq La Salle left ER despite $1 million per episode sitting there on the table, and they had no outside projects lined up.

Actually, it's more like when a star athlete overvalues how much he thinks he's worth to the team he's on, and when he doesn't get the amount that's in his head, he plays the "disrespect" card and signs for much less with another team because NO ONE is giving him what he thinks he's worth.

Worked for the Futurama crew when they played hardball.

^ yeah, but still... 4 million dollars! I don't care what Paula's going rate is these days, that's a lot of money.

To both of you;

I agree. If it were me, I'd take it in a heartbeat! Then I'd run around the room screaming "woohoo woohoo!" and do an Irish jig at the end. I'm just trying to think of reasons why she would say no to 4 million dollars.

Not for nothing, but I'm sure there are people in 3rd world countries that would pay for a 5 dollar an hour McDonalds job. It's all relative, isn't it?

I heard she was offered a 30% raise but hated that ryan gor $15 million a year. He is the super lame ass host, Paula is just a drunk.

ABC, supposedly, has offered Paula a job on Dancing with the Stars.

Everyone on Earth has offered her a job.
