Last week Ryan Seacrest raised a few eyebrows when he signed a 45 million dollar deal to host American Idol for the next 3 seasons. Obviously one of those eyebrows belonged to a Miss Paula Abdul.Her manager David Sonenberg is playing tough, and probably made a few network execs squirm this weekend when he told the Los Angeles Times, "Very sadly, it
does not appear she's going to be back on Idol." The story behind Sonenberg's comments, RadarOnline.com has learned from sources close to the situation, is that the former Laker Girl and hit recording star is demanding $20 million and the other side has floated the idea of $10 million. And while Paula has regularly renegotiated her contract with dire threats of not returning, Sonenberg is talking tough and hasn't given anyone on the network side reason to believe he's bluffing.
Ummmm... didn't anyone tell Paula's manager that they replaced her with a younger better looking woman last season? Her camp might want to rethink their negotiating tactics. I'd counter offer with minimum wage plus tips, a Chikezie bobble head and all the coca-cola she can drink.
