 Is Simon Cowell really Paula Abdul’s American Idol saviour? It looked like Abdul was going to going to be sent to the reality TV scrap heap, after failing to agree a new deal with the show’s bosses. Her fate seemed sealed when her manager laid into Idol producers, saying, “Very sadly, it does not appear that she’s going to be back on Idol. I find it, under these circumstances, particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful. “I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do.” All this because they wouldn’t double her salary to $20 million – so say the gossips. Fans on Twitter got wind of the story and used the site to launch a campaign to save Abdul and convince Fox TV executives to keep their favorite judge in place. And it looks like it’s worked. Cowell – Abdul’s nemesis on the show — has actually stepped up and backed her up, insisting “She’ll be fine. She’ll be on the show. I don’t get a lot of say. I’ve just made it clear that I want Paula on the show.” Then again… this could all be one big publicity stunt. |
