Paula Abdul Likely Not To Return For American Idol

It appears that Paula Abdul won’t be returning for upcoming ninth season of American Idol, according to her manager.

Despite recently saying she was offered to stay on as long as the show runs, her new manager David Sonenberg says Paula isn’t happy at all.

He says…. “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 producers haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do.”

“She’s not a happy camper as a result of what’s going on. She’s hurt. She’s angry I think at this point we’re going to be considering everything, including some kind of a competition show. She has tremendous ideas for a whole variety of shows.”

This comes just after news that Ryan Seacrest signed a huge $45 million three year contract with bosses for the show last week and Simon Cowell is reportedly going to get over $140 million to stay on the show once his contract runs up in May.

Randy Jackson has also signed a contract to stay on until 2011, no word on how much he was offered. As for the newest judge Kara DioGuardi, there has been no mentions of her returning or getting any offers yet but she wants to stay on.
