Yesterday the whole world was talking about whether or not Paula Abdul would be returning to American Idol.
Simon Cowell has now broken his silence about the whole about the whole thing by simply saying “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.”
We all know that despite what Simon says, he does get a lot of say on the show and who is on the judging panel.
Ryan Seacrest has also spoken, he says “I think as far as I know, you’ll see everybody back. I hope so.”
Notice that neither Simon Cowell or Ryan Seacrest mention the newest judge Kara DioGuardi?
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.
Do you think American Idol would survive without Paula Abdul?
After Scott MacIntyre, who is pretty much legally blind, received his yellow paper guaranteeing his trip to the finals, Ryan Seacrest attempted to high-five the contestant!
Yes, high-fiving a blind dude! Then Seacrest said, “We’ll SEE you in Hollywood.” What a hater.
Denise Richards says she doesn’t know what she’s going to do, short of performing in porno flicks, if her show gets the axe. Her wonderful hit show, It’s Complicated, was rumored to be biting the dust earlier this year, and we were all disappointed to find out that it’s still on the air.
Thanks a lot Ryan Seacrest!
Apparently, a friend of the “actress” says that Denise is worried about life after It’s Complicated should the show go the way of failing economy. Her pal said, “She’s willing to do just about anything and take any role that’s not pure porn.”
Seriously, she should probably consider porn or Playboy, because I don’t know anyone who watches her show at all. Or maybe they do, and they just don’t admit to it?
Jossip says, “Oh come on, you knew this day was coming. The day where you’d have to tear down all your Ryan Seacrest posters, scribble out his name in your notebooks, and stop planning for the time when you two could own all forms of media, forever and ever amen.
Lindsay Lohan was being interviewed on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and all but admitted that she was in a relationship with Samantha Ronson — Like we didn’t know.
Nicole Richie’s ex DJ AM provided the music and guests were said to have included mom Dina, sister Ali, Joel and Benji Madden, David Spade, Audrina Patridge, Sean Stewart and Evan Ross.
You know, I have nothing but good things to say about Lindsay and her relationship with Ronson. Lindsay has never looked happier and she’s staying out of trouble. Hope you had a happy birthday, Lindsay!

Interested in seeing Denise Richards getting her bare ass sprayed down with some fake tanner in the shower?
Nah — me neither!
I’d rather talk about how Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards continue to battle the nastiness in court.
During a brief hearing today, a judge ordered the estranged exes to split $150,000 in attorney’s fees and costs related to their ongoing custody battle.
The duo’s nasty feud over their toddler daughters Sami and Lola seemed to simmer down in March, when both sides acknowledged some sort of mutually satisfactory agreement had been arrived at.
But last month, Richards told KIIS-FM host Ryan Seacrest that Sheen had stopped making child support payments. The sitcom star’s camp refused to “dignify the majority of these allegations set forth by Denise Richards with any measure of response.”
I love it when stuff like this happens to Denise, cause I know she cussed like a sailor when she heard the news. She really is full of herself.

Will Britney show or will she blow it off? We’re all over it. A navy blue suited and mohawked Kevin Federline and his attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan have already arrived.
X17 Online is reporting that at the time of this posting, Britney is still at home.
Ryan Seacrest, who is in tight with Britney and her camp, announced on his radio show this morning that his “sources” were telling him Spears would not be showing up to her custody hearing at court today.
Spears is not required to be there, but if she doesn’t show, she’s probably losing her kids until April.
Sources state that the Commissioner will hear Britney’s testimony at whatever time she shows today, so check back here for updates!
Clearly she had a good time at her New Year’s Eve festivities. Kim partied with some close pals at Mansion. She and Reggie Bush bumped pelvis’ to usher in the New Year, while Fergie kicked it in Cali. Ryan Seacrest continued his quest to dethrone Dick Clark in New York, Kardashian held down the fort in South Beach Miami. Meanwhile frenemies Paris and Nikki Hilton took stakes in Las Vegas where Paris tapped Kevin Federline’s mohawk. Ashlee Simpson was also in Miami with eyeliner addict Pete Wentz at Shore Club.

Yeah, not a good idea AT ALL… but funny nonetheless.
With reports of an Amy Fisher sex tape, everyone´s a potential porn star. If you find one of these in an old storage closet, set fire to it. And yourself.
OR… how about Elizabeth Taylor in some lesbian sex romp, LOL!

So much Britney Spears news today. Well, I don’t know if it’s so much news as humorous anecdotes, but here we go anyway.
Up first is Britney’s Halloween costume – apparently she’s supposed to be a member of Josie and the Pussycats or something. Maybe she mistook the idea for a Vegas showgirl or perhaps found herself in the wardrobe department on the set of pornographic video and stole some clothes. Either way, it looks like Britney was having a happy Halloween.
Next in Britney news is her interview on KIIS-FM with Ryan Seacrest. You can listen here. Oh, the girl was completely out of it. This appears to be the only promotion she’s doing for her new album, “Blackout”, and she was barely there for it. Ryan woke her up when he called, so it took her a minute to it together.
And I guess she didn’t trust herself to do the interview alone, so cousin/assistant Alli Sims and friend/producer Sam Lutfi were also on board. My favorite part was when they supposedly lost reception – do you think she was trying to cover for that time there was confusion scheduling a visit with a parenting coach because of her poor cell phone reception? Hmmm…
When Ryan tried to ask about the ongoing custody battle and the media attention, Britney said, “People say what they want and do what they do. It’s sad how cruel our world can be,” and then they asked to change he subject. Good move, Brit. Then she left mid-interview to take a shower. Despite the lack of promotion, Brit has already sold 124,000 copies and is headed for #1.
And finally, In Touch is reporting that Britney’s clean drug tests should be a little suspicious. They say two witnesses saw Britney “out of control drinking and snorting cocaine during a wild party.” Musician Scott Kohler says, “I watched Britney let a guy do a line of coke off her chest.” Despite all the fun, Britney passed a court-ordered drug test just hours later. Things that make you go hmmmm, indeed.
Stay tuned for more, because I’m sure there will be by the end of the day.
