Paula Abdul reportedly earned $5 Million per season of “American Idol”. To think that she left the show on her own power is crazy!

After getting paid that obscene amount just to judge people on T.V. Paula has moved on to smaller and worse things.

Paula hosted the 2009 VH1 Divas live in September. She also performed a medley of her number 1 hits “Straight Up”, “Cold Hearted”, “Opposites Attract”, and “Forever Your Girl”. Also on the program Paula poked fun at her Idol replacement Ellen DeGeneres, which was highly publicized in the media.

According to Reporters, it has been confirmed that Paula will be brought on board for the American version of the U.K.’s hit talent show, X Factor, as a judge alongside Simon Cowell.Cowell will also produce the show. It will air during the Summer and Fall on Fox, when American Idol is not on.

It is true thought that Ellen is very annoying and made Paula seem like a heavenly gift in comparison.
