Will we see Paula Abdul as a judge, yet again, on the next American Idol?
The answer to that question is still unknown!
It all depends on the formulation of Paula's new contract.

According to Paula's manager, if she doesn't get what she wants in the contract, she'll be walking out the door, leaving the other judges to ... judge without her!
Paula wants a new deal and the contract has to be forged with a whole lot of 'Paula-pleasing' terms.

It's clear now that if FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment don't reach out with a worthy proposal that will make Paula happy, we won't be seeing her defending any idol-wanna-bes next year!

The thing is, Paula felt really bad after Ryan Seacret signed a deal worth a reported $45 million that will keep him on the job for at least the next three years and Simon Cowell's rumored to be getting a new contract with a whopping $144 million deal!
Ouch!

Do you want to see Paula Abdul on the judging panel next year?
