After Ryan Seacrest signed a deal, giving him $15 million per year, Paula Abdul and her deficient brain came up with the idea that she deserves more. Sources indicate:
Abdul isn't angry at Ryan personally for his new $45 million, 3-year deal, but she's bent out of shape at producers that she's making minimum "Idol" wage -- we're told between $2 and $3 mil a year.
Our spies say producers want Paula back for sure, but she's now doing the Hollywood thing of pretending like she'll walk.
Here's the fun part. Auditions for the next season start on August 6. We're told there are already plans to start the auditions without her if they don't have a deal.
As for what Paula wants -- we're told somewhere between 2 and 3 times what she's making now. Here's our guess -- $4.5 a year ... a lot better than the $5,000 a week she pulled in for season one.

Can someone let Paula know that Ryan actually has to work the entire time the show's on the air while she sits there and says things like, "It was, uh, you know, not your, uh, best, uh, performance but ..well you just look beautiful!" every 5-10 minutes? Not only that, but she's usually high every show, and other than possibly a job at Hollywood Video, you can't do that anywhere else.
