Paula Abdul gets Australian Idol offer

By David Knox on August 14, 2009 / Filed Under News 15

paula-abdul-american-idolPaula Abdul has apparently been given an offer from Australian Idol, says US website RadarOnline.com.

Producers have put their request to strike a deal with her in writing, the site claims.

What isn’t clear is whether it’s a permanent offer, a guest appearance, or is open-ended (presumably it’s the latter).

If she was wanting that rumoured $10m from American Idol it would be fascinating to hear what was offered by Australian Idol. $25 in gaming chips and a night at the Sebel Townhouse?

Still, a guest appearance would be a win / win here and a great way for Abdul to step out of the US media spotlight, presuming she isn’t actually lured back to American Idol which is apparently also on the cards.

Spin, spin, spin…

    Abdul – Smabdul!
    these shows are for losers
    ..may a well have kept Kyle!

    Time to bury this old turkey of an excuse for a ‘judged’ ‘talent’ show!

    Competitors get booted off to become low rent “Celebs” (what is that?) on
    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ with the “Stars” ! or some other rubish! ..most of us don’t even know who these people are … so forgettable

    Remember ‘Death, death death to disco’?
    We need a new song ‘Death Death Death to “reality” TV’!

    Ahh you already included your own funny counter offer by Australia.

    I was thinking, a bottle of passion pop in her share dressing room and the contents of Andrew Johns pants pockets.

    Considering that the Sebel Townhouse no longer exists, that would be an interesting offer!

    OMFG I would love it if they could get her out here! Even if only for 1 or 2 weeks… that would be freaking awesome… Paula… She’s a bit of a maniac but I love her. AmIdol won’t be the same without her.

    As a guest Aus Idol judge for a couple weeks – yes, if Ten can afford to fly her out and back first class and also pay the 6 figure appearance fee she’d also request
    (I greatly doubt if the first figure of that fee would start with a 1).

    id like to see her out here to guest judge for a week or two, love her or hate her, shes one of the reason that american idol became the phenomenon that it is!

    I notice one newspaper suggesting “Paula Abdul to host Australian Idol.”

    What a waste of money and time that would be.
    Paula’s talent died after “Opposites Attract”.
    She is incoherent and just another “I wanna be a celeb, gimme money”

    we need a hot judge, bring her on please!

    Let’s hope she rejects it or this doesn’t turn out to be true.
    John Foreman would be a much better judge!

    Our very own drunk and/or incoherent Paula Abdul guest appearance, wow!

  14. Tony August 14, 2009 at 11:20 am -

    We can’t afford her, in more ways than one!
