Paula Abdul Crawling Back to American Idol?

Surprisingly, Paula Abdul, who often showed up to work on live national television wasted, is realizing that $4 million a year to critique singers while coming down off a pain pill high is a decent wage and therefore she is having second thoughts about playing hardball with American Idol producers.

Last week it was reported that Paula was courting ABC execs for possible stints on Dancing with the Stars and Ugly Betty. However, TMZ is saying that now Paula has no interest in either of those shows because she's pissed at ABC producers for leaking the news that she was in talks with them.

The problem for Paula is that it sounds like Idol producers aren't budging, however, and it doesn't look like they're willing to give her the $10 million per year she wants. It looks like Paula may be the one willing to negotiate down – now that the harsh reality is setting in of what might be in store for her career – like a bit part on Ugly Betty or sitting next to Bruno Tonioli as he screams thinly veiled sexual innuendos, which he passes off as critiques.

    Please bring Paula back? I have asked a number of times but I did it because I loved the show and the judges Paula and Simon make it so interesting all the time. It's so fun to watch them. She is the heart of the judges and they look like they enjoy her mess ups like we do. We love Paula just the way she is. PLEASE!!??
