ABDUL 'DEMANDED $20 MILLION TO STAY ON AMERICAN IDOL'

PAULA ABDUL reportedly demanded $20 million (£13.3 million) from AMERICAN IDOL bosses to stay on the judging panel of the hit U.S. show.
The 47 year old is in negotiations with TV executives to resume her place on the series for the 2010 season, alongside Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi.
But discussions have come to a halt, with Abdul's manager David Sonenberg declaring, "Very sadly, it does not appear that she's going to be back on Idol."
And now new reports claim the reason behind Abdul's delayed signing for the show is because she is demanding $20 million - $10 million (£6.6 million) more than bosses are willing to offer her, according to RadarOnline.com.
