Paula's contract was the only whose contract was up.
They offered her a substantial amount and she said no.
Guest Judges at each of the upcoming auditions. Some are confirmed, some more talks. They will have female pop stars and artists
By January they will have a solution. Like who might be her replacement
They are sad to see her go. They say they are excited for the change and look forward to it because it will be a different dynamic
Paula is not coming back. The contract negotiations are done.
They say they will still have 4 Judges. They say it is live TV that lead to the tech issues.
They said that Dollhouse's ratings and Joss creativity is why the show is coming back
Posh Spice and Katy Perry are confirmed as judges for the American Idol auditions
On Ryan's salary, he is not getting $15 million from just Idol. It is from CKS.
They say Joss is having fun now with Dollhouse and they are looking forward to a second season
Kara's contract had an option and that is why the announcement came out this week
There is a negotiated deal with Futurama but they have not committed to air it
It is still fresh with Paula being out. And it wasn't until her manager went to the press that they thought they might lose Paula. None of the filli-ins as of now are not expected to be her replacement. There will be a search for a new Judge and they want someone who has a great chemistry with the old Judges to become the 4th Judge
They say chemistry is more important than someone who is a little controversy. Someone that gets along with the Judges and the contestants. They have 4 months to find what will make the show more fun.
When asked about the departure NBC's Ben Silverman, they thought they were asking if he would Judge on Idol…lol
As of now they don't want rotating Judges come January. They want someone more permanent But still the decision is months away.
They were hoping Paula would come back. They loved her and wanted her back. They need to look at the decision being made is a positive thing. Change is good. The show is about the contestants.
Poss for three Judges, but prob will still be 4
Unlikely the final King of the Hill eps will air
It will be interesting to see who they will get to replace her for the auditions and then eventually for the show. Who do you think it should be?
