As we know Katy Perry is going to be a judge on ABC’s version of American Idol and it is rumored that she is getting $25 million for the gig. A number that reportedly isn’t sitting well with
Ryan Seacrest. According to
Page Six, he was only offered just over $10 million and he feels as the only original member of the singing competition left, he should make more than the newcomer.
While I get his point, I can see ABC thinking why should we pay him twice since they are already paying him for Live with Kelly and Ryan. Plus, Idol is costing ABC a lot of money and the chances of them making it back are going to be hard. At least according to CBS, who said it would take a 35 share to break even and that is why they turned it down.
Oh and Page Six also says that Perry isn’t making $25 million to do Idol. Which is a good thing because I don’t think she is worth that. Heck I don’t I even think she is worth a quarter, but that is me. I just don’t see people tuning in for her. Would you tune in for her or do you think they should have gone with someone else, anyone else?
