"SIMON, show ME the money!”
That’s what ex- American Idol judge PAULA ABDUL told SIMON COWELL when she demanded $3 million in advance to join his new The X Factor show, sources say.
“Paula really wants to reunite with Simon on his new show next year. But she thinks he needs to either put up – or shut up!” the source said.
The former sparring partners have discussed reteaming, but Paula feels Simon needs to commit financially.
As The ENQUIRER previously reported, Simon – who’s leaving Idol after the end of the season – would love Paula to join him on new show The X Factor.
