With Season 9 of American Idol scheduled to start recording in August, the American Idol Rumour Mill is starting to churn with new rumours regarding American Idol Judge Paula Abdul.
News from the Paula Abdul camp indicates Paula may get fired prior to the shooting of Season 9 of American Idol. Over the weekend, Paula Abdul's manager, David Sonenberg, told the Los Angeles Times The American Idol producers have not come forward with a contract proposal for Paula Abdul. This move is even more odd considering the Season 9 American Idol auditions are due to start August 6.
Shortly after marrying general contractor Mike McCuddy at the beginning of this month, the future of fellow Female judge Kara DioGuardi is also uncertain. Although there is no specific indication regarding the American Idol future of Kara Dioguardi, the fact that "No Boundaries" a song co-written by Kara DioGuardi and performed by American Idol Winner Kris Allen, has been dropped from the American Idol Tour may have spurred some further seeds of discontent as far as Kara DioGuardi goes.
Many fans of American Idol have always had a problem with Kara DioGuardi. Possibly suspecting her as a trial replacement for the overly sugary sweet Paula Abdul, Paula Abdul fans were always quick to roast Kara DioGuardi over her sometimes rambling comments. Fans of Paula Abdul have gone to creating a twitter page in support of Paula Abdul remaining on American Idol. Many websites are standing vigil with lists and reasons as to why Paula Abdul would remain a judge on American Idol.
When asked about the possible firing of fellow judge Paula Abdul from American Idol, Simon Cowell has cast doubt on Paula Abdul's future with American Idol by stating he wanted Paula Abdul to remain a judge on American Idol "I don't get a lot of say. I've just made it clear that I want Paula on the show," said Simon Cowell in an interview on Monday.
Although there have been indications that the popularity and saleability of American Idol has fallen over the years, the recent contract deal with host Ryan Seacrest would indicate the producers of American Idol are definitely in no shortage of cash. Reports indicate Ryan Seacrest just inked his portion of the American Idol pot with a record $45 Million contract which effectively doubled his salary from the previous season.
Earlier reports rumours American Idol Judge Simon Cowell as demanding over $100 Million for Season 9 of American Idol have been debunked by Simon as "preposterous"

Paula was the second best judge for the sole reason that she has some semblance of a personality... now the show is going to be even more dependent on Simon
