YOU’RE FIRED! Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler were Actually Let Go From American Idol!
Reports from the dailymail and our buddy Perez Hilton are backing up the email I received telling me that J. Lo and Steven Tyler didn’t quit, they actually got fired.
The whole tearful admission to Seacrest was reportedly all a farce.
J. Lo WANTED MORE DOUGH!
Jennifer Lopez who was getting what was originally thought to be $12 million but was later verified that she was earning $15 million and she wanted a raise.
TVST=> Was she jelly over Britney’s pay check from Simon Cowell?
She wanted a $2 million dollar raise and Fox flat out said no. They didn’t even counter.
Then they decided just not to renew Steven Tylers option.
The whole, “After some long hard thoughts, I’ve decided it’s time for me to let go my mistress “American Idol before” she boils the rabbit” was bull. The decision was made for him. It appears that the mistress dropped him first. The decision to go on tour with Aerosmith is a lot easier when you compare it to being unemployed.
RANDY IS ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Yo Dawg – Randy better get his resume updated and start friending people on Linked-In because he is right there on the cutting edge. Rumor has it that he’s next. They are looking at revamping Idol completely and leaving just Ryan Seacrest. For now, Randy is playing the role as supportive co-judge and 100% Pro-Idol and it’s choices. In the wake of the Lopez-Tyler booting he says,
“Steven and Jennifer are truly two of the most talented and consummate professionals I’ve worked with. I was friends with them before we hopped on this crazy journey together and I have no doubt our friendships will continue long after. I will love them for life.”
I would actually hate to see the Rand-man go. Hopefully he can hang on long enough to fall in sync with the new judges. Possible talks now are: Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.
