American Idol judge, Paula Abdul is reportedly fuming after finding out that fellow judge, Simon Cowell earns a whopping £20.5 million salary from the show whilst she is paid only £2.5 million per year.

Metro reports:

"Paula knew Simon was getting paid more but she never imagined it was this much more," said a source.

"She has a lot of concerns. It’s ridiculously obvious she’s getting pennies compared with Simon."

I think Paula is just going to have to suck this one up. After all, she is replaceable, Simon is not. Without Paula American Idol could continue almost unfazed, could the same be said if Simon Cowell was to depart the show? I doubt it!
