06.30.2009 Simon Cowell will make 144m

144 million dollars per season. 144 million. Dollars. One hundred. And forty-four. Million. Dollars.  Per season.  Which is five months long. 144 million dollars for five months.  Five months. One hundred and forty-four million dollars to judge “American Idol”. For five months.

Fuck my life.

EARLY salary figures from Simon Cowell’s ‘American Idol’ contract negotiations are leaking out and they’re eye-popping.
Cowell, who reportedly made $36 million last year for judging the hit competition show, has been offered three or four times that amount — between $100 million and $144 million per year — by co-producers Fox and 19 Entertainment to stick with ‘Idol’ when his contract expires next May.
While $36 million may seem like a lot of money for five months worth of snarky comments and eye-rolls, it’s only a fraction of the estimated $900 million that ‘Idol’ rakes in a year.”

Hopefully Paula will read this and go to the producers and say she wants 144 million a year too.  If she does do that, cover your ears, because big laughs are coming.

    $900 million…maybe they’ll buy Jacko’s remains a la the Elephant Man…

    Hey it’s a story about a white person.

    Fuck American Idol. Talent’s gotten down to only singing some factory lyricist’s crap and then having it run through studio magic a few times. No one plays their own instruments, writes their own material, or has a sense of musical pride and showmanship anymore.

    Like Prince.

    Can’t blame the guy for getting filthy stinking rich off of millions of dumbass television viewers.

    “Prime Crabbus” is pretty much the equivalent of Corky from Life Goes On commenting, isn’t it?

    Scum, is that the dude from Color Me Badd?

    Yeah. I spelled it right.

    wow…another great reason to shoot the idiot box in your living room.

    You know who deserves $144M? Teachers all 144 million of them. Make it happen Obama! Tax the dead

  15. SCUM 06/30/2009 14:10

    Sock, yes and he was Zombies role model.

  16. DB's Treasure 06/30/2009 14:10

    Scum, no I haven’t. I do not have the patience to sit in a theater with a 200+ person crowd mixed with cell phone happy blacks, ignorant loud teens, and dipshit jock-sucking frat assholes who think every character in the movie reminds them of themselves or the friend sitting next to them.

    I wait for the movie to be a month old before I go see it in a quiet, empty theater…or I wait for it to come out on DVD.

    PAULA ABDUL COULD POUR A SACK OF SHITTY GUNPOWDER INTO SIMON’S ASS AND FACE IT OUT AND ALL WE’D END UP WITH IS A COUPLE OF CHOPPED-TITS AND A BAD CASE OF DICK

    Scum - Are you saying Michael Jackson was not white?

  19. SCUM 06/30/2009 14:13

    Db, I just saw it in a 21+ theater with a bar and there was maybe 30 people. No blacks, jocks or cell phones.

    I badly wanna see The Hangover, but I have an incredibly short fuse when it comes to noise in a theater while trying to watch a movie I have never seen. If I sit there pissed off the whole time I will not enjoy myself or the film at all. It happened with Dark Knight, and to be honest, it never recovered. I had to stand up and threaten the entire theater at the Iron Man showing. Of course I got some heckling, but it shut up more than half of the bozos making noise.
