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.
Jean, no he was just very ashy.
Scum, I have never even heard of a 21+ yr old theater! That sounds incredible! I bet the tickets cost a little more, but I am more than willing to drop $5 more than normal price on a movie ticket if it means no blacks, kids, or douchebags.
We have them here DB. Great place to see a movie and get served drinks. You also get your own recliner chair.
Christ, Cod, I need to find me one of those! Do they come in IMAX? Is this place a chain? I need INPUT!!!
Damn I’ve been an untalented asshole all my life and nobodys paying me 144m…..
the last time i went to see a movie, it was the midnight showing of that last piece of shit M. night shyamalaalalanan made and there was ja rule lookalike with a toddler in his lap….right in front of me.
i went to see angels and demons too, but i fell asleep at the beginning.
Why is he famous again?
technically, it’s 10 months of work, as they are doing back to back Idols!
still….that’s just an absurd amount of money.
Makes me think he thought…”fuck no, I don’t want to do this anymore, I’ll just ask for some obscene amount of money and they’ll say bugger off!”
Alas…..
So I make like 0.05% of what this guy does.
he’s the kind of asshole i like.
he takes all the hard work out of you sportfucking his girlfriend while he’s gone for 5 months.
Not that I am racist, but the stereotype REALLY comes into play in the movie theater.
Al franken wins the Minnesota senate race!
i’d want 144 million dollars to put up with paula abdul too
And what WALL-E, space-age shitbox is he driving in the banner pic?
watt,
pawlenty just said he would sign it on andrea mitchell…..not that i was getting stoned and watching that while ago…..
It’s not all fun and games I’m sure. Sure he gets paid ridiculous amounts of money to make fun of people publicly, drives fast and expensive sports cars, lives a bi-continental lifestyle, goes to incredible vacation destinations around the world, fucks supermodels then send em home and….wait, where was I going with this? I made myself sad :(
Nothing better on lefty?
doc?
watt,
it’s either that or cops cuz i don’t want to concentrate on plot. and i fucking hate how they never tape the scenarios where the people have nothing on them on Cops. it ruins everything. you know the motherfucker has a gun, or crack, or he stole the camaro…..it’s too predictable. let’s see an overt use of force on a homeless mexican. let’s see suspensions. slobber on my hero balls.
DB - That is a Bugatti Veyron. That car will make you and a lot of other cars its bitch but he can buy a Enzo so there is no excuse for driving that.
