Well thank goodness!! We wouldn't want her to lose $900,000 over a slippery driveway, ick!!

Yesterday we discussed how Paula Abdul settled a lawsuit with Jill Kohl over a fall Jill endured while filming Hey Paula.

Though it had been reported that Paula lost $900,000, it was really just her insurance carrier!!

According to Vicki Greco of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP:

Ouch!!

That's the sound we make when we hear someone losing that much money.

But it's also the sound Jill Kohl made when she slipped and fell in Paula Abdul's driveway back in 2009!!

The film crew for Hey Paula was set up when Jill took the literal plunge and she hurt herself real bad!

So she sued Paula AND the production company.

Simon Cowell already gave his official statement, but let's be real, there's no juice there!! Just stuff cleaned up by a publicist probably…

But NOW he's opened up, and he's saying what's really on his mind about the job massacre that happened over at X Factor. He even has something to say about The Voice!

According to him:

Let's see what the network has to say about their music competition shows!

During a recent interview, Fox's president of alternative entertainment Mike Darnell opened up about the recent X Factor firings AND American Idol's ratings.

Here's what he had to say about X Factor:

So we've heard what Paula Abdul had to say about getting fired, and we heard what Nicole Scherzinger had to say about the ax.

But what does Simon Cowell have to say about the X Factor bloodbath?? A LOT of people have been wondering how he could fire close-friend Paula (not that he hasn't done something similar before, heyyy Chezza)!

Welp! Here he goes:

We were SHOCKED and SUPER SAD to see Paula Abdul on the list of those fired in the X Factor job massacre!

While we totally understood others on that list, Paula has been with Simon Cowell from day one!!

So what gives??

Maybe her statement will shed some light:

Talk about cleaning house!

NO ONE IS SAFE!

Perez for X Factor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While it seemed like little to no surprise at all, given their lackluster performances during the first season, that X Factor host Steve Jones and judge Nicole Scherzinger would not be returning for another year, sources close to the reality competition announced the inevitable last night - but shockingly, that also Paula Abdul would be let go along with them!
