Simon 99% Staying For Three More $easons Of Idol!

So much for being stretched too thin!
Simon Cowell is just at the end of finalizing his contract with American Idol. Simon already has a year left in his existing contract and, now, is expected to sign on to a 2 year deal.
Furthermore, sources say he’ll be a getting a rather significant pay increase in the next agreement: $45 million, up from $36 million a year under his current contract.
That’s what Ryan Seacrest will make in 3 years!
Can’t we convince you to throw a little of that flow Paula Abdrool‘s way, Simon? Honestly, you need that much?!
Maybe a season without her will change your mind!
