Sources connected to Paula Abdul say Miss Paula wants back on "American Idol."

Our sources say Paula's Twitter is retracted -- at least in her mind - if the price is right. As we first reported, the magic number is $10 million. Will Paula move from that number? The way negotiations go in Hollywood ... probably, but we don't know for sure and if so how much she's willing to give.

We're also told Paula's meetings with ABC didn't really go anywhere. She doesn't want to do "Dancing with the Stars" -- we're told, in no small part, because she wants to be able to jump on a plane on a moment's notice to rejoin her fellow judges on "Idol."

And, we're told, Paula is piiiised at the producers of "Ugly Betty" for leaking the story that she was talking to them about doing the show. She's not going to do it now.

As for "Idol," as far as we know they've been pretty hard-nosed and haven't contacted her reps, but we're not positive. In the end, we're thinking "A.I." isn't gonna let a little Twitter torpedo one of its golden geese.

I really hope she comes back, but it seems just too good to be true.

I hope she returns as well. Without her loopiness and zany antics, the panel would be incredibly boring! :lol:

I knew we would hear something like this. :crazy:

I thought so too. I hope she doesn't come back.

Poor Paula. $5 million wasn't enough for her :rolleyes:

I do hope Paula comes back - I don't know what everyone has against her on the show, but her antics and her chemistry with Simon and Randy makes the show. Kara does nothing and is a complete bore. If she doesn't come back I don't think viewers will either.
