		<description>lovepaula&amp;ryan...Simon gets $45 million over a three year period and no, he is not part of the leadership of the show, nor does he own any part of the show, nor does he have anything to do with what happens to the Idols AFTER the show. (I threw in that last part for people who think he &quot;pimps&quot; certain contestants in order to fill his own pockets.  He pimps certain contestants because he likes them better than others, which makes him...omg...wait for it...a JUDGE!)</description>

		<description>for me Paula is the best judge it s simple and clear I like her personality cause she s funny crazy and for Saula ( Simon and Paula  ) and like her emotional judging.   mmm The 4th judge  i have nothing against kara and I feel guilty 2 say this but 3 judges system was waaaaaay  better and adding a 4th judge was a bad idea it completely ruined the chemistry  and sometimes the judges were competing which is so uncomfortable , they used 2 b one family .  


 I feel that Paula s angry cause they disrespect her and want 2 send her a message she s replaceable while actually she s not . They are all taking huge money which 4 me I dont know what r they going 2 do with it but if they gave Simon and Ryan those figures Paula has the right 2 ask 4 more cause she s sitting right next 2 them and whether people like her or not she is a main person on AI .     At least they could have kept what they gave 2 them secret . She deserves what she is asking give Paula $$$$</description>

		<description>In the first place, I don&#039;t know why Simon gets THAT much. A hundred million or something? Could someone clarify if he&#039;s involved in the production? Sure, he&#039;s the most amusing judge, but to get a humongous talent fee (enough to pay a third world country&#039;s debt) for spewing weird metaphors is TAD too much.
Well yeah, but does you and your neighbor have the same job? Are you guys colleagues?  

What am trying to say is, Paula does have the right to demand a higher talent fee if the guy next to you is getting ten times more. Honestly, they bring the same amount of viewing (dis)pleasure to the show. Add to the fact that they are both pioneers of American Ido</description>

		<description>Good Morning Everybody!!! Time to rise and shine and enjoy another beautiful day.

Today&#039;s Quote: &quot;There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.&quot;

I missed my afternoon sign off yesterday. I was off site for my company&#039; annual Education Celebration. We manufacture school supplies and for the past several years we hold a celebration to all the schools in Spalding County and donate school supplies to all the teachers to disburse to the needy students in their classroom. This is a hugh event the we sponsor and this year we donated over $300,000.00 in supplies. What a wonderful day it was.

linny - I totally agree with you about Reid. I just knew she would choose Ed. Although, I was pulling for Kipton.</description>

		<description>Rodney time for a new thread: Kim Kardashian is single! Here is a little blog entry about it with picture:

http://thesuperficial.com/2009/07/kim_kardashian_is_single.php

There is a link to an US Magazine article, but the picture in the original source isn&#039;t as good. I&#039;m not the journalist here folks so I don&#039;t feel compelled to site the original. I think it goes without saying that I will either be locking myself in the room for the rest of the night, or boarding the next plane to Southern California.</description>
