It’s official. Access Hollywood reports that Paula Abdul has decided to leave “American Idol.” They said she posted the following on her “Twitter” page, “With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #Idol,” she posted on her Twitter page. “I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent,but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day1become an international phenomenon.”

FOX also confirmed the announcement with an announcement of their own , “Paula Abdul has been an important part of the ‘American Idol’ family over the last eight seasons and we are saddened that she has decided not to return to the show. While Paula will not be continuing with us, she’s a tremendous talent and we wish her the best.”

It’s reported that Paula left “American Idol” due to money issues. She was reportedly asking for $20 million a year to return to the show,and “American Idol” was reportedly willing to offer her half that amount. So it looks like she may have gotten a little greedy because in my book, $10 million a year is more than enough cash for her.

However, “American Idol” won’t totally be without a female judge for season nine, as the recently new female judge Kara DioGuardi will be returning.
