So get this....
FOX is SUPPOSEDLY paying SIMON COWELL $144 MILLION A YEAR TO STAY ON "AMERICAN IDOL!
SIMON is currently in negotiations with Fox for his next "American Idol" contract, which ends after this next season in May. Talk about a PAY RAISE!
Simon has made $36 MILLION a season for doing Idol. Not bad right...but 144 MILLION!?
No surprise though...Idol is a HUGE cash cow. It's the highest-rated show on TV, and it generates an estimated $900 million each year for Fox.
