In one excerpt from the book, Cowell says he considered sleeping with Paula Abdul but didn’t want to because he didn’t want to make pillow talk with her!
“We would have to have a conversation afterwards, and I don’t know what we would have said.

Okay, the last part is probably not going to happen. But damn, it does kind of seem like Paula’s strapped for cash. In December, she had an estate sale, selling shoes, accessories, clothes and memorabilia.

If Paula Abdul wasn’t already having a crappy year, she’s now having to pay nearly a million dollars in damages to a woman who fell over on her driveway.
The woman, Jill Kohl, alleges she fell over in the grounds of Paula’s Los Angeles home during the taping of the singer's reality show, ‘Hey Paula.’ Kohl sued Abdul and the company who made the show. Jill’s lawyer
"It's only because I opened my big mouth and said we were going to get 20 million [viewers]. If I hadn't said that, everybody would be saying the show was a huge success."
You, Simon? A big mouth? Get out.

Simon Cowell must have had a really bad day on the ‘X-Factor’, because from the looks of it, he went storming around the set, saying ‘You’re fired!’ to everyone who crossed his path.
Reports surfaced this morning that Paula Abdul was out, and she responded to them in a statement.

After nine years of working next to each other, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul were almost working on top of each other.
"I mean, the truth was, on the first two seasons, we couldn't travel on the same plane together. We really disliked each other that much," Cowell told Barbara Walters, in her Most Fascinating People interview. Simon said that he and Abdul butted heads due to "sexual tension…on her part."

Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole replacement, Nicole Scherzinger, have been bickering on the judges’ panel. I'm sure it’s just staged passive-aggressive awkwardness with the attempt to keep ratings high, but it's entertaining nonetheless.
20 year-old Ivana Steelman got onstage and belted out "Big Spender" in a cheesy, trying-too-hard to be sexy way. Simon called her out on it, saying, "You remind me of Nicole. I think this is exactly what I would have seen with Nicole if she'd have been 20, auditioning for this show for the first time."

So in a nutshell, the show mentors some people who want to be famous, and then whoever wins gets a bunch of money and a recording contract with Syco/Sony Music. How is this different from Idol? Well, the prize is $5 million—five times as much as the American Idol prize. Oh, okay. I get it now.
Abdul says the performances are "Grammy-caliber." Does that mean someone's going to be rapping while half the song is bleeped out by censors? Or is someone going to announce their pregnancy during a performance?
